Summer '68 (5:28)

Cover of Double Hits Collection, Volume 1

From Double Hits Collection, Volume 1 and 5 other releases

“Summer ‘68” is a song by Pink Floyd on their album Atom Heart Mother. Written and sung by Richard Wright, it is about a one night stand, likely with a groupie, and the return to habitual life. The soft piano intro contrasts with the bombastic trumpet solo breaks in the middle and end of the song, the latter breaks echoing the “Father’s Shout” theme from the “Atom Heart Mother” suite. Unlike the classical-inspired Sysyphus on Ummagumma, “Summer ‘68” sees Wright returning to lyrical rather than instrumental song writing.

Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel
We said goodbye before we said hello
I hardly even like you
