Featured Tune: "Let Summer Come Around" from The War of The Flowers

A Season of Letting Go

“Let Summer Come Around,” from Long Black Shadow, the sophomore album by The War of The Flowers, is a track that feels like a confession whispered under the glow of fading daylight. Rooted in the indie and alternative space, the song leans into vulnerability without ever losing its melodic grace. There’s something raw and unguarded here, a sense that the music is less about performance and more about release.

The track carries a subtle tension: a balance between the warmth of summer and the chill of loss. You can almost hear the struggle of holding on and the inevitability of letting go woven into the arrangement. The instrumentation is understated yet intentional, creating space for the emotion to breathe. Its pacing feels natural, as though the song unfolds in real time with the rhythm of memory, slow, reflective, but pulsing with quiet energy.

What makes this piece stand out isn’t just its honesty, but the way it translates that honesty into sound. The War of The Flowers doesn’t overcomplicate; instead, they trust simplicity to carry weight. That’s the real strength of the song, its ability to resonate deeply without ever straining for effect.
