About The Song
This particular track, “Fall of Summer,” it’s not just another country song; it’s a reflection. It’s that moment when the warmth of summer starts to give way to the cooler, more contemplative days of autumn. It’s a universal feeling, isn’t it? That sense of time passing, of memories lingering, and of change on the horizon.
What McCreery does so well here is capture that bittersweet sentiment. He paints a vivid picture with his lyrics, those images of “moonlight on the shoreline” and “white sand in the floorboard.” It’s the kind of imagery that takes you back to those moments, those feelings, those summers that seem to slip away too quickly.
And it’s not just the lyrics; it’s the way he delivers them. There’s a certain sincerity in his voice, a kind of heartfelt nostalgia that really connects with the listener. You can almost feel that gentle shift in the air, that sense of reminiscing on days gone by.
Now, from a musical perspective, “Fall of Summer” has that classic country sound, but with a modern touch. It’s got that mellow, easy-listening vibe, the kind of tune you can put on while you’re driving down a country road, or just sitting on the porch, watching the leaves change. It’s a very easy listening song, with very clean and well recorded instrumentation.
In a way, this song is a testament to McCreery’s growth as an artist. He’s not just singing about the typical country themes of love and loss; he’s exploring those deeper emotions, those moments of reflection that we all experience. He’s tapping into that universal human experience of watching time pass and cherishing the memories we’ve made.
So, when you listen to “Fall of Summer,” take a moment to really listen to the lyrics, to the emotion in his voice. It’s a song that invites you to slow down, to reflect, and to appreciate those fleeting moments of summer before they fade into the crispness of autumn. It is a very well written song, and performed with a very high degree of professionalism.

Lyric
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Every time that first warm breeze blows in, I think about itI can almost smell that salt in the windWondering if your number is still the sameHey girl, I doubt itI haven’t called it since God knows whenSince moonlight on the shorelineHeart with my name next to yoursSome memories stick around like white sand in the floor boardHere’s to my red-light dashboard drummerBest sunsets that I ever sawEvery kiss like a cold rum runnerI still remember it all, September calling it offHere’s to the rise and fall of summerYou said I wouldn’t miss you when you got back home to DallasAnd I said you oughta come see me at stateYou were the one who taught me how heartbreak happensFeeling the sting and then watching it fadeLike a sunburn on your shouldersGirl, that’s all it was to youWhen I think about you and meIt’s a little more like a tattooHere’s to my red-light dashboard drummerBest sunsets that I ever sawEvery kiss like a cold rum runnerI still remember it all, September calling it offHere’s to the rise and fall of summerLike moonlight on the shorelineHeart with my name next to yoursSome memories stick around like white sand in the floor boardHere’s to my red-light dashboard drummerBest sunsets that I ever sawEvery kiss like a cold rum runnerI still remember it all, September calling it offHere’s to the rise and fall of summer (fall of summer)I still remember it all (fall of summer)Here’s to the rise and fall of summer
