They could be about the actual season, or just be songs listened to most while doing things you do during the summer\u2014taking a road trip, going to the coast, sitting outside on the roof or the porch or the beach or wherever. And actually, maybe most of those songs were written during the winter or the spring by someone somewhere cold who was looking forward to summer (because for one thing, if you want a song to come out during the summer, please note that you have to make it long before then).<\/p>\n<p>If you get the \u201cdemo\u201d version of <em>This Summer<\/em>, it\u2019s one of many demos for this song. The very first one was actually all electric and sounds a little too close to the studio version to be worth hearing. I had to do a bunch of quiet ones to get the structure right; this is one of those. The B-side features the band\u2019s own take on Bananarama\u2019s \u201980s hit <em>Cruel Summer<\/em>.
