HAIM - Summer Girl

A: HAIM
S: Summer Girl

Early on in the making of Haim’s 2017 album Something to Tell You, the band’s producer and Danielle Haim’s romantic partner Ariel Rechtshaid learned that he had been diagnosed with cancer. Though he’s since recovered, Haim’s new song Summer Gir was born at a time when his prognosis was still uncertain. Co-produced by Rostam and Rechtshaid himself, the sweetly plaintive song captures the disquieting feeling of trying to conjure up any ounce of hope in a grim situation.

... you walk beside me, not behind me.
