The dvd of this album & video collaboration was special. Can't recall the exact name but bought it at best buy ~ 2007. Whole album/videos were awesome for turning on the heart light. May GOD bless
Did I miss something in this song everyone else seems to be seeing? Everyone else talking like this song is about missing out on youth and to me it's about love that is lost due to change; a romance that grew apart.
I think the beauty of a great song is everyone relates to it in their own way. I'm with you a holiday romance that died when it came back to real life. But maybe that's because it's something that relates to my life. Great song though not given enough credit then or now
Aging is in and of itself a tragic love affair as we yearn for the youth we didn’t cherish enough and can never return to…much like a summer romance; it is all too fleeting and as sweet as it will ever get
To me its always been kind of a combination of a metaphor and a literal story. Most people have that holiday or summer romance from their teen years that ended because of circumstances ending or changing. Nothing we could do. We didn't appreciate it like we could have in that moment, but thats how life goes. I also believe its a metaphor for childhood and innocence lost.
If i could go back 13 years ago i would. Long drives behind my parents house on dark country roads with the love of my life memmories i can never forget. The best things in life seem to be so simple 😍💘
Squeaky swings and tall grass The longest shadows ever cast The waters warm and children swim We frolicked about in our summer skin I don't recall a single care Just greenery and humid air Then Labor Day came and went And we shed what was left of our summer skin On the night you left I came over And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders Our brand new coats so flushed and pink And I knew your heart I couldn't win Cause the seasons change was a conduit And we'd left our love in our summer skin
My husband and I broke up against our will when we were very young. That was around the time this song came out. This song nursed my heart during that time. So blessed to have him ❤
Labor Day 2023 is coming to a close as I write this UA-cam comment, which perhaps only I will ever read again, but as I type these words while listening to this incredibly simple, yet profoundly complex song, I have an appreciation for it even more than I did previously. My oldest of 4 graduated high school in June and a couple of weeks ago we moved her into her dorm for her Freshman Year in college, not too far from where DCFC spent their college years. It was the greatest, hardest day of my life so far. Never before had I considered this song in the light of a family growing up and into a new phase - for me, it had always been about that first high school love when one, or both, ultimately realize time, distance, and life have become too much for those fragile bonds to withstand. I know a new season awaits my daughter, and our family. A season filled with incredible highs, and undoubtedly, some painful lows. I now listen to the cadence of the drumbeat as a constant that keeps us ever-moving forward instead of as a march to the end. Thank you DCFC for this song - it forever has a spot on my all-time top 5. #LaborDayHasComeAndGone #WePeeledTheFrecklesFromOurShoulders #AndIKnewYourHeartICouldntWin #WeLeftOurLoveInOurSummerSkin
I understand the feeling. My fiance and I get her daughter (I call her mine also because she attached to me when her mother and I first met 8 years ago) for the summer. I pick her up on the 4 hour drive to bring her back home to us at the beach. We get her until August and basically try to fit in all the time we lost during the year. ...but that drive back up to meet her sperm donor is the hardest drive of my life as I put on my most happy face for her sake. And after I drop her off and get back on the interstate, I bawl like a baby the next hundred miles back, and sit in silence the next 200. Now she's 16 and growing up so fast and, although it is a fact of life, I dread the day she graduates and goes off to college. You shed an entirely different perspective on this song with your story. I thank you for that, and wish you and your family the best. Cheers from the coast of Carolina
What most of all us might not realize, is this is what most couples go through. The lyrics define the beauty of Summer connecting relationships. Adventures, experiences, the most powerful courtship that happens during the warmth of summer. What felt good in warm liberating weather, begins to slowly go away as seasons change, and we start to learn the difficulties of relationships which happen roughly after 4-6 months of being together. This falls around Labor day, we then break up, shed our summer skin, and start over.
All four years of high school felt like this song on a loop. I felt like those kids in the video programmed and complacent. Every year that went by the future seemed a little bit darker. My vision, it became a lot more dim. But it was a place I felt oddly most comfortable being in, that dark place felt like home.
I have to assume that it was Ben who put the video so far out of place from the lyrics. It adds a different dimension. Do believe I get it. Makes the song set in the past rather than the present while somehow both. Well done.
For You Joseph L Arguelles 1/4/22 I wish I knew the day before Christmas eve would have been the last time I saw you. I love you DA I'll always remember you in my winter skin 🥺🥺🥺💔💔
Always pictured one of my teenage ex’s. We were infatuated with each other and spent every minute together for a few months during the summer. We spoke about her leaving her home state and staying here. One day I came home from work and she was not there. Her brother called me who I met once and told me her bf she dated for several years came and took her back and she went back to her hometown thousands of miles away, and it ended there.
This is really good the fact that they put kids in this one says creatively in it I will be honest with you this makes me think about my 5 year old nephew everyday
This song came out 17 years ago and it still brings me to tears. Most of this album does.
*A good cry cleanses the soul.* Enjoy.

@markwilliams2206 likewise. Some times you need to sit in the melancholy. This is the playlist for it.
mate , you're not wrong there

Lost love, lost youth…….pretty much the same
@@FedUpSouthernGirl wow, your words struck me deep; beautiful mind ✨️
If i could go back 13 years ago i would. Long drives behind my parents house on dark country roads with the love of my life memmories i can never forget. The best things in life seem to be so simple 😍💘
Hitting you right in the feels since '05.
Great song. Everything about it is pure beauty. That drum beat is fantastic!
Yes. The way it couples with that crazy bass line is just exquisite.
Squeaky swings and tall grass
The longest shadows ever cast
The waters warm and children swim
We frolicked about in our summer skin
I don't recall a single care
Just greenery and humid air
Then Labor Day came and went
And we shed what was left of our summer skin
On the night you left I came over
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Our brand new coats so flushed and pink
And I knew your heart I couldn't win
Cause the seasons change was a conduit
And we'd left our love in our summer skin
Came here on the same day nice
He is such a master with words, and as an English Honor's kid, I appreciate it so much more after learning how difficult writing like this is.
My husband and I broke up against our will when we were very young. That was around the time this song came out.
This song nursed my heart during that time.
So blessed to have him ❤
Sorry for your loss.
Oh how we forget to cherish our youth...loved this
This video is why I try to have my kids enjoy life as much as possible before the grind hits.
Who says it has to? 😜
We don't forget; we just got it taught too late

One of my all-time favourite songs, thanks for uploading the video ☺️
This had always been one of my favorite music videos from DCFC. Thanks for uploading it!
This was a powerful video. Interesting reinterpretation of the song.
This has been the actual meaning of the song since it came out
Great song 👌! Every single song on this album is good! Absolutely wonderful album!
The rythem section on this song seems to sugest the enevitable march of time.
Great comment. They are a very smart band. Definitely intentionally done.
My top 5 death cab songs. Nostalgia, love, loss, bass, it has it all. I miss my summer skin ❤
Remember listening to this a lot in summer of 2009. Gotten over a long term, mentally abusive relationship. Felt the fresh new start of life again.
Toooo many bangers on this album!
One of my favorite songs.

Music will never be the Same. 😕❣️

One more minute you’ll never get back.
One more hour you’ll never get back.
I love how they added that in there
So simply yet eloquent.
Absolutely amazing 👏 🥰
Awesome!
Simply beautiful 😍

The ending makes me emotional
Love this
Nostalgia!

One of the best bass lines ever in alternative music. So good. Love this song.

A marching song for the innocent.
I recognize some of these outdoor areas! #Seattleite
We frolicked about in our summer skin... oh, how I miss Brazilian summers :(
🗣💯🙌🏽
Lyrics pls
this song makes me bare my teeth and hope for stronger better days
Nice 😺👍💚💚💚
A friend once suggested we should have children run our businesses since they rarely die from Covid-19. I sent him this video ;)
🌙
Pow stay here son
I need to go out in my summer skin again
I wish I could go back to 2006.
And so when the devils nasty little cheeser
