The End of Summer

“Summer’s End” is the first single of John Prine’s latest album “The Tree of Forgiveness.” Right off the bat, the song feels very wistful. It would engulf you with reveries you never knew you had for something you’re running away from. The song is deeply moving with its simplistic lyrics and straightforward narratives. Yet, it effectively delivers the story of the singer urging someone to ‘come home’ and that ‘they are not alone.

The end of the music video is credited to someone named “Max.” Who, Prine revealed to be the son of Nashville Mayor Megan Barry, have died due to a combination of drugs. The music video itself sends a poignant message of personal choices and what it means to be a family. Coupled with “Summer’s End,” the combination makes a hauntingly tender tapestry.

The opioid crisis is tearing American families apart. I love what Elaine McMillion Sheldon and Kerrin Sheldon have done with my song for this video. I hope a lot of people see it.
