"In an interview with NPR, he says, “It’s a love story set in World War II, about falling in love in an [Japanese American] incarceration camp and ultimately losing that love. The significance is that the idea of love, loss, and desire are consistent themes throughout history and help us to empathize with a people in a disconnected past.”'
The song is already absolutely top tier gorgeous, but knowing the context really amps it up even more.

[@miyakonoguchi3858]

especially for those of us who are descendants of those who were imprisoned during that time. i like to imagine this album could be about some of my aunties and uncles :')

[@jonathantarpley9269]

Matisyahu- "One Day" also another great message from reflections on the atrocities of war... a bit Bob Marley-'esk'... kishi bashi is a pioneer with powerful resonance.

[@vascanj]

How incredible that The Babysitter’s Club Chose a song so fitting and accurate to the subject they were portraying in their show. Much respect.

[@vascanj]

And thank you for sharing the history behind the song!

[@roller4854]

Love on this Earth, with hatred rulers is harsh. I bet

Kishi Bashi - Summer of '42 (2019)
What are the things you wanted
The same as anyone
Just a hand to hold a little
After all is said and done
And the days were long and open
Cause I had a view of you
The Summer of '42
When I was in love with you
We counted stars above us
We dreamed of Xanadu
We'd sneak off to the desert
The sand over your fancy shoes
The first day that I met you
I wrote down in my book
I am in love with you
I am in love with you
You
I am in love with you
You
I am in love with you
I'm in love with you
The days have gone asunder
The chaos of the war
Made men of everybody
But our memories I adore
We named our favorite sunsets
But I remember very few
The Summer of '42
When I was in love with you
But years have turned to ages
And I know you've someone new
I looked for you with every breath
A soldier wrecked with solitude
I climbed up the highest mountain
And I shouted to our view
I was in love with you
I was in love with you
You
I was in love with you
In love with you
You
I am in love with you
You
I am in love with you
I'm in love with you
You
I am in love with you
You
I am in love with you
I'm in love with you
You
I am in love
You
I am in love
I am in love with you
You
I am in love with you

[@smilealways4978]

Taylor Andrew thanks for the lyrics really appreciate ❤️✨

[@sarahgeminigirl]

Saw Kishi Bashi last night at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro NC sold out show. He and the band were just incredible. This lush composition is one of my favorites on the new album. His creations and live presence transcend the audience to a new place together. So beautiful - thank you for your art

[@jamesaburke7]

I've never been to Japan, or a war, but I can't stop sobbing when I hear this album. My pofile picture is just a drawing, I drew in college, during the first gulf war. My dad was in WWII though, so maybe it's a lost love he had, that I'm feeling. IDK. This album is a masterpiece.

[@Little-rb6rb]

sounds like you have emotional problems

[@inali_illustrates9142]

The events that this song is about actually take place in the US, it is in the Japanese American incarceration camps of 1942-1946

[@ThomasPopeUNC]

The production on this is some of Kaoru's most lush and cinematic yet! There's almost a reverent quality channeled here, beyond hyped for the new album

[@Gabriel-xo2kl]

Here from the Baby Sitters Club.

[@now192002]

Same, amazing the gems you find in the most unexpected places.

[@theaudacityofmortals8281]

Me too ❤

[@nato_playz7584]

Samee. When I heard this sound i instantly clickes to it. Its so amazing

[@machalatte3554]

same

[@CHIRAG9868]

I just can't get over this song since the last two weeks when I first heard it on BSC. Right from the violins and flute with an amazing story behind it that takes you to those days in the history.

[@lorcanoconnor6274]

Like a hug, affects me like no other artist

[@ThePigeonBrain]

This is just the ultimate lovesong. I think about Hayase's bloodline from "to your eternity" when listening to this. Hayase was hopelessly in love with Immo, a godlike being who didn't love her. She passed down her love through her bloodline, with the wish to one day have a child with Immo.
They're like a crane dancing for the sky, desperate to have their love answered.

[@TreeOfManna]

This song was written for a specific time and place, but must very easily resonate for anyone - in any time - in any place - who loved, lost, but will always remember.
All days may be the Summer of '42.

[@shiningdawn8578]

Indeed! Hits straight through to my very core.

[@madagascarpenguin]

In my opinion, this is by far the best song in The Babysitter's Club. I can't stop listening to this lol.

[@pink_destiny8332]

Right! ❤

[@kalinawitkowska7372]

chills and goosebumps, I felt every word

[@heartbrokencorpse]

The song is so incredibly beautiful it brought tears to my eyes

[@Dreamoc88]

Omoiyari cometh! This is gorgeous, thanks for sharing your work with us Kaoru. It’s great to hear the full track after all those Instagram stories.

[@DavidHdz94]

Hermoso. Faltan palabras para describir la pieza. Todo el amor y admiración desde México, maestro Ishibashi.

[@alacoste2769]

♥️♥️I love this song . . Beautiful . Cannot wait for the album . .❣️

[@Phoenix0630.]

Me too! I want it

[@clintonmarius4867]

Poignant, evocative, ethereal, exquisite song of love

[@aidanjones6937]

This spoke to me immediately. I am a huge music fan, rating American Football, local Natives, The National... among the best this year. Apple Music played Summer of ‘42 as the first song, it whipped me to bag of mush within 10 seconds. Deeply moving. Sweepingly Cinematic with a voice speaking just to you. Buy, download, stream

[@b..1kevinmessner606]

Hats off....... fine work. This song just kinda catches your ear. Definitely excited for this new album, especially after watching that teaser video.
A new fan.....😏

[@julialovesnancy81]

i found this song by accident and i couldn’t be happier :)

[@adriftandalone]

Were all the things you wanted
The same as anyone?
Just to have and hold a living
After all is said and done
And the days were long and open
'Cause I had a view of you
The summer of '42
When I was in love with you
We counted stars above us
We dreamed of Xanadu
We'd sneak off to the desert
The sand over your fancy shoes
The first day that I met you
I wrote down in my book
I am in love with you
I am in love with you
You
I am in love with you
You
I am in love with you
Fell in love with you
The days were gone asunder
The chaos of the war
Made man of everybody
But the memories I adore
We named our favorite sunset
But I remember very few
The summer of '42
When I was in love with you
The years have turned to ages
And I know you have someone new
I looked for you with every breath
A soldier after solitude
I climbed to the highest mountain
And I shouted to our view
I was in love with you
I was in love with you
You
I was in love with you
In love with you
You
I am in love with you
You
I am in love with you
I am in love with you
You
I am in love with you
You
I am in love with you
I am in love with you

Traducción:
Eran todas las cosas que querías
Were all the things you wanted
¿Igual que cualquiera?
The same as anyone?
Solo para tener y mantener una vida
Just to have and hold a living
Después de que todo está dicho y hecho
After all is said and done
Y los dias eran largos y abiertos
And the days were long and open
Porque tenia una vista de ti
'Cause I had a view of you
El verano del 42
The summer of '42
Cuando estaba enamorado de ti
When I was in love with you
Contamos estrellas sobre nosotros
We counted stars above us
Soñamos con Xanadu
We dreamed of Xanadu
Nos escabulliríamos al desierto
We'd sneak off to the desert
La arena sobre tus elegantes zapatos
The sand over your fancy shoes
El primer día que te conocí
The first day that I met you
Escribí en mi libro
I wrote down in my book
estoy enamorado de ti
I am in love with you
estoy enamorado de ti
I am in love with you
usted
You
estoy enamorado de ti
I am in love with you
usted
You
estoy enamorado de ti
I am in love with you
Me enamoré de ti
Fell in love with you
Los días se fueron en pedazos
The days were gone asunder
El caos de la guerra
The chaos of the war
Hecho hombre de todos
Made man of everybody
Pero los recuerdos que adoro
But the memories I adore
Nombramos nuestra puesta de sol favorita
We named our favorite sunset
Pero recuerdo muy pocos
But I remember very few
El verano del 42
The summer of '42
Cuando estaba enamorado de ti
When I was in love with you
Los años se han convertido en edades
The years have turned to ages
Y se que tienes a alguien nuevo
And I know you have someone new
Te busqué con cada respiro
I looked for you with every breath
Un soldado tras la soledad
A soldier after solitude
Subí a la montaña más alta
I climbed to the highest mountain
Y le grité a nuestra vista
And I shouted to our view
Yo estaba enamorado de ti
I was in love with you
Yo estaba enamorado de ti
I was in love with you
usted
You
Yo estaba enamorado de ti
I was in love with you
Enamorado de ti
In love with you

You
estoy enamorado de ti
I am in love with you

Play it back at .75 speed, trust me.

[@c.d.silbernagel]

To be honest, this is the only song I don't care for on the album. I appreciate the meaning behind it, but it's repetitive, poorly put together, and rather boring. It's a strange release for an otherwise solid album.

[@vib0naut]

Fail you get an F in kishibashi CD Silb and to be honest, ur boring get wrecked

[@c.d.silbernagel]

​@Aleksey Pälm-Leeis Sure, but caring criticism is a good thing. I would say you have to accept that other people have a different opinion than your own.
