flipturn - August (Official Music Video) [04:49 | Rock, Indie Rock]

August is based off a relationship I had in my life where things seemed to only work out in the month of August. In that month everything was perfect and seemed like it would last forever. Yet outside that one month everything would fall apart until ironically the next August. The song is supposed to reflect on how in life we come across people that at times are the closest people to us and know us better than anyone, then at another they become complete strangers.

The lyrics of “August” are filled with poetic imagery, allowing listeners to delve into the emotions conveyed by the singer. The song starts with the lines, “August, honey, tasted sweeter with you / Sticky fingers from your old residue.” These lines suggest a sense of nostalgia and longing for a past love, reminiscing about how things were and the sweetness that was once shared.^[[2] https://beatcrave.com/w2/the-meaning-behind-the-song-august-by-flipturn/]
