Summer Festival – Whiteberry (Full)

A classic summer love tune.

It’s the signature song of the girls’ band Whiteberry.

Since it’s sung by girls, you might think it’s from a girl’s perspective, right? But if you listen closely, you’ll realize it’s actually from a boy’s point of view.

The two go to a summer festival together, and the stubborn distance between them becomes frustrating.

They manage to get close, yet he never says “I love you” in the end… Doesn’t that feel like the feelings of a young boy?
