about

Most of those songs about the summer are bright, cheery, something to look forward to. Of course my mind doesn't think of the obvious so I chose to write it about someone who dreads the impending summer months due to the fact they can't swim and enjoy those times with friends. I, myself, CAN swim and this song remains a popular sing-a-long with fans when I play it live.

lyrics

Children can be so cruel in the summer sun
when they deny the fun, participation
Gather round a body blue and chemical
Curricular sabbatical, oh

I’m not self-conscious taking off my shirt
but they don’t understand
I never learned

The summer’s going to be a disappointment
‘cause I can’t swim

about

The Enigmatic Foe Knoxville, Tennessee

With sharp lyrics, the playful pop bite of the best of the 70s and 80s, and the kind of self-deprecation usually reserved for a Woody Allen movie, Jared Colinger's lyrics run the gamut from the joy of new love to disillusionment with the old, from wanting to like yourself to being afraid of what we have in our minds.

The new music coming in 2023.
