The Band is known for their oddball sound, which is a result of recording their songs in the old analogue way. Their live shows are very wild and unpredictable.
Members of Airfare are living together in a flat in Praha, they eat together, sleep together and also make music together. Two songs off their first album called "Hotel Moscow" were used in a new czech movie "O život".

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i guess some could say we had a lot of fun
walking down the beach like in the movie
lock guards in lips on the dark sun
one night one day we get one last try
to get things living
you coming knocking on my door late at night
know the climb gone for the winner
My summer girl summer girl you want
my summer girl summer girl
You know it my summer girl summer girl
You want my summer girl summer girl
You know it!
Yes she´s alright /you know it/ Yes she´s alright
Yes she´s alright /you know it/ Yes she´s alright
dost time you far we be together
but in my mind nothing is forever
now you dont believe that it was all true
I hope you know i never try to hurt you
dont cry my lady you got one last try
the try mean crazy
My summer girl summer girl you want
my summer girl summer girl
You know it my summer girl summer girl
You want my summer girl summer girl
You know it!
Yes she´s alright /you know it/ Yes she´s alright
Yes she´s alright /you know it/ Yes she´s alright
The song "Summer Girl" by Airfare is a nostalgic ode to past summers spent with someone special. The opening lines "Looking back to days we were so young, I guess some could say we had a lot of fun" immediately sets the tone for the song. The singer reminisces about walks down the beach, and kissing with the sunset as a backdrop. The repeated phrase "one night one day we get one last try to get things living" seems to suggest that the singer and the summer girl have been apart for a while and are reminiscing on the fun they used to have.
The chorus of the song is where the singer professes their love for the summer girl, saying "My summer girl summer girl you want, my summer girl summer girl, you know it." The repetition of this phrase and the use of the word "my" highlights the possessive and adoring feelings the singer has for this girl. However, there is a sense of uncertainty in the lyrics, with lines like "now you don't believe that it was all true" and "nothing is forever". The singer seems to be trying to convince the summer girl that their love was real, despite the passing of time and their current distance.
Overall, "Summer Girl" is a sweet and nostalgic song about love and summer memories. The singer is trying to hold onto the memories and convince the summer girl of their love, despite the passing of time and uncertainty of the future.

Looking back to days we were so young
Reflecting on the past when we were young
i guess some could say we had a lot of fun
Perhaps some would claim that we had a great time
walking down the beach like in the movie
Strolling along the seaside as if in a film
lock guards in lips on the dark sun
Kissing in the sun's dim light
one night one day we get one last try
We have one final chance to make things work
to get things living
To bring things to life
you coming knocking on my door late at night
You show up at my door late at night
know the climb gone for the winner
We both know that the competition is over
My summer girl summer girl you want
You want me, my summer girl
my summer girl summer girl
My girl of the summer
You know it my summer girl summer girl
You know that you want me, my girl of the summer
You want my summer girl summer girl
You desire my girl of the summer
Yes she´s alright /you know it/ Yes she´s alright
Yes, she's okay - you already know it
Yes she´s alright /you know it/ Yes she´s alright
Yes, she's okay - you already know it
dost time you far we be together
Most times you are far away, but we will be together
but in my mind nothing is forever
However, nothing lasts forever in my mind
now you dont believe that it was all true
Now you don't believe that it was all real
I hope you know i never try to hurt you
I hope you know that I never intended to hurt you
dont cry my lady you got one last try
Don't cry, my lady, you have one more opportunity
the try mean crazy
This attempt is going to be insane
