Whitey is an ongoing solo project by N.J. Whitey. He is a hard character to pin down- his genre-twisting songs swing wildly between styles, and his dismissive attitude towards the music industry means there are few shows, and even fewer interviews. He has to date had no major record deal, but has still released over 30 records under a variety of names. Yet without any significant industry investment his distinctive sounds have broken through to mainstream daytime radio in the U.S and elsewhere, and for four straight years his music has been a fixture from rock clubs to fashion runways, from movie soundtracks to television, computer games to skate films. From Japan to Iceland, Moscow to Hollywood. From Breaking Bad to the Sopranos to Grand Theft Auto. Gradually this cult U.K. artist has built a strange home in the shadowy ground between high fashion and mainstream entertainment, between pop radio and what little is left of the underground. An outsider who relishes this status, and celebrates this outsider ethos in his work.
He's lived in a variety of places, but you could say he finished growing up in Coventry, UK. He now lives in Los Angeles. He sings, programs, plays guitar, keys, bass and drums but has no formal qualifications and is totally self taught. His live shows are haphazard- some are an uplifting rhythmic experience, whilst some occur in deliberately darkened rooms and are hedonistic affairs drenched with chaotic walls of feedback and electronic noise. Others may swing from ferocious rock moments to gentle simple melodies played on tiny bells, acoustic guitars and toy instruments. There have been gigs with everyone from New Order to Iggy Pop, Soulwax to Peaches to the Undertones. He's as comfortable playing a sweaty NYC rock club as an Ibizan dance megaclub, and is one of the few artists regularly invited to play both.
Lost Summer
Whitey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I felt a place changing inside
I know I've been down
I missed out
Clouds in my sky
I don't know
Where my summer's gone
Away
I don't know
Where my summer's gone
It's gone
It's gone
It's gone
Lost summer
Where are all the sons of flaming June
A life along an easy afternoon
Let these shadows come so quickly
Things don't touch me anymore
Waiting while the hours are waiting
Is this the calm before my storm
I don't know
Where my summer's gone
It's gone
It's gone
It's gone
I don't know
Where my summer's gone
It's gone
It's gone
It's gone
The lyrics of Whitey's song Lost Summer are powerful and emotive, telling a story of a person who is lost, confused and struggling to come to terms with the changing landscape of their life. The first verse opens with the singer describing how something feels different; they have experienced a new type of weather, and they feel that a place inside of them has changed. Perhaps a relationship has ended, or they've moved to a new city, and this change has left them feeling unsettled and unsure. They acknowledge that they've been down and have missed out on something important, symbolized by the clouds that obscure their skies.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on the passing of time and the feeling that they've missed something. They wonder where their summer has gone, and the repeating refrain of "it's gone" underlines the sense of loss and regret. The reference to the "sons of flaming June" is a nod to John Keats' poem To Autumn, which describes the ripening of fruit and the passing of summer into autumn. Whitey is invoking this sense of the fleeting nature of summer and the passage of time, emphasizing the frustration and melancholy of feeling like something important has been lost.
Overall, Lost Summer is a poignant and powerful song that captures the emotions of someone struggling to come to grips with change and loss. The lyrics are simple yet evocative, and the melody builds to a climax that underscores the emotion embodied in the song.

I felt new strange weather
I experienced a change in my life that brought unfamiliar circumstances
I felt a place changing inside
I sensed a transformation within myself
I know I've been down
I recognize that I've been unhappy
I missed out
I failed to take advantage of an opportunity
Clouds in my sky
My life has become gloomy and uncertain
Where are all the sons of flaming June
What happened to the joyful activities of summer
A life along an easy afternoon
An enjoyable, carefree time of day that no longer exists
Let these shadows come so quickly
The darkness and uncertainty arrived unexpectedly
Things don't touch me anymore
I am no longer moved or affected by the world around me
Waiting while the hours are waiting
Time is standing still and I'm just waiting for something to happen
Is this the calm before my storm
Am I experiencing a lull in the chaos and uncertainty of life, or is this just the beginning?
I don't know
Where my summer's gone
Gone
Away
I am unaware of where my happy, carefree summer went, and it seems to have disappeared suddenly and permanently
Lost summer
My summer is gone and I can't seem to find it

Lyrics:
I feel new, strange weather
I feel things changing inside
I know I've been better
Are these dark clouds in my sky?
I don't know
Where my summer's gone
Gone, away
I don't know
Where my summer's gone
It's gone, it's gone, it's gone
(Lost summer)
Where are all the suns of flaming June?
And life, a long and easy afternoon?
Lately shadows come so quickly
Things don't touch me anymore
Wait and while the hours away
Is this the calm before my storm?
I don't know
Where my summer's gone
It's gone, it's gone, it's gone
I don't know
Where my summer's gone
It's gone, it's gone, it's gone

When I listened to this and my summer was fading it was such a nice goodbye to the times with my friends and back to school
