Indian Summer
Glenn Miller
Written by Victor Herbert and Al Dubin.
As recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on November 5th, 1939 with Ray Eberle.
(The melody was actually written in 1919 as a piano piece subtitled "An American Idyll",
lyrics were added in 1939).
Summer, you old Indian Summer
Youre the tear that comes after June times laughter
You see so many dreams that dont come true
Dreams we fashioned when summertime was new
You are here to watch over
Some heart that is broken
By a word that somebody left unspoken
Youre the ghost of a romance in June
Going astray, fading too soon...
Thats why I say,
"Farewell to you, Indian Summer!"

Glenn Miller (1904-1944) was a celebrated American musician and arranger, considered one of the pioneers of swing jazz. Born into a musical family in Wisconsin, Miller began playing the trombone at a young age. After playing in several local orchestras, he formed his own orchestra in 1937, which quickly became a national phenomenon thanks to its innovative musical style and energetic performances. Miller was among the first to incorporate elements of classical music and pop into swing jazz, creating a distinctive and catchy sound. Among his most famous songs are "In the Mood", "Moonlight Serenade" and "String of Pearls". His orchestra recorded numerous successful albums and toured sold-out shows in the United States and Europe. Miller tragically disappeared in 1944 during a flight to England, leaving a huge void in the American music scene.
