Til Summer Comes Around

Urban releases his single, Til Summer Comes Around, from his album, Defying Gravity. Urban co-wrote the song with Monty Powell. Urban:

I had this idea about a theme park. For me, there’s something fascinating and deeply sad about theme parks in the wintertime when they’re shut down. I loved that metaphor. So I said to Monty that I wanted to write about a guy who meets a girl at a theme park. They have this brief fling and she says she’ll be back, so every year he’s still there waiting. ‘Longing’ is such a powerful feeling, and if you’re going to write about love, that’s a powerful way to get at it.
