"Indian Summer" is a single by The Dream Academy.

[edit] Examination of lyrics

The song is about reflecting on the past, especially with previous friendships and relationships. The scene of the song is set with a group friends on holiday who decide to stay during an Indian Summer. Critics had drawn many parallels with the song and their debut single "Life in a Northern Town", especially with the chant at the end of the song.[1]

[edit] Reception

The single received a good reception with good airplay on the radio,[citation needed] and the video was played regularly on VH1. Despite this, the single failed to chart, something that would plague the band's subsequent singles until they split up in 1991.
