“August Came and Went” is a quiet reflection on time, absence, and acceptance. Carl Hashmi delivers a stripped-back, melancholic ballad that lingers like a passing season — soft, honest, and hauntingly familiar.
In “August Came and Went” Carl Hashmi offers a deeply personal meditation on the quiet passage of time — the kind of time that doesn’t announce itself, but slips by with a nod and a shadow. Framed by gentle piano, ambient textures, and stripped-down vocals, the song captures the ache of uncelebrated moments and unanswered questions.
Written and produced by Carl Wali Hashmi, it speaks to anyone who’s ever watched another year turn without a witness.
There is no bitterness in the silence here — only honesty, and the quiet resilience of someone who has stayed true to himself, even when no one was watching.
