Autumn leaves

Post by Tchocolatl »

Boss' post directed me toward the idea of "season songs" and how the particular light of fall is charged of nostalgia - contained the essence of whatever ends or ended.

So I thought : why not the complete weather report? he? With the Cole, father & daugther. Now their virtual duet of Unforgettable is a perfect winter song to me. But wait - a little, it will come in time. Hear this for now, and breath the sweet scent of autumn air.

For some reasons this autumn song haunts me. There is a lot of versions, I cling to the ones who were significant to me in a way or another. Here is one version by the firt artist I heard sing it. A first time is always printed in memory.

It is rather bizarre that I am "going there" as the more I grow old the less I am nostalgic.

Is it because there is more and more packages in the luggages as time passes, and this became too heavy to carry around and move on? Quoi qu'il en soit, I prefer reduce complexed composed emotions associated with nostalgia to a raw sadness, to compost it and grow many other kind of living segments of life on all this. Is it time passing that allows this? Or is it that I built a stronger mind with appropriate exercises during all those years, moderately but steadily? I tend to believe in the second proposition.

Enjoy the beautiful atmosphere of the song!
