From late September, October and November the leaves start to change colour and fall in abundance on the earthy ground. Green, brown, red, yellow, orange, gold; chase one and somehow you can catch the hue you're seeking.
Living in the tropics, I miss these 3 months, having lived in Canada for some years. This is the period when ''autumn leaves start to fall, [J. Kosma/1945]'' rustling and crisp; the wind is usually chilly and often times gusty...
Thanks Andy For a well-annotated posting. Your lyrics quotes are detailed with proper composers' names. Some of the songs never hit the number one spots. It's a pity but nevertheless, they are memorable August/October tunes.
Thanks SUITUAPUI I have included HARDY's song on the list. Yes, it's lovely and I am not aware. She's sweet too with IWAOF. A meaningful song indeed...
Appreciate your visit on this blog time and again. And to others too who wrote in. THANKS.
Enjoyed the blog, and thank you for your kindness in dedicating it to us and others in Winnipeg... such a surprise, and very sweet of you. Listening to Nat King Cole singing "Autumn Leaves" is so very lovely. :-)
Autumn is also my favourite season. In terms of leaves changing colour and falling, that came very early here this year, due to extreme heat and extreme drought in the summer, which weakened the trees.
But... we have also had record high temperatures the past several weeks, and our garden is actually producing new flowers! In October! It is Thanksgiving weekend here.
Always a pleasure to hear from you. With best wishes to you...
Koh Daisy Heard Autumn Leaves since young… Natalie’s dad sang it too. Loved it … at least know one Oct song. 🤣 Find it very nostalgic and melancholic … autumn leaves 🍁 reminds you that the year is soon coming to an end …just like life … unless you get a second spring 🤣🤣🤣
Andy Young Koh Daisy hello. Yes, an end to life; "unless you get a second spring." Thanks Daisy... that's a really lovely thought. We all hope so. 🙂
Colin Colin Local band October Cherries 🍒 can count or not? 🤭😅

Li Caroline I see that you often appear on my friend recommendation list, so I came in to take a look. The posts are very good. Do you mind having more new friends?
Andy Young Li Caroline you are always welcome to write in about our music topics. Cheers!
Fred Ching Thanks for taking time for this reminder that we’re already in the month of October, Brother Andy. Love this jazzy and cool classic from Van Morrison. I was 14, when I heard it for the first time.. absolutely great lyrics..
Well it’s a marvellous night for a moon dance.. With the stars up above in your eyes.. A fantabulous night to make romance.. ‘Neath the cover of OCTOBER skies. Wow, indeed timeless. When musicians were talented and wrote beautiful songs that will stand the test of time forever.
Andy Young Fred Ching hi again! You know your lyrics well, my friend. Keep it going. Anytime you feel like writing for the blog just send it through the grape vine... if possible with pictures. I checked your connection. Great !!! October is indeed appropriate for a Moondance.

Freda hi,
ReplyDeleteThanks that you like the NAT KING COLE number.
I learnt it as a teen, oooh so long ago and it's still popular today.
THANKS TO OTHERS WHO COMMENTED ON THIS AUTUMN POSTING.
HAVE A COOL BREEZE BLOWING IN YOUR DIRECTION.
Like Nat King Cole's Autumn Leaves. Still a popular number among some oldies during karaoke. Have a great Oct, Andy.

It may be too personal, but Abba's "Asta Manana" is the song that gives me autumn vibes the most.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting Hiroshi.
ReplyDeleteYes, the first line says
'Where is the Spring and the Summer
That was yours and mine...'
Definitely, Autumn time.
Lost love.
I love Autumn Rendezvous by Francoise Hardy, famous for her "If we are only friends". I love her "All over the world" too.
ReplyDeleteThanks SUITUAPUI
