Autumn is approaching,What's your Favorite Autumn Song?
I love Autumn,the turning of the Leaves,the chill in the air.
What's your Favorite Autumn Song?
Theme from Summer Place.
I was unaware of that.
This one is explicitly critical of one of the New Deal's major programs, the Works Progress Administration (WPA). It is said that Glenn Miller wanted to record it, but the musicians' union wouldn't allow it.
WPA--Skeets Tolbert & His Gentlemen of Swing (1940)
Theme from “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown”.
Nat King Cole - ‘tis Autumn
I love that one also!
I hadn’t seen that clip. Axl’s voice wasn’t as strong as in the past but that isn’t unexpected. The studio version of that song is remarkable.
What’s the difference between “autumn” and “fall”?
English vs American

My favorite Sinatra song. Very haunting and so descriptive. You can vividly imagine everything he is singing about.
Wow...had not heard of that quartet before. That is wonderful. Just added to my “must buy” list. Thanks.
Pretty.
The melody was originally written by Jeff Wayne for a Lego commercial. His original occupation was a jingle writer. The performers added lyrics and released the first version in 1972:

I like that one too.
Great song.
Iron-clad feather feet pounding the dust,
An October's day towards evening,
Sweat embossed veins standing proud to the plow
Salt on a deep chest seasoning
Standing like tanks on the brow of the hill,
Up into the cold wind facing
In stiff battle harness chained to the world
Against the low sun racing
Bring me a wheel of oaken wood
A rein of polished leather
A heavy horse and a tumbling sky
Brewing heavy weather.
