Guys, as September winds down, and October is right around the cornor, autumn is indeed my favorite album listening season! Cooler days, cooler nights, overcast cloudy days, drizzle at times, and of course the brilliant fall colors in all 50 United States, Canada and Europe at this time of the year...
Thought it might be fun to list your FAVORITE autumn-themed songs or albums, you like?
What LPs have spectacular fall photos or art on it's covers?
I have a few in mind, but I thought I'll let you start this list of "MUST HEAR / HAVE AUTUMN SONGS / AUTUMN ALBUMS".
-or-
"Your favorite albums to rake leaves by"? ha ha!

"Some Folks Need An Education ... Don't Give Up Or We'll Lose The Nation" C. 1970 MARK FARNER of Grand Funk Railroad from "Sin's A Good Man's Brother"

Steely Dan/Greatest Hits with the timeles classic Black Friday:
"When Black Friday comes
I'll stand down by the door
And catch the grey men when they
Dive from the fourteenth floor"
"The torture never stops"Greetings Freek.
...finds itself gently juxtaposed between "Rock n Roll Boogie-Woogie Blues" and "We All Had a Real Good Time". Nice song, effective placement.
How old will I be before I come of age for you?
It's surprising to me that there are so many good recordings of this Mercer/Burns/Herman classic. I guess my favorite is Ella's from the Johnny Mercer Songbook.
SEPTEMBER OF MY YEARS - SINATRA
FALL mood !---Sorry, just thinking about how some parts of the country get to have all those awesome colors by nature and temps that indicate fall---and here in AZ we hit 105 2 days ago---The Fall Winds here have kicked in this past week, but it's like a convection oven sometimes!True Arizonans get caught driving with their A/C off (or broken, as in my case),windows down, that can bear the heat AND because they want to save on gas;They end up being half beet red and baked on the left side of their face,neck and arm (like me)LOL!...I don't tan---never have---I just get that 'ruddy complected' look.
Again, we don't have those 'purdy' fall colors---stuff from trees and plants just drops (lotta browns and yellows sometimes,lol)...
At Savers today for $1...Tijuana Christmas by Tijuana Brass---good stuff!
Btw, if you look carefully at the Tijuana Brass trumpet player's trumpet, he's blowing some Christmas glass ball ornaments---Gee, first time I ever saw a trumpet player blow his own----well, never mind...Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum or pa-dum-pum...
Cheers and Enjoy the Fall!
Matt
then when it gets a little colder, I bring out a-Ha 'Hunting high and low'
I don't read or speak much Italian and have never heard the lyrics translated but ... Impressioni di Settembre by Premiata Forneria Marconi.
Scott
from Sarah Vaughan's EmArcy album with Clifford Brown.
Autumn Leaves is another all-season favorite here, in its many versions aside from the one off "Somethin' Else", of course. My own special notice goes to the instrumental version by Peter Nordahl Trio...
As much as I love Sarah Vaughn's performance, there is nothing like Lotte Lenya's version (it was written by her husband, after all).
Lou Reed's is pretty good too.

.
The most underrated of their albums to be sure.
I also like "Come Saturday Morning" all versions. The movie seemed to take place in Autumn
Bare Trees by Fleetwood Mac. The them song is pretty good but it has one of my favorite FWM songs by bob welch (sentimental lady). It has an interesting poem that reflects your theme (thought for a grey day)

(:~)
One of my favorites too. Released in fall 1963, it brings that eara back to me. I was in 9th grade.
Always brings a lump into my throat.
Concise imagery - yes, it is sentimentalc as hell, but beautifully rendered and beautiful.
I could not resist posting the lyrics:
From the dew-soaked hedge creeps a crawly caterpillar,
When the dawn begins to crack.
Its all part of my autumn almanac.
Breeze blows leaves of a nasty coloured yellow,
So I sweep them in my sack.
Yes, yes, yes, its my autumn almanac.
Friday evenings, people get together,
Hiding from the weather.
Tea and toasted, buttered currant buns
Can't compensate for lack of sun,
Because the summers all gone.
La-la-la-la...
Oh, my poor rheumatic back
Yes, yes, yes, its my autumn almanac.
La-la-la-la...
Oh, my autumn almanac
Yes, yes, yes, its my autumn almanac.
I like my football on a saturday,
Roast beef on sundays, all right.
I go to Blackpool for my holidays,
Sit in the open sunlight.
This is my street, and Im never gonna to leave it,
And Im always gonna to stay here
If I live to be ninety-nine,
cause all the people I meet
Seem to come from my street
And I cant get away,
Because its calling me, (come on home)
Hear it calling me, (come on home)
After that, Kurt Weill's SEPTEMBER SONG for the flip side.
WELL....it's not exactly about fall....but it's weather related!!
Tom B.
A+ song from a "B" movie (The Oscar); Aguas de Marco, Jobim and Elis Regina (Summer in Brazil is December- March).
...from the "Hero and Heroine" LP. I know, it's a bit "on the nose" but that's the LP I play every Fall. Started back in school when it first came out in 1974.
Also "The Four Seasons"... again a bit "on the nose" but there you go. My favourite rendition is Renato Fasano conducting Virtuosi di Roma.
Particularly "October to May":
Summer's gone come chill October days
We will stroll through russet trees
Through the fallen leaves of oak and sycamore
That carpet earth through harsh December freeze.
Fireworks and children with eyes that sparkle bright
In November's Guy Fawkes flames
Parents thinking of their forgotten years
As they join in with their children's games.
December brings nostalgic Santa Claus
Toys and shining Christmas trees
Families huddled round their open fires
As they wait for winter's grip to ease.
Seaside piers, iron girders gaunt and still
Gone the crowds of yesterday
Icy fingers in the sea at night
Sad and empty tears the first of May.

"Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not" -- Samuel Johnson.
I always end up pulling out "Moon Dance" and playing it a lot. I have listened to it way too much over the years but it feels new again every fall. His "Back On Top" album from '99 is also a great fall album. Hell, anything from Van sounds pretty "spot on" during the change of seasons.
For some reason I also pull out "Goats Head Soup" from the Stones this time of year. I don't use dope , but I tend to work in the Grateful Dead as well, though they hardly ever hit the turntable other times of the year.
Autumn=Opiate? Go figure!
It's in Hebrew and it's called Ruach Stav ("Autumn Wind"). it's by Arik Einstein, the closest thing to a national folk singer they have in Israel. The original version has a haunting arrangement with accordion and spare harmony. It still gets to me. Here's my on-the-fly translation:
Ruach Stav
By Arik Einstein
Don’t be embarrassed, be sad.
Don’t be sorry if you’re sorry.
It’s that kind of season, pal,
It’s just the autumn and it passes.
Walk alone in the city night,
Look up, look for a star,
It’s all right—all right for a young man too
To be a bit of an old man in the autumn
CHORUS:
It’s just the fall, with the cloud
And with the howling wind,
And if you are just a cynic,
It still tugs at your heart.
In this kind of weather
You don’t say to a girl anymore,
“Hey babe, let’s dance,”
But “Look, autumn nights.”
You laugh: “What nonsense!"
You're annoyed--"What are you talking about!”
So why did you send a garland of autumn crocuses
to that girl the other day?
(chorus)
A tear—don’t be ashamed, my friend,
It won’t cause you any harm.
Say, “It’s just the rain and nothing more.”
But we both know what it is.
(chorus)
.
I have all of George Winston's Windham Hill LPs and they are all very good.

"Some Folks Need An Education ... Don't Give Up Or We'll Lose The Nation" C. 1970 MARK FARNER of Grand Funk Railroad from "Sin's A Good Man's Brother"
"(Theme From) Valley of The Dolls". A song about moving on, things ending or drawing to a close with an uncertain future. Autum is beautiful but at the same time a bit sad as the bright lights and colors of summer ebb.

Later Gator,
Crank up your talking machine, grab a jar of your favorite "kick-back", sit down, relax, and let the good times roll
I tend toward Celtic music in the Autumn. The season seems to match Any Stewart (the younger, member of Silly Wizard) and so I bring out Silly Wizard, also Steeleye Span and Clannad.
with "The Green Leaves of Summer" sung by the album's artist...Shelby Flynt.I can hear her sing it right now; she tore me up as an impressionable teenager. I was given the record, as I was already deeply interested in music, by a cousin, Barry Devorzon, the owner of Valiant records back then. I must have played that song especially, let alone the LP itself, a few hundred times.
Then it faded into obscurity as MY collection of records separated from my parents' and it was subsequently lost.
I wish I could remember to look in GEMM the next time I have the urge...I'd like to hear her voice again.
A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
The green leaves of summer
Are calling me home "
Twas so good to be young then
In the season of plenty
When the catfish were jumping
As high as the skyA time just for planting
A time just for ploughing
A time to be courting
A girl of your own "
Twas so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
And to stand by your wife
At the moment of birth, wo...A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
A time just for living
A place for to die "
Twas so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are calling me home "
Twas so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are calling me home
The world worked fine without computers. I don't think I did, but nothing I've seen determines that one way or the other.
Are you sure it is "Flynt" and not "Flint"? There is a singer named Shelby Flint...
(I barely remember the cover), then that's the artist.

It can't be too expensive...I hope.

hmmmmm.

Has that loss of summer - going back to school vibe. The music works great, too. I'm sorry, what was the question?
I'm a cold-weather person, love snow and cold temps. That Doors tune is always the first one that pops into my head this time of year.
