Liner Notes

#singersongwriter #melancholy #challenge #seasons This is a quick take, as I'm very late to the party. Only able to start writing today after having some time away. Anyway, here's my first effort for the second sprint.

Lyrics

And the seasons change like they do every year And we look to the skies See the sun disappear We say it’s hotter than hell, but it’s windier as well And the seasons change, like they do each year

And the seasons change, just like they always do And we look to our phones, before we trust our own eyes Before we look out the window, we check percentages of rain And we’re often mislead, but still we do it again, do it again

And the seasons change, some people long for the summer Others look to the autumn, Others worship the wintertime Nothing ever stays the same, it gives our lives more colour Every season is the best one, at least for some

And the seasons change like they do every year And we look to the skies See the sun disappear We say it’s hotter than hell, but much wetter as well And the seasons change, like they do

That gentle guitar is the perfect accompaniment to this; I suspect this is the quiet time between blistering heatwaves in the summer and blowing a hoolie all winter...

This is so beautiful! This has always been my favorite time of year whether Southern California, Portland, Silicon Valley, Las Vegas or Florida. I think it all harkens back to the traditional start of school after Labor Day. A new start, the weather cools but dry and sunny in Oregon in October. The smell of the print shop in junior high that followed me for many years working in publishing.

There is such a sweetness to the melancholy of this song -- really gorgeous work as always!
