Beautiful song with the most haunting of endings I’ve ever heard
Sorry, my comment was in regards to ‘Fly’. Srill, great choice
You have killed me.
I find my My Autumn mood usually lifts on hearing The Fall, obviously.
The Stranglers – Golden Brown

I find my my autumn mood usually lifts on hearing The Moody Blues’ “Forever Autumn” because I love its eerie, crepescular quality.

My bad. Justin Hayward, not The MBs. It must be the time of year…
I had to look up crepuscular.
Wonderful word.
Recently rediscovered ‘baleful ‘, also very useful.
You know that old what’s your pórn name thing?
I heard a new twist on it the other day, your Victorian novel baddie name
It’s your grandads occupation and a word you know but never fully understand
Hi, I’m Mortician Vicissitude btw
On reflection, that was more interesting in my mind than written down….
No, no Mr B, it’s rather amusing.
Farmer Baleful (no pun intended) it is then.
Ganger Salubrious.
Naah
Customs Officer Hegemony here!
Heh heh. At least you can spell it…
What’s that disco September song?
I’ll use my mad google skillz.

Earth Wind and Fire?
That’s my frenzied, Sunday morning kitchen-dance music.
They did a deadly mashup with ozzy’s ‘ crazy train’ on here a while ago..
If can’t be Autumn Almanac itself, then it’s:

I love the season when the leaves start falling & the temperatures get cooler, but my Autumn mood lifts even further when I hear certain songs like this one, Across The Great Divide by Kate Wolf:

I find my My Autumn mood usually lifts on hearing these lads…

You should hear my Sigur Rós singing. Haunting is one word for it. Hljómalind is a particular favourite to warble.
I couldn’t listen to them anymore once I found out he was singing gibberish
I always get the words of sings wrung so it suits me.
They’re brilliant live.
Hard to argue though I also agree with Bertie
+ 1
Olympia show in mid 2000’s is top 5 for me.
I bet it’s like an angel purring.
I find my My Autumn mood usually lifts on hearing Jingle Bells
I find my autumn mood usually lifts on hearing Van Morrison’s Evening Meditation, from his Sense of Wonder album.
Something in it always brings to mind relaxing by a turf fire with a tipple after a day traipsing over crackling leaves with a refreshing bite in the air.
Of course, Van was no doubt meditating over far more exotic escapades when he wrote it…but it’s autumn to me

Van Morrison also has a song entitled Autumn sonf
I find my autumn mood lifts on hearing Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra singing Some Velvet Morning.

Superb choice.
There’s your winner, Bodger.
He’s entered twice. AHEM.
Unfortunately that means Otis is disqualified. Them’s the rules.
he’s made two nice calls though. I think he should win for that.
There are rules?
Not to worry. I’m only here to help.

I find my autumn mood lifts on hearing Aphrodite’s Child singing “Spring Summer Winter and Fall”, whose lyrics demonstrate some confusion about what order the seasons go in.

I find my My Autumn mood usually lifts on hearing King Harvest by the band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaKD1Vdarnw
I can clearly remember being handed that album going back to school, staring at the cover of ’em all wrapped up looking soaked and cold, then spending the next few months buying and listening to everything I could.
Trying to explain how cool the song structure of King Harvest was at a Halloween party was a downside. Especially considering my analysis was ” but it’s kinda backwards kinda in a way”.
What a band…
Marilyn Manson does it for me
I find my autumn mood lifts on hearing The Sailor’s Bonnet by The Gloaming.
Autumnal, majestic and possessed of a raw beauty. Irish too.
https://youtu.be/-w7cjXAtpJ4
Gosh. That is truly lovely.
yeah maybe. I’m ambivalent on the gloaming. Terribly cool or terribly naff? And iarla ó lionáird… I’m not gay but if I was I’d definitely give him one (or permit him to give me one, not sure how it would pan out)
Mmmmmmkay.
Relax Brother…
I used to feel the same way about Bowie.
I don’t anymore.
It’s allPeterGabriel for me these daze, but you cannot beat about the Kate Bush.
Don’t give up.
There’s a video about it.
Nah, I don’t have a thing for him or anything. there’d have to be a lot of drink taken. and even then it would depend on who else was around.
While I’m glad no-one nominated california dreaming, I’m surprised that raglan road didn’t get a look in so that’s my nomination. Luke Kelly, a summer of stalking and the chilly reality of a love gone cold as a corpse. Every sort of goose bump in one go.
Van’s Purple Heather is so autumnal it’s like “a horn-shaped basket jammed it with an insanely ornate assortment of shellacked vegetables”. And it comes right after a song called “Autumn Song”. And it starts with the line “Well the summertime has gone and the leaves are gently turning”. It’s decorative gourd season!

The cover of this album has previously stopped me from giving it a listen.
Excuse me…
Who sets the criteria for these, eh,.. ‘topics’?
I’m being serious, you keep pedalling backwards.
You can’t see…
You don’t look…
I’m drunk.
Feck off.
Competition is futile.
LOVE is EVERYTHING.
STFU.
