Το φθινόπωρο είναι εδώ για τα καλά...

... και καιρικά πλέον εδώ και 2 μέρες! Και το υποδεχόμαστε με 3x2 τραγούδια, δύο για κάθε μήνα:

Αρχίζουμε φυσικά με τον Σεπτέμβριο, τον μήνα που διανύουμε και που θα αποχαιρετήσουμε σε μερικές ημέρες.

Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends



Lyrics:

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my father's come to pass
twenty years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends

Ας μην ξεχνάμε όμως τους θρυλικό disco συγκρότημα Earth, Wind & Fire με το September που ξαναχορέψαμε πριν μερικά χρόνια, και συγκεκριμένα το 1999, στο πολύ πετυχημένο remix που έκαναν οι Phats & Small!!

Earth, Wind & Fire - September '99 (Phats & Small Remix)

Lyrics:

Do you remember the 21st night of september?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in september
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember how we knew love was here to stay

Now december found the love that we shared in september.
Only blue talk and love,
Remember the true love we share today

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in september
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in september
Ba de ya - golden dreams were shiny days

Και περνάμε αισίως στον Οκτώβριο, τον μήνα που θα υποδεχτούμε σε 9 μερούλες. Και εδώ έχουμε δύο τραγούδια από δύο πολύ αξιόλογα ονόματα...

Ξεκινάμε με την τραγουδίστρια των Cranberries που τα τελευταία χρόνια ακολουθεί σόλο καριέρα:

Dolores O'Riordan - October

Lyrics:

October, October
The summer is over
I'm going through changes
I see you again

It's so thought provoking
Emotion evoking
I can't turn around
I don't want to pretend

You stand in my way
With nothing to say
You think you're the world
I'm so lost without you
I'm sorry my friend
This is not the end
I'll do it without you
I'll do it again

October, October
The summer is over
I'm moving in circles
I'm trying to come in

It's my evolution
The only solution
The torment it's all that
I'm holding within

You stand in my way
With nothing to say
You think you're the world
I'm so lost without you
I'm sorry my friend
This is not the end
I'll do it without you
I'll do it again

You stand in my way
You've nothing to say
You think you're the world
I'm so lost without you
I'm sorry my friend
This is not the end
I'll do it without you
I'll do it again

Don't stand in my way
With nothing to say
And think you're the world
I'm so lost without you
I'm sorry my friend
This is not the end
I'll do it without you
I'll do it again

Αλλά και οι Evanescence έχουν ένα ομότιτλο τραγούδι, αν και μέσα στους στίχους δεν αναφέρεται ο μήνας...

Evanescence - October



Lyrics:

I can't run anymore,
I fall before you,
Here I am,
I have nothing left,
Though I've tried to forget,
You're all that I am,
Take me home,
I'm through fighting it,
Broken,
Lifeless,
I give up,
You're my only strength,
Without you,
I can't go on,
Anymore,
Ever again.

My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love.

I can't run anymore,
I give myself to you,
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry,
In all my bitterness,
I ignored,
All that's real and true,
All I need is you,
When night falls on me,
I'll not close my eyes,
I'm too alive,
And you're too strong,
I can't lie anymore,
I fall down before you,
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.

My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love.

Constantly ignoring,
The pain consuming me,
But this time it's cut too deep,
I'll never stray again.

My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love,
My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love.

Και περνάμε στον τελευταίο μήνα του φθινοπώρου, τον Νοέμβριο. Φυσικά υπέρτατο και διαχρονικό τραγούδι για τον μήνα αυτό είναι το November Rain των Guns'N'Roses!!!

Guns'n'Roses - November Rain



Lyrics:

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

Nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain

But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If we could take the time
to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my
own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
Nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one



Και το τελευταίο για τον Νοέμβριο...

Emerson Drive - November



Lyrics:

She was sittin' on a park bench
Feedin' pigeons on Beacon Hill
I was takin' my dog Jack out for a run
We had a little time to kill

I still don't know if it was Jack or me
That somehow caught her eye
But the next thing I knew we were sittin' there talkin'
Laughin' into the night

And from that moment on
She never left my side
Those autumn nights were long
She was the first love of my life

Chorus:
I still can feel the softness of her hair
Fallin' on my face
My arms all around her
There's always somethin' 'bout this time of year
That takes me to that place
And I remember
(Yes, I remember)
November
Oh yeah

She was workin' her way through school
Waitin' tables at the Hungry Eye
I was playin' a club down on the waterfront
Afterward she'd come by

Around 3 AM we'd grab some takeout
In the heart of Chinatown
And we'd hang out and stay up all night long
Just talkin' and messin' around

I never would have dreamed
We'd ever say goodbye
She felt like the sun to me
On those cold November nights

(Repeat chorus)

Lookin' back I can't explain
What happened on that dark December day
I guess we were just two kids
Going different ways

Και πριν κλείσω αυτό το ποστ θέλω να βάλω άλλο ένα τελευταίο τραγούδι που αγαπώ πολύ και αναφέρεται γενικά στο φθινόπωρο:

Coldcut - Autumn Leaves (Irresistable Force Mix Trip 2)



Lyrics:

But I miss you most of all, my darling,
But I miss you most of all, my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall.

Και για όσους προτιμούν τις αυθεντικές εκτελέσεις, ορίστε και η original version:



Lyrics:

Autumn leaves fall and are swept out of sight,
The words that you said have come true.
Autumn leaves fall and are swept out of sight,
So is the memory of love that we knew.

The wind of forgetfullness blows them
Into the night of regret.
The song we so often did sing,
Is echoing echoing yet.

The falling leaves,
Drift by the window.
The autumn leaves of red and gold.
I see your lips,
The summer kisses,
The sunburned hands I used to hold.

Since you went away,
The days grow long,
And soon I'll hear cold winter song.
But I miss you most of all, my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall.


Enjoy! :)
