Day 28: A song that reminds you of summer

Since @Mr_bogey and @vagrantx took my first choice (and I don't want to make it a third cover day) I went with the Aces. This just feels Summer to me.

Great opening riff, outstanding bass line, piercing lyrics.

"On a beautiful Sunday
We're laying in sun rays
She's wearing my beat-up jean jacket so damn well
One swipe of a finger
She leaves and I linger
She's killing me with desire for someone else"


"Girls Make Me Wanna Die," The Aces.

Day 29: A song that reminds you of fall

Autumn is for moodiness and spookiness. I'm surprising myself a bit with this decision but I'm not going down the spooky road. I just really love Dido.

Day 29: A song that reminds you of fall

Afternoon, walking along Alameda Street in Northeast Portland. Worn sidewalk and old, expensive houses, quirky and homey at the same time. The sun, warm in the cool air, dappling the street with light from between the leaves, reddening and soon to fall. That is autumn in Portland.

My favorite part of this song, Elliot at his more clever, happens at the chorus. The chord progression of the chorus ends on a C and the chord progression of the verse starts on a Cmaj7, but Elliot starts the second verse early, effectively cutting the chorus one chord short. It happens at about the 1:30 point of the clip below. It is jarring, and sounds like a skip on an old turntable, like it was a mistake. But it isn't a mistake, it is perfectly on purpose. Listen to the lyrics of the chorus:

"For your own protection over their affection
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own 'cause you can't finish what you start"

The next verse breaks the word "start." So "you can't finish what you start" never gets finished.

God, I miss Elliot Smith...

"Alameda," Elliot Smith

(If you're alone, it must be you that wants to be apart)

Day 29: A song that reminds you of Autumn

Autumn is one of the most beautiful words in the English language...
So much so that I think it's a shame to call it Fall.

soft spoken with a broken jaw
step outside but not to brawl, and
autumn's sweet, we call it fall
i'll make it to the moon if i have to crawl, and...

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Scar Tissue

No.

Maybe it's because I'm already signed in. Lol

Day 29: A song that reminds you of Autumn

I remember as a kid going to a funeral in Autumn and they played this song. Haven't been able to shake the association but honestly, that's fine, because I think every funeral should feature a screeching guitar solo and a cinematic video that goes way, way too long.

I do not get that error either. I have moved my VPN around a few times to see if it was regional, but still not.

Are you entirely sure you aren't AI?

One of the morning show hosts I listened to for most of my life always played this song despite much pushback from everyone else on the show. Can’t help it. It’s part of the season forever.

Autumn is not my season. Any plant that cannot survive the winter dies. The world loses colour as we shift further from the warmth of the sun. My world begins it's decent into the dark and cold places; it's a slow agony with only one outcome
