25 - Oh Simple Thing, Where Have you Gone?

Due to not feeling well, today's post is late, and quite short.  Tomorrows should be back, up to snuff, as they say.

Does any one really say that any more?

Well, if they don't, I'm taking it back.  So for now, our 25th Song of Autumn...


Song 25/Day 25
        "Somewhere Only We Know" from the album Somewhere Only We Know by Keane.

I don't remember when I first came across this song.  I think it was in circulation on MTV, or VH1 or something that showed videos.  I remember thinking it was a bit mellow...and I liked it.  The piano was a nice touch with the other instruments.  Once again, it's another band that I've not explored much at all.

The reason it makes me think of Autumn, is that it still has a vibrancy and life to it, but it's a slower spirited song.  The visuals built into the lyrics are fantastic.  They go right along with many of the other songs I've posted already.  A traveler seeing the land around him.  I really like these lines:

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Of course the whole tie to love and dreams (haven't touched too much on dreams yet...) but they really evoke the spirit of this season for me.

So, I'll leave today's quick post at that.  Check the link in the album listing up above.
