Alright I thought I would throw this out there since we all know there are many songs of the Carpenters that remind us of Christmas. But since its lovely Autumn season these next 3 months I wonder if there are any songs of the Carpenters that you think about during Autumn or this season more than spring and summer.

So far, I know its Aurora..... with the imagery

"hidden by the window pane, all my sadness..."
"patterns of another day awaken slowly out of gray"
"a tolling bell"
"its calling all my dreams away"

Just makes me think of a rainy, fall morning with gray skies, some colored leaves on the ground... it just has this haunting feeling, melody, lyrics and Karen's vocals! Beautiful.

Any others?

Nicely hijacked from Chris, Leanne . Of course the first song is the one that mentions autumn, but here would be some of mine, they're just songs that remind me of the turn of the season from summer to a slightly more depressing one, in much the same way as the theme of these songs goes, the turn of a relationship from sweeet to sour.

Some of mine would be:

Where Do I Go From Here?
When It's Gone (It's Just Gone)
Little Girl Blue
At The End Of The Song
Your Baby Doesn't Love You Anymore (a desperate choice for a single I always thought)
One More Time
Tryin' To Get The Feeling Again
This Masquerade

Stephen

Those are some good ones, Stephen. I had forgotten that "At the End of a Song" reminds me of Autumn, but then that's another album that was released at that time of year so it tends to remind me of cool weather.

A Song For You
This Masquerade
Now


I used to think that "A Song For You" was recorded just before Karen died - it was only after I found it on the same titled album released in 1972 that I found out I was wrong!

Eve
Crescent Noon
Where Do I Go From Here?

Sakura

I would have to agree with all songs that were listed. This makes me want to make a Carpenters "Autumn" Mix now... great idea guys!!!

I Need To Be In Love

Oh yes, "Crescent Noon" ! Great one for Autumn, Sakura.

I don't think I could handle that, I'd be crying into my headphones

Another one or two (OK, FOUNR!) to add to the collection (I keep thinking of these as I go )

Ordinary Fool
Those Good Old Dreams
Superstar
Rainy Days and Mondays

Now you're just padding the list out Simon, that song is Spring at the very least, if not Summer

You think Simon is padding now, Stephen?

I have to agree with him about "Ordinary Fool" though.

Chris

Here are three more for Autumn:

Sailing On the Tide
Beechwood 4-5789
Please Mr. Postman

Crescent Noon reminds me more of Winter. So does Maybe It's You. Sailing on the Tide seems Summerish to me.

For Autumn, I'd say I Just Fall in Love Again.

I dont really have songs that remind of me Autumn. Maybe just Halloween songs/sounds. LOL

Oh yeah, that reminds me of the Halloween skin!!
