Autumn is my favorite season, and October is my favorite month, in terms of weather and foliage. It's difficult for me to see this season in a wistful light. However, I know some people view Autumn as a season of loss. In that light, then, I respect the lyrics of the Johnny Mercer-penned tune, "Autumn Leaves."
Last night, I listened to a cover of "Autumn Leaves" I hadn't heard in a while. Madeline MacNeil's vocals convey the tune's melancholy feel effectively without wallowing in sadness.
If you're going to sing about how Autumn challenges you, I suppose that's how you do it.
