Finally, for spring:

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I've already covered summer and autumn. Here's winter:

Been busy and need to go back to the Road Trip. But, maybe will toss out a season at a time.

OK, in a small window of time I jump in and suggest a couple of instrumental seasonal tracks.
If I'm not back in time, the first one will be my nomination...

Agnes Obel - September Song:



Then one I have suggested before (but not nominated): The Durutti Column - A Sketch for Summer:



Also because it has it's counterpart: The Durutti Column - A Sketch for Winter:



And for the fun... This one could have been in the Road-Trip poll because it always reminds me of the trip back to our holiday house from a windsurfing afternoon on the Mediterranean Sea. I heard it on the car radio - it just came out and became a big hit.

Don Henley - The Boys of Summer:




The razamataz is a pain in the bum

They say spring is the time of renewal and new beginnings. Thus I decided to introduce to you a promising young French composer of contemporary classical music. Camille Pépin named composer of the year at the 2020 Victoires de la Musique Classique presents here The Sound of Trees, her double concerto for clarinet, cello and orchestra. I have selected here two movements as examples.- The seasons do not appear in the title of this work but what could better express the mood of the reawakening of nature than the forest and the trees themselves? Smile

Camille Pépin/Orchestre de Picardie: The Sound of Trees, mvt 1

Camille Pépin/Orchestre de Picardie: The Sound of Trees, mvt 4

Yet another Peter Hammill song, though it does have two seasons in one:

My selection:

1) Astor Piazzolla: Primavera Porteña




2) Paolo Fresu: Luce d'Autunno



--------

Out of competition:

I post another song by Guccini because I guess it cointains the most beautiful lyrics I ever heard. And the music is a whole with the lyrics.


3) Francesco Guccini: Autunno


A goose splashing in the mud
A dog that barks on command
The rain that falls and does not fall
The creeping mists that reveal and veil streets ...

Profile of dry trees
Cracking roaring of sticks
On the mountain sometimes the shots
And the unsuspecting animals fall screaming with death ..

Autumn makes you sleepy
Daylight is a moment
That bursts in and is fast gone
A lucid metaphor of what our life is

Autumn that blurs the edges
Consume several days in one day
It seems to you to be an indolent game
But it quickly burns days that appear sluggish

Smells of smoke and haze
Suburban slush
Expanses of rotten leaf
That falls in silence, leaving life forever ...

Lock yourself up in the house to wait
Someone or something to do
Something that will never be done
Someone you know doesn't exist and won't play ...

Lock yourself up in the house to count
The hours you slip
Thinking, confused, about the mystery
Of the many "I will be" forever become "I was" ...

Lock yourself up indoors to watch
A book, a photo, a newspaper
And ignoring that dull gnawing
That changes "I do" and makes it "I remember" ...

Night fell suddenly
There is a pierced darkness
From a fast-moving car
Leaving only his dark voice to silence ...

Noise that appears and disappears
Twilight image
Of your aimless running
Time playing with you like a cat plays with a mouse ...

Stories believed to be important
They crumble in a few moments
Past figures and impressions
They get far and away so is your summer

And dress the impending night
Letting your mind wander
At nothing feared and expected
Knowing this is your fall
Which has now arrived.




Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

I'm impressed that someone non-Finnish knows Kauko Röyhkä Clap I highly recommend his 80s and 90s albums. 

Thanks to Svart Records, I have been introduced to all sorts of interesting Finnish music. 🤗🖤

Here's some heavy, death and black metal because why not. Don't worry, I won't nominate any of these so you don't have to listen to them.

You should nominate and further participate when you have time. Smile

Oh, and maybe add some description how an interactive poll works to your opening post. Maybe we have new participants?

Yes, prog songs qualify, just not very famous songs. 
I'll edit my original post.

Cristi listed a PFM track, so I would expect that PA listed ones qualify (nor did Cristi question my choice when I said I plan to nominate a Comus song). Specifying the details does help instead of people inferring. I would think that unless PA included act's tracks are disqualified in the rules, then they are fine.

If you want to adapt this for the rules (but of course you could use your own, Cristi, from past ones):

1. Mention one or several songs/ tracks on the Seasons theme (they can be in or out of Prog Archives/ Prog and/or not Prog). Each mention should come with an embedded youtube video (or link if you are unable to do this) or say bandcamp choice with link if youtube does not have it.
2. By [insert date here] nominate one track as your choice for this theme.
3. On [insert date here] I plan to list all of the nominated music in the poll.
4. When music nominations are up in the poll, then one can vote. It is an expectation that all of the nominated choices will be or have been listened to before voting.
5. After listening to all of the choices, vote for three poll options not your own and mention those in a post.

Just to reiterate: By nominating a track, it is expected that one will listen to other people's nominations, vote for three of those not your own, and list those three in a post. Thanks for participating.

First thing that comes to mind is Stravisky's iconic Sacre du Printemps (Rite of Spring). This may be well known, but anyway... when I heard this for the first time, it opened a whole new world of music for me, and still it's ridiculously moving. Also I'm a fan of Pina Bausch's ballet, and here they do the opening of the Sacre.
