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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

It is out of competition, but I recorded this one last year. It is called "Oktober" (October)



Lyrics:
It really started with three small words
dexterously designed to cross my path
Everything was under control
no more no less
But the stormy weather that followed
no one could prevent it
And you were a blind passenger on the ferry
that always bumps into my quay
So who is affected by the collision?
You too

On the way towards the city your lecture begins
And I do my best to listen to your song
The melody that you sing
doesn't have many notes
I may feel the rhythm
but I have no illusions
For when the song has finished
you have blocked my bypass
So who gets caught in the traffic?
I do

As always I thought I was on to something
But before I found out what it was, the night came
And when the day comes
with the next harmonization
I may see the light
in your light regulation
But we'll have the lamps switched off
before the day is over
So who is really in charge?
We are

Beautiful song, I like the melody and the tone, the mood, which I vaguely associate with the soloist Syd Barrett, but in a more peaceful way. The vocals, however, are very original, thanks also to the Danish.

@ Anders
I was aware of yout October song but without understanding what it was about. Beautiful lyrics indeed but bittersweet, too.

Yeah, sorry. I’ve been following, but not has a chance to listen to anything yet. I’m going by the theory that if I don’t have time to listen to the other submissions, I shouldn’t make one of my own, as most of the enjoyment from these interactive polls is (duh!) the interactivity. If this round is being stretched out, that would probably work for me, and I will see what I can do about listening to the submissions so far, and adding my own.

I don't think the great Mick Karn has ever appeared in one of these polls, but he has The Sad Velvet Breath of Summer and Winter. It's somewhat atypical for him - he is famous as a bass player (Japan), and there's hardly any bass here, but it's wonderful anyway.
