Fall is here! Well, almost here. Technically it arrives at 10:47AM Saturday morning (here in the northern hemisphere, anyway).
Fall means a lot of fun things for me. Boots, tights and other such things start coming out of the closets and into the world. The days are getting shorter and the night comes earlier, and makeup trends a little heaver because it can. All of the imagery of leaves falling and such make it my favorite time of year.
It also means I can start looking at sweaters in the closet knowing they will be coming out soon too.
The overall imagery of fall has taken on even more meaning now that I am a little older. I notice it more in music. Some of my favorite songs are about fall.
Chicane, one of the most extraordinary electronic music artists I have ever heard, has a fabulous song about the onset of fall called "Autumn Tactics". Without a doubt I will be listening to that over and over again this weekend. The Gorillaz have a moving and powerful song about the end of fall called "November Has Come". I will be listening to that today, too.
What are your feelings about fall? Do you love it? How does it affect your fem side? Does it bring it out more?
Oh, and what music do you like to listen to when you think of fall (or what music reminds you of fall)? I almost forgot to ask that!
I can see where some would dread it. I think most people like long days and short nights, I am wired a little differently and love long nights so my experience might be a lot different than most.
Love it or not, fall is definitely coming and there's nothing that can be done to stop it! Yay!
