Having some fun on a new song. After "These Voices in my Head", needed to do something a little more lighthearted.

Come April  				c. 2020 by M. A. Manetz

V1
On these four gray walls I've painted her picture with my mind.
Holdin' her in my dreams the only comfort I can find.
One more lonely winter in this cold and lonely place.
The only thing that's kept me sane is the memory of her face.

Chorus
Come April, I'll make it better,
Come April, it'll be so fine.
Come April, I'll make it up to her,
Come April, she'll be mine.

V2
Six months in this prison, six months till I'm free,
Six months since her last letter, does she still care for me?
My brother came to see me, said she's movin' to L.A.,
I tell myself come April, I'll find a way to make her stay.

Chorus

Bridge
Am I a fool to think that she would ever wait for me?
I don't blame her for leavin', but yet I still believe...

Chorus

"A musical vision of Autumn, a time of year when change is in the air. Mellow days and vivid colours give way to darker nights, rain storms and misty mornings. As the season moves on, a hint of Winter arrives with colder nights and frosty mornings"

Description

Autumn, finds me trying to express, in music, my feelings about this season. Below is a attempt at doing this in words too. This is the second of hopefully four orchestral pieces that describe the four temperate seasons of the year.

Autumn
The majesty of Summer has now faded. Leaves, once so green, now a myriad of fading colours as Mother Nature withdraws her life-giving hand.

The weather is changing too. Strong winds and blustery days jostle with times of calm reflection, as you take a little wander through the woods.

The squirrels are busy, as are the birds, as some prepare for darker times whilst others set forth on their migrant flights.

For Autumn knows, whilst man often forgets, that change is in the air.

Variety was the key to this piece with it almost compartmentalised into different sections to reflect this changeable season.

The initial section what I call 'the walk in the woods section' depicts the fading grandeur of Autumn before moving into a time of relative calm. This is followed suddenly by a storm section featuring a vocal line as the wind, pizzicato strings as the rain and timpani and brass as the thunder. The final section is almost melancholic, reflecting the withdrawal of nature before dying down to a misty stillness with a hint of Winter just around the corner. In fact the end section features a motif from my piece Winter so it acts as a bridge to that piece.

LYRICS:
As I Look Out My Window

As I look out my window, I see a sky so blue
The clouds like angel’s pillows, God’s gift for me to view
And as I sit in wonder, I finally see the truth

As I look out my window, I’m looking up into
The eyes of love and heaven, and all I see is you

So many times I sat there, and watched the world go past
But nothing seemed to matter, from this side of the glass
But you looked back and found me, and I could see at last

As I look out my window, I’m looking up into
The eyes of love and heaven, girl, and all I see is you
All I see is you..
(I see forever when I look at you)
You know who i’m talking to girl..

(solo)

Now my window’s open, and I see it all so clear
God’s not just in heaven, since He brought you to me here
And here you stay beside me, and heaven’s so much nearer

As I look out my window, I’m looking up into
The eyes of love and heaven, and all I see is you

All my life’s an open window, every day is new
And I can see forever, now that I have you
Now that I have you
All I see is you
