It's Autumn

Happy Friday, folks! It's video time. This week I bring you a Jordan Powell original song called The Fall. I wrote it, played the piano, and sang the vocals (hence why it is *cough* not the greatest). You might well ask yourself: what does it mean? It's basically about autumn, and how it makes me nostalgic to no end. Other than that, it's open to interpretation.

The Fall lyrics:

It's autumn
So many thoughts come
They snow down around me
Like brittle, parched leaves
It's cold out
And so I hold out
My hands to the fire
Of all that my little heart believes

I'm falling
(You're following)
We're falling
Into the past
It's cold here
(But bright and clear)
And all the tears fall up
As I duck
Into the past

I called ya
Head full of nostalgia
And we lost ourselves in things
That we'd proven good
It was cold there
But all the old cares
Had toppled and now only
All the pleasant things stood

I'm falling
(You're following)
We're falling
Into the past
It's cold here
(But bright and clear)
And all the tears fall up
As I duck
Into the past

This autumn air takes me somewhere else
It smells like memories and years gone by
Hot chocolate and fire places add their spells
And the tears fall up into the sky

It's cold out
And so I hold out
My hands to the fire
Of all that my little heart believes
