Magic World

Magic World
Current mood: jubilant

Ooooooh, I just love these mornings where I wake up, look out the window, and see the city covered in fog and mist! I get this strange, magical, medieval feeling when the skyscrapers are covered in fog and the car lights are just dots moving through mist.

I'm always wistful at the passing of summer into fall, but it's mornings like these that remind me all seasons are special. Lyrics from the song "Season Cycle" by one of my favorite bands, XTC, pop into my head:

"Season Cycle"

Season cycle moving round and round
Pushing life up from a cold dead ground
It's growing green
It's growing green, well
Darling don't you ever stop to wonder
About the clouds about the hail and thunder
'Bout the baby and its umbilical
Who's pushing the pedals on the season cycle?

Summer chased by Autumn
Autumn chased by Winter
(season cycle go from death to life)
Winter chased by Springtime
(bring a harvest or a man his wife)
Springtime's turning
(it's growing green, it's growing green, well)
Darling, don't you ever sit and ponder
(darling did you ever think)
About the building of the hills a yonder
(all this life stuff's closely linked)
Where we're going in this verdant spiral
Who's pushing the pedals on the season cycle?
Round and round and round and round

I really get confused on who would make all this
(is there a God in Heaven)
Everybody says join our religion get to Heaven
I say no thanks why bless my soul
I'm already there!

Autumn is Royal
As Spring is clown
But to repaint Summer
They're closing Winter down

(Music and Lyrics by Andy Partridge)
