Autumn In The Archipelago - 12/26/13 10:45 PM
Hi, friends !
I thought you might find this song interesting
as it depicts the arriving of an ordinary autumn
up here in the North ! Especially as the one we have
experienced so far is far from ordinary,as we have not yet
seen a single snowflake and the sea is still open.....
but, .....wait till jan/feb arrives....that is usually
the coldest period up here ! This song was on my 92
record at that time sung with my trio in the original
language (swedish) ! This translation is thus just
a plain translation without rhyme as I think it was
necessary to give the listener a clue to what was going
on and why the melancholic melody and chords.

Style: PFPBTSW.STY Slow Pop Waltz 2 finger Pk guits (85 RS)
Recorded thru zoom h4n and Focusrite 2i2 to Mixcraft 6 on
my laptop.
Here is the translation:
Leaves they keep falling, and frost lays itself
over islands and isles, it is autumn arriving
Boats are no longer, being seen on the bayou
they´re sleeping so well, under storm stricken shelters
autumn is here once again
and the islands have started their winter´s sleep
swept in a blanket of snow, islands alone
Birds they have all fled, to still warmer countries
and squirrels will change to a fur coat of silver
Alone lay my islands awaiting in silence
till life will awake them when spring is a-rising
autumn is here once again
and the islands have started their winter´s sleep
swept in a blanket of snow, islands alone
