In addition to the church year and the secular holiday calendar, I find myself listening to different music cyclically, based on the seasons. Come fall, I always turn on the Cranberries. Don't know why, it's a thing. Today I found Linger stuck in my head, and it occurred to me that it's September, even if Savannah's still hot and humid.
Fall in general has me nostalgic, and something about the 90s feels cold. Maybe it was all those denim jackets? There's something particularly aching about the Cranberries that seems autumnal.
This is one of my favorites. Don't you love the opening scene where she pops the CD in the walkman?
Maybe it's because cranberries are a Thanksgiving food?? ;-) For me, the Cranberries' "Dream" is the ultimate road trip song.
ReplyDeleteI have the same thing too with seasonal songs. All About Eve (a sort of indie/hippy group from England in the late 80s early 90s) always reminds me of autumn and winter. Perfect Day a cheesy song by Hoki from the film Legally Blonde reminds me of summer. Music is so evocative.
