Send "Autumn Leaves" Ringtone to Cell

The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Send "Autumn Leaves" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:Eva blows away the competition on this one. Starts on a subtle note, but after the break and the da capo she delivers the final two lines with an incredible energy without ever breaking into a "soul diva coloration mode" that is simply stunning.

    The last word breaks like a leaf in autumn from the branch of a tree.

    General Comment:For me, it tells of loss through death and the pain it brings with every autumn anniversary, the painful memories,dying leaves and the onset of winter all portraying someone in deep grief..

    My Interpretation:Brings a tear everytime I hear it. One of the best interpretations around. It is Eva singing to Eva.

    General Comment:It's Autumn, a whole continent away from him. The days grow long and my whole being aches. The simplicity of the song says so much. Beautiful but painful memories...

    General Comment:Its about an amzing summer, a summer two lovers shared but never thought they would. And how the other has selfishly left them. It's mourning for the times they shared, but knowing they will never come back. Its moving on, but one thing can bring so many memories. Like the leaves that seem to fall so soon each year.

    General Comment:this is about a death of someone loved, or perhaps a lost love. its one of the simplest songs, just guitar and vocal but it hits you hard. sends me sobbing as soon as "But I miss you most of all" kicks in. brilliant.
