Post by: me and my piano---tim on September 23, 2006, 02:07:00 pm: yep, gives me that feeling too. fantastic. probably just because I bought it in November, and the songs aren't exactly "summerish."
Title: Winter/Fall
Post by: liquidblue244 on September 24, 2006, 04:36:56 pm: I totally get a wintery, fall feel when I listen to Harmonium, which is great because Fall is approaching and this is the perfect time to listen to it!!! :)

Post by: samil87 on September 27, 2006, 03:09:24 pm: Yeah I totally agree though I think it has an autumn feel to it too or maybe like a progressive thing moving from the end of Summer or beginning of Autumn with White Houses to a beginning of Spring/April showers feel with She Floats. lol reading back that doesn't really make much sense, but I know what I mean...that's something...right? :?

Post by: VanessaPiana on October 05, 2006, 06:57:29 pm: I agree with the various opinions about the mood that HARMONIUM puts you guys in. Y'all read my mind. It brings me back to that time when I bought the album back in early 1/05. [I wanted to buy it Xmas Eve from Wal-Mart during the Xmas rush, but found I didn't have enough $$$; I guess it wasn't time. Embarrassed the hell outta me.] At first, I didn't like most of the songs, but I loved every song by the time I refunded it back @ Wal-Mart 3 weeks later [at the end of January] b/c I needed the money for something else. I didn't want to take it back, but had to. Moreover, her album got me the hard time I was going through then. But other than that, the album reminds me of mid-winter, when it's the coldest in my area and it snows. Her Sessions@AOL remind me of the fall. She should be releasing them soon if everything goes fine.

Post by: maag on October 12, 2006, 11:05:18 am: Harmonium makes me think of the winter, but not entirely, I mean, White houses is summerish. That's what I think 'cause I heard White houses for the first time at summer holidays, but songs like Afterglow or C'est la vie make me think of autumn.
Isn't the album a little depressing?

Yea it is kinda depressing. But also, the winter is kinda depressing. So is the album depressing because you listened to it during the winter, or is it just plain depressing? The reason I say that is because it's actually biologically unavoidable... seasonal affective disorder!

Post by: Ryou-Neko on October 16, 2006, 03:30:50 pm: As for what it makes me think of, I'd say autumn rather than winter. But as for reoccurring themes, winter, summer, blue and other colors, etc.

*and now to ruin the somewhat intellectual comment*

Post by: Star7 on October 18, 2006, 03:08:23 pm: I think it reminds me of the winter because if i really listen close it sounds like the first time i heard it and it was really cold here that day
