about
Quite accidentally, I carried last week's theme of the wind into this week's entry. The autumn transition is among the best represented subjects in my songs, and the wind is ever its herald. I couldn't help it.
Autumn is my favorite time of year. But while it can often be an optimistic transition, the fall also carries a hint of foreboding crackling around its edges. That foreboding is often a portent of challenges, trials, and changes. It can be natural this time of year to feel the change in the wind as a warning to brace oneself. I have written before of the value of partnership when facing the cold. This song speaks once again to that sentiment.
I think I should whistle more often. Truthfully, I whistle all the time, everywhere I go. I am unselfconscious about it in public. People look at me like a crazy person. I think that says more about them than it says about me. Still, I almost never record it. I think I could count on less than one hand the number of Everest tracks that make use of my whistle. I think I will work on changing that.

lyrics
And here you are
Your hand in my coat pocket
Warm in there
The stillness and the color
Wrap around you
You carry it
There's been a change in the wind
When autumn calls
Be brave enough to answer
Make eye contact
When winter swirls
Seek solace in my pocket
It's warm in there
There's been a change in the wind
Your hand in my coat pocket
Warm in there
The stillness and the color
Wrap around you
You carry it
There's been a change in the wind
When autumn calls
Be brave enough to answer
Make eye contact
When winter swirls
Seek solace in my pocket
It's warm in there
There's been a change in the wind
