Strawbs – Hero and Heroine: You know how when summer changes into autumn and the temperature one day suddenly drops? It’s such a startling occurrence, every year, heralding darkness and the quiet of a world soon to be blanketed in snow. But not quite. After that initial temperature drop, the days actually grow warm again for a short time, summer’s last gasp before finally giving way. That’s what this music sounds like.
