One of the things that has always fascinated me the most about music is it's relationship with time, rhythmic meters in particular. I have marveled at musicians who are able to integrate odd meters into their tunes in a way that doesn't feel out of character. I am particularly fond of this tune as a composition simply because I was able to compose a melody that integrates a set of mixed rhythmic meters without making it feel overly contrived. This tune plays through my head quite often. The title comes from the sense of resentment that I had always felt towards fall when it rolled around because school was starting and winter was around the corner. As I became older, I realized that it wasn't autumn's fault that I had feelings of resentment.
