Frank Sinatra–despite the countless notable musical artists out there–is and always will be, the epitome of fall and winter. Every note, vocal, and tune fit perfectly into an atmosphere that surrounds us all towards the end of the year; a time of rainstorms, heavy winds, and quiet excitement for the year to come to an end.
Admittedly, I don’t know all his songs, nor do I know them by heart. Yet, his music stands out to me every time it plays because the modern music produced today lacks the depth and warmth embedded in every second of his songs. A trend I struggled to see until I began to listen to older musicians like Elvis Presley. Reverting to the calming simplicity of Frank Sinatra’s time allows me to slow down and enjoy what’s around me, something I think we all need–especially in the fall and winter.
