When October Goes

When October Goes

This modern day jazz classic written by Barry Manilow using the lyrics of Johnny Mercer is paired with the timeless Autumn Leaves, also a Mercer lyric with music by Joseph Kosma. This arrangement is respectful of both songs, weaving them together to sing a message of loving someone who's gone as well as growing older and remembering days past. Breathtaking!
