FTR is all summer to me, for a couple reasons. When my daughter was first born (in a New England June heatwave) the only way she would sleep was if I had her in the sling and paced around the front lawn singing "For The Roses", it's forever branded into my memory like that. But in general the entire album is summery to me, Barangrill, See You Sometime, Judgement of the Moon and Stars, all remind me of warm breezes thru summer screen doors, twilights at 8pm and open blue skies. Hejira, all winter, I think I am influenced by the cover motif and the serveral references to winter made in the lyrics. But the whole feeling of the album is winter, several songs make me think of shifting pond ice, frosted rooftops, silent snowfalls. Coyote is like the beginning of winter, being in denial of the cold's decent and wanting one last hoorah..all the songs that follow are the dead of winter, until Refuge, the entire song is like the feeling of spring on the horizon, the trickling of melting snow forming tiny streams. Ok enough out of me! I could go on, I am a big association person, songs and memories go hand in hand, they always bring me back to somewhere or someone.
