Tears of Autumn Rain (4:12)

Tears of Autumn Rain: Eternal Tears of Sorrow, 2009; Children of the Dark Waters, Track 3 Soumen Musiikki; also single release; Written by Jarmo Kylmänen, Jarmo Puolakanaho, Altti Veteläinen

Interpretation by Terry Wilson (Featherwing Love)

The song appears to be about a romantic affair the singer sadly regrets, almost to the point of suicide. He is asking “tears of autumn rain” to help him deal with his unhealthy desires.

The author of Featherwing Love can’t escape the notion that this song is somehow about his Autumn Rain plane crash, where two survivors, thought by the rest of the world to have died in the crash, secretly raise a family of featherwing beings. Does the second verse include the sound of an aircraft alarm?
