Toosii – October (Official Video)

Toosii, a next-generation rapper gaining attention for his philosophical lyrics, has crafted a track titled “October” that, as the name suggests, centers on the month of October.

The key point of the lyrics is how he frames autumn as “the season between summer and winter.” Summer evokes a fun, bright image, while winter feels harsh and cold.

In other words, autumn marks the passage from a joyful season toward a tougher one.

Keep that in mind as you listen.

Also pay attention to the rhythmic flow and the cool production.

October SkyYebba

Yebba – October Sky (Live)

Singer-songwriter Yebba is known for crafting many heart-wrenching songs.

One such track included on her album Dawn is October Sky.

It’s a song themed around the October sky, depicting children watching rockets launched into the beautiful heavens, contrasted with adults being swept along by the crowd.

If you interpret the rockets as a metaphor for farewell and the adults as the children grown up, it all seems to fall into place.
