This song is go to hear!!! Thanks "Jr Fender!"And of course THANKS CAROLE KING!!! YOU ARE BLESSED TO BE A MASTERPIECE OF TALENTED ARTISTRY AND YOUR MUSIC HAS BEEN SUCH A BLESSING TO ENJOY FOR SO LONG!!! I have loved so many of your songs pretty much all my life!!! Just read that you and James Taylor performed a wonderful set together at Madison Square Garden in 2010. Two super talented artists; it's so great that you are friends!!!"Sweet Seasons" reminds me of sweet summertime in Columbus Indiana and particularly of a friendship I had with Steve Lindeman, an all-around wonderful person, and a very talented musician!!! I picture driving down there, like maybe on the way, and once I'm down there, seeing the openness of the landscape as in fields, maybe farmland; it's a positive memory of feeling "up" being in a pleasant and different place, spending time with Steve is one of the very special memories of mine there at that time. The profile pic I'm using today 111613 reminds me of Steve Lindeman, altho the profile pic is--on the style side--a bit "wild." :)Now that I've said this, I must say I looked him up recently to apologize for an old "foible" shall we say -- and I found he had released his first CD this year called "Steve Lindeman with BYU Synthesis" -- a CD full of talent that Steve Lindeman composed with himself and BYU Synthesis in mind, who backed him on the "album."BYU Synthesis won best collegiate jazz band this year, after submitting three (3) OF THE SONGS STEVE LINDEMAN WROTE!!! So this has been an incredible year for Steve, and for BYU Synthesis. I'm very happy for Steve and the jazz ensemble!!! Steve Lindeman teaches music at Brigham Young University where he commuted from Utah to NYC to take a coveted jazz workshop and he applied his new musical knowledge and skills with his wonderful talents as an artist and his creative artistry as a composer and voila!!! This is the debut year for Composer, Musician, Educator and Artist Steve Lindeman. So very proud of you Steve!!! :)But back to Columbus, IN -- this happened to be where Steve grew up, a wonderful little town that has grown a lot, known for its architecture and it fascinated me that everything in that town seemed new; like there's no run-down area. Columbus, IN happened to be where my maternal aunt settled and came to own a beauty shop. I believe Steve's Mom was one of her clients.That's likely how it is that my aunt -- also a highly talented person in the hair business (people know her as "Ruthie" but her birth name is "MunJa") -- came to know Steve Lindeman; and my Aunt MunJa introduced me to him. He was so talented on piano and guitar, and taught me a few lovely chords on the guitar that I still love to this day (and which I was able to use when a friend I had grown up with asked me to play in her wedding :)). On the keyboards he was such a whiz. We were both very young and I just have such a lovely picture of that time in life and such fond memories of our time together in Columbus and at my Aunt MunJa's home. The fireflies are so noticeable down there and they listen to a lot of country. Back then I wasn't as much of a country fan as now.But "SWEET SEASONS" brings that all back to me in Columbus but Steve Lindeman is in there really strong in relation to that song, for some reason. The chords he taught me were from Youngblood's version of "Misty Roses," which I only learned recently is a song that has been covered many a time. I can smell the pleasant fragrance in my Aunt MunJa's home. It was like a magical place for me at that time in my life . . . will never be another like it. I loved my Aunt MunJa, her home, the food, the town, that weather, the openness regarding the landscape of the area, the fireflies, the dogwood trees everywhere -- everywhere those beautiful pink blossomed trees -- the evenings. Took for granted my cousins tho -- both younger than me. My Aunt had the soundtrack album to "Dr. Zhivago," and I learned how to play a song or two from it on her piano. She loved that movie, and when I saw it -- who cannot LOVE that movie??? My Aunt MunJa taught me how to make "mandu," a delicious dish and she always had a knack for cutting my hair and my Mom's in some way we fell in love with -- a cut just right for our individual selves, with style and flare. She is SO talented and always has been so popular and well loved.I'll NEVER find another cologne that I love as much as Elizabeth Arden's "Memoire Cherie," one my Aunt wore and which I adored and bought and bought and bought until it was discontinued. I used to NOT tell people (sometimes) what I wore. But people always asked me because they loved it so much. I wanted to be unique. I have to wonder if I had told people what it was when they asked, would it have been discontinued??? So the moral here is GIVE, SHARE, BE OPEN WITH YOUR FAVORITE THINGS, SO OTHERS WILL BUY THEM, AND SO THEY WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN DEMAND.Anyway "Sweet Seasons" takes me to a different time and place. A wonderful song!!!

Thank you. And, as a fellow musician, I would say that the similarities do not extend beyond the groove and the tempo. I do, however, wish that "Sweet Season" had a chorus that modulated to a different key (a la Steely Dan's "Bad Sneakers" or Todd Rundgren's "Waiting Game").That would elevate its status from good to great.

This song has musical commonalities with Steely Dan's "My Old School"-- they have a similar groove.
