Indeed, I had one of those elusive moments of inspiration where you just get a clear idea right at the beginning. Having looked at the Seasons footage, I got the feeling that it wasn't just seasons passing, but rather someone reminiscing his life. The title sequence with the work desk imagery and the quote helped suggest this interpretation. Also, I think it may have helped me with the slight adventurousness of the stylistic juggling. It's not just "What's autumn like?" but rather "What was that one autumn like?"
That was a theme I thought I could write about, and so I took a shot.
And a great interpretation it is. Kind of reminds me of how I listened to Sting's The Hounds of Winter back when the album came out thinking it was a song about, well, seasons changing. Years later it just suddenly dawned on me that it's not about that at all, it's a song about growing old. Listening to it now I can't really hear it any other way but your perspective changes over the years, along with your interpretation of things.
