Interpretation
The lyrics of the song "November Twilight" by
Julie London describe the melancholic mood of November. The bare tree branches and the smell of burning leaves symbolize autumn and the upcoming winter. The "November twilight" seeps into the heart of the singer and intensifies her melancholy.
The lyrics also describe the darkness that already prevails on the streets at five in the afternoon. Even the empty music pavilion in the park is touched by the November twilight. The silence is so intense that one could hear a voice if someone were to shout. It is so quiet that one could hear a tear fall.
The lyrics then shift to a memory of April and the laughter that penetrates the dark pavilion of the singer's heart. She misses her loved one more than ever. She longs for past times when life was beautiful and love was young and joyful. She misses the sunny hours and the swings in the garden. The lyrics end with the question of whether the November twilight must remain.
Overall, the lyrics of the song "November Twilight" express a profound melancholy and longing for past times, while November with its gloomy atmosphere permeates the heart of the singer.
