Warm days are over. Cows are returning to their barn, one of the saddest days for them.
Taylor Swift, Teardrops on my Guitar, with images of said return:

"Populace above, populace below! What are 'poor' and 'rich' at present! That distinction did I unlearn,—then did I flee away further and ever further, until I came to those kine." --Thus Spake Zarathustra / Friedrich Nietzsche.
I love Michael Jackson's moves, but IMO the greatest dancer ever was Gene Kelly. Gene is just amazing, without any special clothing and choreographed groups behind.
Don't try this at home...

The great French composer Francis Lai made the music for many movies in the 60s and 70s, including the soundtrack for 1970's cheesy Love Story.
The two themes that became famous from that movie are the Love Theme and the Snow Frolic (Skating in the Central Park), here played by the great (now deceased) Stanley Black and the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation Orchestra:
Snow Frolic, the music heard from 1:09 to 1:49, became a popular song by the title "Look Around And You'll Find Me There" in the English-speaking world. Here sung by Al Martino:
Meanwhile, the Love Theme became (with lyrics) "Where Do I Begin," here sung by Andy Williams:
Snow Frolic took a different course in the Romance-language world, where it became known as To Give You My Heart. Here the Spanish version, by Nino Bravo ("Para darte my corazón"):
And, of course, the original Snow Frolic (Skating in the Central Park):

One of the oldest melodies posted here. Máximo Ramón Ortiz was a politician with a picturesque life. Leader of a separatist nation in Southern Mexico (down in Oxaca, in the Tehuantepec area), he was captured and executed by the Liberals when he was only 39, in 1855. Two years before, his mother had died (due to civil unrest, he couldn't be there when she died), and as a homage to her he had composed this song: Sandunga (1853). The Lila Downs version.
