Story behind the song
The title came to me in a conversation with Zozimo of Astronomusic...Zozimo used it as a salutation of greeting, but I felt The Autumn Of South Hemisphere hint at a closing of the year, the impending end of life...and the sadness that goes with all that...also looking back on one's own life and what is to come.
Lyrics
Thirteen was a lucky year My teenage revelation. I saw the world for what it is, all lies and misinformation…Oh! High school was a waste of time I reached beyond their doors My favorite nun she kicked the habit Do you think she knew the score?...Oh yeah! Ch: I got on a train, in the pouring rain. Couldn’t see a thing through the foggy pane Non stop tour, from East to West I just can’t seem to remember, all the rest. Solo Ch: I got on a train, in the pouring rain. Couldn’t see a thing through the foggy pane Non stop tour, from East to West I just can’t seem to remember, all the… Mid 8: Lies! Deceits! Broken promises between the sheets. No one gives a rats ass Smoking all that funny grass Illusions! Delusions! You’ll never find your self. You’ll never find a way, out of here. Ch: I got on a train, in the pouring rain. Couldn’t see a thing through the foggy pane Non stop tour, from East to West I just can’t seem to remember, all the rest. Now I’m back where I belong The Autumn of South Hemisphere Will I recall the missing years, the missing tears? The twilight of my life.

Hearkens back to my days of hangin' out doing wheelies while listening to my fav Bay Area garage bands.

I agree with Anita vibe on this it does have a smugness too it.Its deliberate yet nonchalant. Cool lyrics and arrangement Nice performance Really cool tune danny

This has a smugness that I like. I can visualize the video - slinking back in a big stuffed chair like a slithery gecko, with the choruses turning into the smoke trailing upwards from his cigarette holding fingers.
