Can an autumn morning really evoke a song?

The chilly 39°F weather reminds of the first time I heard ‘Today’ by Smashing Pumpkins. I don’t know. Maybe it’s the innocent sounding tune married to the dark, ironic lyrics. Maybe the song reflects the weather–beautiful, but with a chilly bite. Maybe it’s the fact that the song first hit the mainstream radio like a throat punch about this time of year almost two decades ago. Maybe I just need another cup of coffee.
