(I'll go first!) Because of the lines about the trees drawing me near; reflections of my mind; gentle voices (elves in the trees, of course) ; and leaving myself behind, the fairy-land of love, and the beauty seen... all, all terribly elvish.
It brings me to either Rivendell, Lorien, or Gildor in the Shire, or, Frodo and Bilbo looking for elves in the woods of the Shire. (The oboe helps a great deal; for an instrument that I initially disliked, it definitely has a profound effect on me.)
Moody Blues
The Afternoon: Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?)
Tuesday, afternoon,
I'm just beginning to see,
Now I'm on my way,
It doesn't matter to me,
Chasing the clouds away.
Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near,
I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh.
I'm looking at myself, reflections of my mind,
It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind,
So gently swaying thru the fairy-land of love,
If you'll just come with me and see the beauty of
Tuesday afternoon.
Tuesday afternoon.
(repeat v. 1 & 2)
