Description
Little something that popped into my head when I was listening to 'Try to Remember' by Nana Mouskouri. She is a wonderful singer with a beautiful voice and you guys should seriously give this song. It brings tears to my eyes when I listen to it. It makes me remember good times with fondness. Oh yeah, and I like cherry blossoms. They're so pretty in spring, one of the reasons I love spring.Here are the lyrics to, 'Try to Remember':
Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and the grain was yellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a young and callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow
Try to remember when life was so tender
When no one wept except the willow
Try to remember when life was so tender
When dreams were kept beside your pillow
Try to remember when life was so tender
When love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow
Deep in December, it' s nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December, it' s nice to remember
Without the hurt the heart will follow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made you mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember
Then follow, follow

This is beautiful, the colouring, the composition the subject matter. Oh heck, it's just beautiful. I love it. Xxx

Purely, purely beautiful. It's not very often that I get to see something like that. ^-^

Well, you did it nicely.
Fun facts: In Anime, scenes with this falling often mean "someone undergoing great change" (may be positive or negative, e.g. after someone's death) Because one thing they represent is "nothing lasts forever." Also, in Akage No Anne (Anne of Green Gables), to keep things as authentic as possible, instead of cherry blossoms, it's apple blossoms that are used in the exact same way!

Thanks
And wow, cool. I do feel as if I'm undergoing some sort of change. Though I don't know what kind. Hopefully a nice positive one. 
And I've read Anne of Green Gables. A neighbour friend of mine once lent me the book. It was a wonderful read.

I see.
Well, thanks to the new curriculum made up when Japan was occupied by the US following World War II, "Anne of Green Gables" became required reading for those in secondary school. And it became VERY big there....many Japanese travel to Canada just to go to Prince Edward Island and "walk where Anne would have walked." Anyways, I watched the anime just to see how faithful it was to...Canada. Got things very right. And the SUBTITLES of what I saw dropped the ball, writing "CharlotteVILLE" when it's "CharlotteTOWN" (whereas the people saying it got it right, albeit in a Japanese manner)

Wow, I didn't know there was an anime of it. I'll certainly have to watch it

ironically, there's no official dub in English (but the subtitles were decent on what I found, despite the "Charlotteville" mistake)
Also, the first 15 episodes of it had Miyazaki (better known for Studio Ghibli) involved with it!

Cool, I'll keep a look out for it. I was watching the live action version this morning (had to stop to do uni work but I'll probably watch the rest of it this evening).

You'll like it.
Another fun fact: In Japan she's known as Akage No Anne or "Red Headed Anne." I guess because the red hair is more of a novelty there than it would be in the English speaking world.
