Autumn
Jackle App Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The stunning Derpy Hooves, or Ditzy Doo
If you've got a note she'll send it
But don't you be mad when it's
late by a couple minutes
Nopony's perfect!
Trot with me through the autumn leaves
Soon you'll see how much you mean to me
Feelings I've never felt before
The leaves grow bright and yellow
Like her hair and eyes stay mellow
There's something special 'bout that mare.
I'd be a happy fellow
If I could just say hello
Have to be brave just don't be scared
So trot with me through the autumn leaves
And keep close to stay warm
Soon you'll see how much you mean to me
Feelings I've never felt before
(Synth solo)
When I see her with her filly
I know that I'll look silly
I can't stop grinning ear to ear
But when the air gets chilly
the cuteness nearly kills me
That mare deserves mother of the year!
So trot with me through the autumn leaves
and keep close to stay warm
soon you'll see how much you mean to me
Feelings I've never felt before
Feelings that I've never felt before!
I know a mare
Whose mind is free
You know you're special
at least to me
They will say what they want
and still be mean
What's next for you?
That's to be seen
The song "Autumn" by Jackle App seems to be written from the perspective of a pony who has a deep admiration and affection for another pony, whom he calls Derpy Hooves (or Ditzy Doo). The first stanza of the song sheds light on Derpy's character by referring to her as a pony who would send a note for you even if it's late by a couple of minutes, showcasing her understanding nature and sympathetic disposition. The chorus of the song paints a vivid picture of the two ponies walking together, with the autumn leaves falling around them. The singer seems to cherish this moment with her, as he confesses how much she means to him and the feelings he has never felt before.
The lyrics of the song seem to celebrate the beauty of autumn and the wonder of being in harmony with nature. The second verse likens the sight of the leaves turning to bright yellow to the mare's hair and eyes staying mellow, attributing contemplative characteristics to her. The singer then admits his apprehension in approaching Derpy Hooves, reflecting on his reluctance to make the first move. He ultimately rallies himself to be bold, as he feels strongly about his feelings and is seemingly determined to confess them to her. The final verse ties back to the broader theme of the song by celebrating the bond between a mother and her filly, with the singer clearly in awe of her maternal qualities.

@maraespinosa6272
2021 and im still listening to this....I sure was glad to have discovered this in my early mlp fandom days, by far one of my top fanmade songs.
@Man_Flippin_Pentagrams
Agreed. Many other amazing songs in the fandom, but this one has a more uniquely melancholic feeling to it.
@theycallmebunny9459
It is definitely one of my favorites, still coming back in 2023.
Still warms my heart every time I hear it.

Am here in 2023 as well to add to my nostalgia playlist 🥲
@aMondayMorning
I really wish I explored the musical side of the fandom back in 2011-2012. I just discovered this and I feel like I missed out on having this be nostalgic. It's a really sweet song.
