    Noel was my father. When I finally was trying to learn this beautiful song I couldn’t figure out a couple chords he had once showed me. I called him and asked him to guid me through the song over the phone and he said “Oh Will can’t it wait, I have a gig tonight” He must have heard the disappointment in my voice because the next thing I knew he was playing and singing Windmills and calling out the chords. B flat diminished! G minor! He went though the whole song and that night played his final show. He packed up his own gear at 79 after a packed Devon performance having finished his life doing exactly what he loved: Playing his moving and beautiful songs to an attentive audience. God bless you Pop, thank you for sharing the lost chords.

    I’ve always had a problem with the song getting stuck in my head and enjoying it first. After three orfour hours of the same song going round and round I always use this song as an astringent. It’s likely impossible to retain any other song with the constant spinning of images and insistent melody, it wipes my mind clean.

    This song makes me cry, even at 52 years of age. There's something very poignant in its expression. I interpret it as the fast passage of time and the regrets we sometimes feel.

    I rate this as possibly one of the greatest songs ever written, and I am amazed that its true genius never gets mentioned, and wonder whether the listener has ever realised just how clever it actually is. The melody has a type of circular feel to it in its construction, but what is remarkable is that, to reflect this, count the number of ROUND objects that are mentioned.... just in the 1st verse alone to begin with... ROUND like 1) a Circle, 2) a Spiral, 3) a Wheel, 4) a Reel, 5) a Snowball, 6) a Balloon, 7) a Carousel, 8) Rings, 9) the Moon, 10) a Clock, 11) its Face, 12) the World, 13) an Apple, 14) the Windmills and 15) your Mind. That makes 15, plus you have circular descriptions, such as 16) Spinning, 17) Turning and 18) Whirling. Then the trend continues in the 2nd verse with 19) a Tunnel, 20) a Hollow, 21) a Cavern, 22) the Sun, 23) Revolving, 24) the Ripples, 25) a Pebble, 26) your Head and finally 27) Unwind. To write one rather short song in which all these words flow naturally together, and without one struggling to rhyme, is a true work of art and genius.

    "The true meaning" is it was written specifically for the movie The Thomas Crown Affair to reflect the feelings of a millionaire heister. "Producer/director Norman Jewison commissioned an original song be written for the glider scene which would reference the ambivalent feelings of Thomas Crown as he engages in a favorite pastime while experiencing the tension of preparing to commit a major robbery."

Was it something that you said? Lovers walk along a shore And leave their footprints in the sand Was the sound of distant drumming Just the fingers of your hand? Pictures hanging in a hallway Or the fragment of a song Half-remembered names and faces But to whom do they belong? When you knew that it was over You were suddenly aware That the autumn leaves were turning To the color of her hair... Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning On an ever-spinning reel As the images unwind Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind

    "Windmills of your mind" is "internal" - about personal thinking and confusion, trying to make sense of the world. "Sound of SIlence" (Simon and Garfunkel) has a somewhat similar quality to this one, but "external". Different intent, but in this era of social media and celebrities where the mindless sheep "bow and pray to the neon Gods they've made" I find it to be frighteningly apt (think 1984, or similar Dystopian societies where to think independently is almost a crime, and certainly unusual.) Sadly their lyric structure is hard to follow, but if you just read the lyrics, the obscure message is stark enough. There's a version of the original "flop" here on KZread that reveals all. Windmills describes the difficulty in making sense of it all. Sound of Silence describes how it is much easier to just go with the flow, stop trying to make sense of it, and just do what everyone else does. The two songs seem perfectly complementary in saying everything there is to know about the human psyche.

    It's a good melody even if you are being snide about the lyrics. Also, the lyrics might be cleverer than you think: why did summer go so quickly, was it something that you said - the weather people can be petulant.

    Whenever I hear this song, it is always Noel; Harrison's voice I hear. Many other fine singers have covered this song but it is Noel's version that is the definitive version, The original and still the best.

    There have been many great interpretations of this song through the years by many wonderful singers, but this is still the original and the best by this great man who just sits, sings it sparsely, gets up and bows at the end. When you knew that it was over were you suddenly aware... Pause... ... That the autumn leaves were turning to the colour of her hair Who hasn't experienced that at some point in their life? Poignant, timeless, genius.
