"Autumn Leaves" is a much-recorded popular song. Originally a 1945 French song "Les feuilles mortes" (literally "The Dead Leaves") with music by Joseph Kosma and lyrics by poet Jacques Prévert, the American songwriter Johnny Mercer wrote English lyrics in 1947. Jo Stafford was among the first to perform this version. Autumn Leaves became a pop standard and a jazz standard in both languages, both as an instrumental and with a singer. Yves Montand introduced "Les feuilles mortes" in 1946 for the film Les Portes de la Nuit. French singer Edith Piaf rendered both French and English versions of this song on the radio program "The Big Show," December 24, 1950. [1] The film Autumn Leaves (1956) starring Joan Crawford featured the song, as sung by Nat King Cole over the title sequence. The French songwriter Serge Gainsbourg paid tribute to this song in his own song "La chanson de Prévert".[2] It is the corps song of the Bluecoats Drum and Bugle Corps.[3]

What does song autumn by paulo nutini mean?
Here is this song's lyrics ,read and try to guess what it means.That's very clear: Autumn leaves under frozen souls, Hungry hands turing soft and old, My hero crying as we stood out their in the cold, Like these autumn leaves I dont have nothing to hold. Handsome smiles wearing handsome shoes, Too young to say, though I swear he knew, And i hear him singing while he sits there in his chair, While these autumn leaves float around everywhere. And I look at you, and I see me, Making noise so restlessly, But now its quiet and I can hear you sing, 'My little fish dont cry, my little fish dont cry.' Autumn leaves how fading now, that smile that ive lost, well ive found some how, Because you still live on in my fathers eyes, These autumn leaves, all these autumn leave, all these autumn leaves are yours tonite. mmmmmmm....
