Frolick in the autumn mist

I grew up listening to oldies. I also grew up listening to “Puff the Magic Dragon” + the german version, “Paff der Zauberdrachen”

I just remembered about this song today and I thought of listening to it again, after many, many years.

Puff makes my eyes puffy, and no pun intended. Really, this song makes me cry. Every single time. Without fail. I guess it’s just the melody of the song which blends so well with the singer’s soothing voice. Or just the story within it. Have a listen.

The English version (the highly effective one that made me cry):
Puff the Magic Dragon, performed by Peter, Paul & Mary

The German version (which I oftenly listened to, as a kid, compared to the English version):
Paff der Zauberdrachen, performed by Marlene Dietrich

Right, maybe the German version wasn’t so saddening to me because I don’t wholly understand German. Looks like this is my kind of “emo music”..*laughs*

Now, let’s see if any of you had puffy eyes, like I had..
