You might not associate autumn with such nice emotions as with Summer. But the following fall songs will help you ease the seasonal change pain.
At first glance, autumn is the most modest season of the year, and autumn has nothing on spring, where nature comes back to life. On the contrary, some plants begin to say goodbye in the third season, and winter gives the character the rest.
With steely determination, everything that came before is wiped out.
It can be depressing because the threat of winter is just around the corner. But it’s not all bad news – the leaves are beautiful, Halloween is about as good as it gets, and kids get to hollow out pumpkins. To make things even better, we’ve put together the ultimate fall playlist of over 60 songs for you to enjoy.
Autumn is a relatively quiet contemplative season, also reflected in the music. Some of the essential fall songs are certainly “Ivy & Gold” by Bombay Bicycle Club, “Dead Oaks” by Now, Now, or White Stripes with “Dead Leaves and The Dirty Ground.”
Classics like “Hazy Shade of Winter” by Simon & Garfunkel or “Autumn Leaves” by Eva Cassidy should not be missing on a good playlist for autumn.
Have fun with the soundtrack to autumn!
