As this past weekend marked the change from summer to fall, it seemed fitting to focus on the fall season for this week’s playlist. Though we do live in Mississippi, which means it’ll take a while for the weather to cool off, we can still hope that we will see cooler weather soon. Either way, hopefully this playlist gets you in the mood for fall.
- “Autumn Almanac” — The Kinks
- “November Rain” — Guns N’ Roses
This is one of the most fitting songs on this playlist for fall in Mississippi, because November is still part of hurricane season. At almost eight minutes long, “November Rain” feels more operatic than normal rock music — but in the best way possible. Soon enough, we’ll all know how the cold November rain feels.
- “Autumn in New York” — Frank Sinatra
- “Summer is Over” — Jon McLaughlin
- “September” — Earth, Wind, and Fire
- “Autumn Leaves” — Ed Sheeran
This song is another classic Ed Sheeran song about heartbreak, but this one happens in autumn and has an essence of the season. Sheeran has a great way of emoting through his voice, and his performance on this song is no exception.
- “Autumnsong” — Manic Street Preachers
- “Summer’s Over” — Jonathan Coulton
- “Autumn in New York” — Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald
- “My Cosmic Autumn Rebellion” — The Flaming Lips
- “Autumn Serenade” — John Coltrane
- “Wake Me Up When September Ends” — Green Day
This is one of Green Day’s most famous songs. Lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong said that this song was about the time period when his father passed away and the 9/11 attacks had just happened and how he just wanted to sleep through it all. It is a great song about contemplating the past and looking towards to future.
- “Til Summer Comes Around” — Keith Urban
- “Sweater Weather” — The Neighbourhood
- “November” — Tom Waits
