Leaves have turned orange, and a breeze has hit the air.  When I imagine fall, it’s pouring outside and I’m listening to my favorite playlist. A playlist that feels and sounds like the season. Here are my top three songs for the autumn time.

“Five String Serenade” by Mazzy Star is a cover of the song from Aurthur Lee and Love the band. Though Mazzy Star didn’t write this song, she sang it beautifully. The lyrics portray someone who yearns for their last companion. A violin plays softly in the background, making you feel immersed in the song. 

“Cemetry Gates” by The Smiths. This song tells a story of two people who are meeting together to mourn the loss of strangers at a cemetery. They talk about how upsetting it is to see all of these people who have passed, and not knowing their backstory. It makes you think about their lives. One of them continues to quote poetry claiming it as their own, which it’s not.

While the lyrics in this song are sorrowful, its background music has an upbeat tempo, which can be overwhelming. It generates a lot of conflicting emotions, because, on one hand, they are talking about this upsetting day, but on the other, they talk about how lovely it is to think about all of these lives lived. 

“Show Me How” By Men I Trust is a mellow and stillful piece. The song itself has a melody that could just put you to sleep. Emmanuelle Proulx, the vocalist, has a peaceful tone. The highschool band sings about the connection you build in a relationship, how you grasp the other person’s perspectives. 

Fall music is supposed to be calming, more of a background noise. All of the songs on this fall playlist feel comforting. If you agree then I think this playlist will be great for you!
