The Best Fall Playlist Ever!
By Shannan Massillon ('25)
Have you ever had a hard time choosing which songs to listen to during the fall? I mean, there are plenty of songs for the other seasons, but there are barely any songs for fall. It can be hard to find the right song for you, so in this article, I’m going to show you some of the best fall-themed songs out there; that way, you won’t have a hard time finding songs to listen to.
1. Autumn Leaves - Ed Sheeran
This is just one of the songs that you could only listen to during the fall season. It’s a beautiful and calm song, one that you could listen to as the leaves fall from the trees in your backyard. It just has a great autumn feel to it.
2. Autumn In New York - Louis Armstrong & Ella Fitzgerald
This is an old classic from the 1950's. If you already listen to music from the most famous singers back in the day, you may already know Louis Armstrong. But now, you can listen to him perform with someone else, and that someone just happens to be Ella Fitzgerald.
3. Harvest Fair - Summer Salt
This song will have you feeling the rush of emotions that come with losing someone you love. It will make you change the way you think about people in general, and what I love about this song is that it gives you that feeling that we are in autumn, not winter. It can also relate to you, and perhaps remind you of a time that you went to a harvest fair when you were younger.
4. When October Goes - Barry Manilow
This song goes out to everyone who hates to see October go. It makes you have the feeling of when you hate to see someone special go. Looking at this song weather wise, after October ends, we start to feel cold.
5. Seasons (Waiting On You) - Future Islands
Future Island's song will have you remembering all the great seasons to come, such as Winter and Summer! But, then it hits you with a longing emotion of feeling like you’re lost or away from something memorable.
6. September - Earth, Wind is & Fire
Here’s our final Fall themed song that will pump you up for the season! This song has the magic to relax you, but at the same time, gives you so much spirit that you can’t wait to get up in the morning just to listen to it.
These are just some of the songs you could listen to during Fall. I chose these songs because they all invoke the type of emotions you would want to feel as you're listening to music during the Fall season. Hopefully, you'll know what to listen to during the Autumn season now!
