In case you're not in the fall spirit yet, try listening to my list of 10 Great Autumn Vibe Songs to put you in the mood.
1. "Don't Know Why" by Norah Jones —Mellow and moody and makes you want to wail along with her.
2. "Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop" by Landon Pigg —Sweet, lovely sentiments about falling in love.
3. "Autumn Town Leaves" by Iron & Wine —A song with a classic vibe that makes you want to sing along if you only knew the words.
4. "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day —Perfect song if you're feeling melancholy and blue so you can have a good cry.
5. "Pale September" by Fiona Apple - Moody and melancholy but hopeful of new love.
6 "September" by Earth, Wind, and Fire —Yes! A foot-tapping, finger-snapping hit from yesteryear that will make you dance around the room.
7. "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young —Oh, it's a love song with no under tone of sadness.
8. "September" by Corb Lund —A little country for all you fans plus you farmers and ranchers who'll know exactly what he's talking about.
9. "Forever Autumn" by Justin Hayward —There's something so evocative about this song of change and loss. It actually reminds me of songs like "One Tin Soldier" originally recorded by The Original Caste which was used as the theme music for the cult classic, Billy Jack.
10. "Autumn in New York" by Frank Sinatra —I saved this classic for last.
This song was written by Russian immigrant Vernon Duke aka Vladimir Dukelsky in the summer of 1934 when he was in Connecticut but homesick for New York City. It was first sung in a Broadway musical, and later recorded in December 1934.
The song didn't reach "hit" status until Sinatra recorded it in 1947. Since then many singers have covered this song, but Old Blue Eyes still has the most popular version.

I love some of these, too, and remember that one of my mother's favorite songs was "Autumn Leaves." This is my favorite season of them all--at least until spring.
ReplyDeleteMy mom had a record of Autumn Leaves by a torch singer from her era. Fall is my second favorite season with spring being my first.
