The sounds of Fall

It’s been getting cooler and the leaves have started changing colors, which means Fall is finally here!

Are there any songs, albums, or even artists that you associate with Fall? Anything the Fall season has inspired you to listen to?

I’ve been listening to a lot of Ghost, specifically their two newest tracks, in anticipation of Halloween.

War of the worlds, Forever Autumn.
" The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near
The winter winds will be much colder
Now you’re not here"

Well, as Mike has pointed out, it’s Spring in the southern climes, or Petyan (season of wildflowers) in the calendar of the Kulin people around Melbourne.

But Fall has always seemed to me to be the quintessential American season, from the photos of New England or the Adirondacks, Ray Bradbury’s stories about The October Country to Halloween and Thanksgiving. So in that spirit:

Fall is my favorite season. Orange is my favorite color. Halloween is my favorite holiday. Pumpkin Pie is my favorite Pie.

Besides watching “Its the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown”, watching my yearly list of movies (The Blob, Them, Carnival of Souls), the first fall record I play on the first Sunday Morning of Fall is Autumn by George Winston.

Melancholy at its best. I love this track, so beautiful.

“Hypnotized” by Fleetwood Mac has the eerie melancholy that fits with grey autumn skies. So does Van Morrison’s “Moon Dance”.

I’ve been listening to a lot of White Stripes/Jack White stuff and some JoCo. They’ve both been fitting the fall “mood” pretty well for me.

Autumn by the Edgar Winter Group

Let’s revisit this topic because it’s that time of the year :fallen_leaf: :maple_leaf: :jack_o_lantern: again. Personally, my favorite season.

What are your favorite fall/autumn albums?

Let me start with one of mine: MTV Unplugged, Alice in Chains.

It all came together on this one. Absolutely love the rawness. Also, knowing the background (Unplugged (Alice in Chains album) - Wikipedia) makes me enjoy this album even more.

Spinning further from the sun
Here’s October in our lungs
Come outside up in the sky
The birds are leaving
Clouds of instinct fill the air
And whatever brought us here
Come next year will bring again
The birds are leaving
Tell me that a lover’s touch
Is more than nature planting seeds
Or what am I to believe?
South of here the winter’s kinder
So they leave to find fair weather
And how high our spirits rise
On their returning
Tell me that a lover’s touch
Is more than nature passing genes
Or what am I to believe?
Heaven knows why you’re not happy
And heaven knows why I can’t make you
Look outside up in the sky
The birds are leaving
