As the leaves begin to change and pumpkin spice fills the air, it is the perfect time to revamp your playlist with songs that capture the atmosphere of this time of the year. These songs provide a perfect transition from bubbly, summery pop songs to songs that reflect the chilly, crisp fall weather.

  1. “Temporary Love” by The Brinks – With a similar sound to earlier Neighborhood releases, “Temporary Love” ebbs and flows soothingly throughout; this song combines a sense of musicality with energy, the perfect combination.
  2. “Mess is Mine” by Vance Joy – With a powerful build in vocals enhanced with lyrics that keep it real about life, “Mess is Mine”  is an enjoyable autumn listen and a favorite of Air Academy students.
  3. “Fool’s Gold” by Dagny feat. BORN – The newest song from Norwegian artist Dagny’s second EP is energetic and inspiring, perfect for an overcast day.
  4. “Beach Baby” by Bon Iver – With folksy steel guitar backing this track, it’s hard not to imagine yourself at a bonfire. The instrumentation is easily matched by the powerful lyrics in this song.
  5. “Pink + White” by Frank Ocean – One of the songs on Ocean’s long awaited album, “Pink + White” combines soaring vocals with a dynamic, yet understated accompaniment.
  6. “Coins” by Local Natives – A plucky emotional song with a catchy chorus that will be stuck in your head all day, “Coins” is perfect for those fall afternoon drives.

Even though the weather might be dull, these songs are sure to brighten a foggy fall day.
