Breathe in that crisp, cold air and start dreaming of a stroll or two through the leaves -- at last, we return to autumn. I know for certain that I am a cold weather kind of gal and I anticipate the September-October-November stretch like nobody's business.
Guess I picked the right nation to be born in, am I right?
Anyhow, I thought I'd celebrate the First Day of Fall with a soundtrack tailored to the season. Granted, none of these songs reference the autumn, per se. However, when I listen to them, I can't help but picture myself walking through a small town at around 10-11 am with a little bit of sunshine playing through the trees and a few hints of Halloween popping up in store windows.
I almost wish I was out of work just so I could take advantage of this season before it slips away again. Paf.
On that note, here's a sample of what I'm listening to this autumn:
- "Ahead By A Century," The Tragically Hip
- "Any Sense of Time," The Inbreds
- "The Atomic Trinity," Queens of the Stone Age
- "Cecilia," Thomas Dybdahl
- "Downtown," Tegan and Sara
- "Forever My Friend," Ray LaMontagne
- "Hanging (Aka Ramble Off)," Joshua Homme
- "High and Dry," Radiohead
- "Karma Police," Radiohead
- "Lightning Song," Queens of the Stone Age
- "Love Letters," Jude
- "A Lovestory," Thomas Dybdahl
- "One of These Things First," Nick Drake
- "The Only Living Boy In New York," Simon and Garfunkel
- "Pink Moon," Nick Drake
- "Rebellion (Lies)," The Arcade Fire
- "Sarah," Ray LaMontagne
- "So Real," Jeff Buckley
- "Sunday Afternoon," Mia Doi Todd
- "That Song," Big Wreck

.... And how about you? What songs are on your autumn soundtrack?
