Something funny happens when the calendar strikes October. The network formerly known as ABC Family plays Hocus Pocus almost every day (no complaints), and the words "pumpkin spice" become inescapably all the rage (no comment). Whether you participate in these fall staples or they elicit extreme eye rolls, even the bitterest of contrarians have to admit they make the season a sensory experience.
More so than the flavor, scents, and scenes attached to the chilly months, music just sounds brighter in the fall. It's one of the proven facts of life. When (or in some cases, if) the weather changes to a crisp cool, there's simply nothing better than to cozy on into a sweater, pop in some headphones, and enjoy the weather on walk around the block—with or without the polarizing pumpkin spice latte.
But for those of us who revel in the fall months and all its popularly deemed basic details, this playlist is for you. It's perfect for those breezy days and pumpkin spice lattes. From the plucky synth beats of on-trend pop to the calming key strokes of Norah Jones and everything in between, music can create a blissful autumnal moment.
