If you like acoustic, beautiful music, this playlist is for you. All of these songs have a sylvan sweet sound to 'em.
1. "Just Like the Leaves" by A Boy Named Banjo
"Something about the fall can make a man go mad." So begins a song that has that rustic sweetness that walks hand-in-hand with autumn. Listen to it while you drive to that hayride a half hour away; it'll no doubt put you in the spirit of it all.
2. "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young
If you ever wondered what the song equivalent of sidling through a park as the leaves fall, you've found it. This is one of the most lovestruck autumnal tunes out there, and I fully recommend it for anyone who wants to see the romantic side of the fall.
3. "Naked As We Came" by Iron & Wine
"Birds are leaving over autumn's ending." This one is a little on the sadder side, but still beautiful. It plays as a preface for the winter, a song that appreciates the beautiful season in front of us now but recognizes that a new one is coming.
4. "Orange Sky" by Alexi Murdoch
Maybe it's just me, but I always thought that autumn feels like a time of solemn reflection. This song is slow, and thoughtful, like a conversation you have with someone late at night and you're both too tired to be anything but honest. Listen to it when the moon is full, and a winter chill is just starting to course through the breeze.
5. "Cringe" by Matt Maeson
Don't let the title fool you; this song is anything but cringe-worthy. I saved a real upbeat song for last. It still has that rustic feel that the others on the list do, but this one is more like a run through the leaves than walk through the park.
