5 Songs That Remind You of Fall
The Music Room

Fall is here and hitting quicker than we can gather our sweaters, but snuggling up without the music to fit the feel is down right untraditional. So get your cup o' Joe's, your lemon and teas, or your hot chocolate and marshmallows because heres a list of autumn music videos to get you in the mood. . . or just to help you get through the day. Click the song title to hear them on Youtube.

1. Sugar, We're Going Down

By Fallout Boy

The fall season is a hunter's paradise, the forests ripe with deer, turkeys -- for Thanksgiving -- and other game. One of the first songs I listened to by FOB, the awkward irony if the story is what attracted me to the music. This heart-felt love story about an antler boy falling for a hunter's daughter isn't new, but it is choreographed well. But what characterizes this music video as fall music for me is the motif of change. The leaves sheds their verdant pigment revealing their beautiful shades and tints of brown, red, and yellow. And my teenage puberty hit me like a brick wall teetering between being a misunderstood emo kid and a rap enthusiast, both of which I still carry around with me on my playlist. This similar idea is used as a metaphor in revealing the father's hypocritical secret: he's really an antler boy himself. Fall is all about change, kind of like an early new year's.


2. Electric Love

By Børns



This sweater-weather song is mesmerizing as it is soothing in rhythm and tone, but the music video is so visually engaging that you feel transported to another world. Honestly, it's pretty psychedelic. But the lyrics are really what puts this song on the list. The cuddle-inducing breezes of fall are synonymous with new love which is exactly what this song is about. The words are powerfully hyperboles that hit straight into the feeling of budding romances and especially the excitement of teenage puppy love. What isn't there to like about strange feelings that make you all butterflies inside your tummy?


3. Rocketeer

By Far East Movement Ft.Ryan Tedder

While this list is about fall music, in the height of social anxiety, I think this song deserves a pat on the back for being one of the few more popular songs -- Along with their other hit "Like A G6" -- by Asian Americans in the hip-hop scene to hit the charts. What is distinctly autumn-esque about "Rocketeer" is the smooth alto Tedder provides as the backdrop and chorus to the bouncing rhythm of Far East Movement's well-balanced rapping. Plus, with the music video considered, there's nothing more romantic than building a jet-pack from junk scraps just to see your beloved.


4. 3005

By Childish Gambino

Since you might be sick of all of the love stories, this one is for you single ladies and gents. With a somber beat, "3005" is reminiscent of J. Cole's rhythm and rapping with a lighter and more awkward voice. However, the cute giant sentient teddybear that the rapper has his arm around takes the autumn cake. The most snuggly plushie is seated on a Ferris wheel next to a passionless Donald Glover looking in the other direction rapping about heartache and passing insults. The metaphor becomes clear when the teddy starts to slowly deteriorate. And despite the lyrics, the song flows well with harmonic background vocals against tapping drum tempos. Sip your hot chocolate that is sweeter than your love life. We've all been there before. P.S. There is a 15-second bit at the end of the song that gives you some dark closure.

5. Stressed Out

By Twenty One Pilots

While some of you have already met hordes of family or had a small family gathering for the Thanksgiving, we all know the pressures of the extended family interrogations. While a newer one on this list, "Stressed Out" encompasses the feelings of anxiety in the faces of judging eyes and questions like "So what are doing with your life?" With mix of rock and pop music, this song equalizes the two genres with a nice stream of rap that ties the drum accents, background vocals, and piano notes. At least next month we'll get paid in presents for being insulted. Can't wait.


With caroling songs already on the radio, be sure to savor these songs in loving memory of fall. If you think I have missed some good fall songs or have better ones in mind, please share them in the comment section below!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
