As you sip tea in a cozy nook this fall, make sure to relax with some chill music. Here's a carefully curated score for some warmth in the autumn haze.
1. "Skinny Love" by Bon Iver
Something about the constancy of the strumming in this song makes for a perfect backdrop as the leaves change color.
2. "1957" by Milo Greene
All of Milo Greene's music always has a a sort of a cinematic effect- the kind of music that just rolls when movie characters go on long and reflective road trips.
3. "Ink" by Coldplay
I remember listening to this song in the senior year of high school, and absolutely relating to the lyrics, "All I know, is that I'm lost...". It's an incredibly heartwarming song with calmingly catchy rhythm.
4. "Fake Empire" by The National
My friend used to come over and play the introductory piano riff of this song over and over again. We would muse over Matt Berninger's deep and simple voice, and how it so perfectly reflects that sort of autumn haze.
5. "World Spins Madly On" by The Weepies
There's something so charming about the style of The Weepies' music. It's been described as "subtly intoxicating folk-pop" and that's absolutely right. If folk music has never been your thing, give it a listen, it might actually charm you too.
6. "Tenerife Sea" by Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran has always had a chill vibe about him, and this particular song has that sort of sleep-inducing mellow vibe that is so perfect for the arrival of fall.
7. "Ghosting" by Mother Mother
The first 10 seconds of this song sounds like nails on a chalkboard and induces the kind of cringe that makes you want to scream "eek". However, get past the 10 seconds, and you'll notice how it carefully resolves into a euphonious acoustic strum. It's a genius piece that I 10/10 recommend.
8. "Always Gold" by Radical Face
Finally, this mellow piece,that is grounded on a simple piano melody, is a song that will leave you with a hum for the entire day. It's golden, and perfect for fall.
~ Hope you enjoy :) Happy Fall!
