It's been Fall for a while now, but it never truly hits me until the time change happens. It gets darker earlier and a little cooler. That's when it truly feels like Fall. It's a good time to drive around and look at everything dying and listen to some songs that really bring on the feels. But, afterthe time change, there are two types of people: those who love it and those who hate it. Whether you love it and are looking to embrace the change, or you're looking for something to help you cope with it, here are some songs perfect for this time of year.
1. Repine - Pianos Become The Teeth
If you're grieving over the death of warm weather and abundant sunshine this one's for you. The definition of the word repine is to feel or express discontent. The basis of this song ties into a bigger theme that Pianos Become The Teeth have used in other albums; grief. Repine is about succumbing to that grief and accepting it. Letting it out. Let out your discontent for the colder, darker season. If you're feeling it, then let the somber, sweet sound of this song be the background music for the season.
2. Millstone - Brand New
How could I write a list on feelsy music and not include Brand New? In case you we're wondering, I can't. This is my go-to band for Fall and Millstone will always be one of my go-to songs. The gist of this one is about change and how the narrator isn't dealing well with it. (Could this be a more perfect message? Nope, it could not)
3. The Last Lost Continent - La Dispute
This is the time of year where many feel depressed. The darker days and cooler temperatures just seem to bring people down. The overall message of the song is defiant, making this song is perfect to remind you that no matter how dark it may be that you are not alone in it. There are others in the same state as you.
4. Broadripple Is Burning - Margot and the Nuclear So and So's
There's nothing quite as great as a song about a relationship ending to sing along to while the leaves and grass die. This folksy piece complete with a sad harmonica is sure to make you feel some kind of way.
5. Hot Knives - Bright Eyes
This season is a time for change and in Hot Knives change is everything. The song is about a woman who finds out that she just can't live with how her life is going, so she seeks out a change and transforms her life, like how you should turn that sadness you have regarding the change of the season into something better.
