As the leaves begin to change, it’s also time to start changing up your go-to tunes. Here are some cool tunes to refresh your soundtrack on crisp fall mornings.
House of Fun by Madness
This song came on the radio when I was on a road trip with two friends this past week. I’d never heard the song before, but all three of us immediately started jamming to it. It’s older vibe is a nice change of pace from some of today’s tunes.
Ophelia by The Lumineers
This is my favorite rainy day song. It’s super calming, and I love how beautifully and realistically it paints the picture of love.
Another Night on Mars by The Maine
My favorite line in this song is “With friends like ours, anywhere is home.” I’ve been super lucky to have amazing friends like that and this song has become one of my anthems in past weeks.
Sweet Disaster by DREAMERS
I love the oxymoron of “Sweet Disaster” and I love this song. It’s got a killer chorus and I hope you love it, too.
Something to Believe In by Young the Giant
The music and lyrics of this song are a little unusual, but it’s a refreshing kind of unusual. There aren’t many songs like this out there, and I appreciate that.
Good Grief by Bastille
Bastille just recently released a new album, and IT’S FIRE. This song is easily my favorite song. It’s got a great beat and melody and gets stuck in your head, but in the good way, not the annoying way.
Along the Road by Karmin
This is a nice slow jam with incredibly honest lyrics about friendship in college. The memories Karmin sings about are the memories I’m making right now with my friends, and it feels super meta.
Fresh Eyes by Andy Grammer
A nice, relaxing ballad that always makes me smile. The love in this song is the kind of love I want someday.
Something New by Secret Weapons
This is one of those songs that you absolutely have to sing along at the top of your lungs. When I hear this song, I think of the late night adventures I have with my friends and it makes me smile.
Come on Eileen by Dexy’s Midnight Runners
This song is a classic. It doesn’t matter what the occasion is, I will always get up and dance to this song. There’s something about it that I can’t resist.
The Seeker by The Who
An oldie, but a goodie. You can never go wrong with The Who, and this song takes me back to my days playing Guitar Hero with my brother in our basement.
80’s Mercedes by Maren Morris
While I don’t have a Mercedes (unfortunately), I do relate to the “girl power” message in this song. It’s the kind of song I want to roll my windows down to, even in the winter.
Closer by the Chainsmokers (feat. Halsey)
I’m sure you’ve heard this song by now. But no matter how many times I hear it on the radio, I can still get down to it.
Cancer (Cover) by Twentyone Pilots
This song was originally made famous by My Chemical Romance, but covered by one of my favorite bands, Twentyone Pilots. They put an interesting spin on such an honest, heartfelt song. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s worth your time.
Overwhelming by Jon Bellion
My friend played this song one day when we were studying together, and I immediately downloaded Jon Bellion’s album because I loved it so much. But, if you are looking for just one jam from his latest album, check out this one.
