There’s something about autumn that’s so different from the other seasons. Maybe it’s the beauty of the changing leaves or the smell of the air as the temperature begins to drop. Retro horror movies, vintage Halloween decorations, candle-lit bedrooms, and pumpkin spiced everything make life feel cinematic during these months. The ever-present feeling nostalgia and comfort of fall is fueled by the familiar scents and sounds that surround us. Here I’ve compiled a list of songs that embody the feeling of fall, in an order that flows, to create the perfect soundtrack for autumn. Listen as you drive back from the pumpkin patch or take a trip down the Kancamagus. Envision yourself as the main character in a movie and enjoy :)
