WALKS ALONG THE SHORE, SHARED ICE CREAM, LONG DAYS AND SUMMER NIGHTS ARE OVER. BUT NOT ALL ARE BAD NEWS. BROAD JERSEYS, COFFEE AFTERNOONS AND NOVEMBER RAINS ARE BACK. AUTUMN, THE SEASON OF THE SOUL, AS IT WAS CALLED BY NIETZSCHE, RETURNS.

1. Freelance Whales – Broken horse

“October’s got those orange eyes
But somehow I still lost sight
When you lifted the lid off of my pumpkin head
And kissed me goodnight”

2. Bon Iver – Holocene 

“Someway, baby, it’s part of me, apart from me
You’re laying waste to Halloween”

3. Paper Aeroplanes – Winter never comes

“I will fly away when the leaves begin to fall
Fly away when the cold wind blows against my door
Fly away to hide beneath the sun
I am leaving in September so winter never comes”

4. Death Cab for Cutie – Stay young, go dancing

“How I feel alive and through autumn’s advancing
We’ll stay young, go dancing”

5. Ed Sheeran – Autumn leaves 

“Is it that it’s over or do birds still sing for you?
Float down
Like autumn leaves
And hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep”

6. Jon McLaughlin ft. Sara Bareilles – Summer is over

“Autumn never seemed this cold before
Here I am sleeping on the floor

[…]

Goodbye to the lovers
Summer is over”

7. Peter Bradley Adams – Bring you home 

“Today I’ll find you as autumn breaks
When silver light throws shadows on the wall
Beside you where you lay”

8. The Flaming Lips – My Cosmic Autumn Rebellion 

“Autumn’s a comin’ and soon everything around us will die
Only a fool believes that he is different from the birds in the sky”

9. The Paper Kites – Featherstone

“Wake up to the sound of your fleeting heart
When you go what you leave is a work of art
On my chest, on my heart”

10. The White Stripes – Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground 

“Dead leaves and the dirty ground
when I know you’re not around”
