It’s officially sweater weather! Time to put away the breezy summer tunes and break out some quiet, cozy bops. Music is crucial when curating a vibe, and fall is certainly a vibe. Here are some fall music recommendations to have on rotation this season.

“Shoot the Moon” by Norah Jones

You can always count on Norah Jones for cozy, jazzy vibes, and this song epitomizes fall.

“Closing Time” by Semisonic

It’s summer’s end, and this is the perfect song to remember the good times while looking ahead. This song will hit seniors especially hard, as it’s the “closing time” of their high school careers. 

“New Slang” by The Shins

This song will eternally be on every fall playlist, as it perfectly captures the feeling of autumn nostalgia and melancholy.

“Skinny” by Billie Eilish

A chill track off of her latest album, this song is slow, dark and nostalgic. 

“Mirage” by Orion Sun

This is a smooth, groovy track that emanates warmth and good vibes.

“We’re Going to Be Friends” by The White Stripes

A classic and nostalgic back to school tune, this song is perfect for early fall drives to school.

“One Of These Things First” by Nick Drake

Plucky, playful, and a little sad, Nick Drake’s music is a staple for Wes Anderson films, and for fall playlists.

“‘Tis Autumn” by Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass

A tried and true autumn classic that is calm and homey. 

“Last Dance by Montell Fish”

This tune is quiet and sad, great for the more melancholy moments of the season.

Good music is essential during every season, and hopefully these tracks provide some inspiration for the autumn months. From my playlist to yours, happy fall!
