Every season has its songs. Here are some that are either actually about the Fall or remind me of Fall in some ludicrous, moronic way:
1. We're Going to be Friends - The White Stripes
Definitely my favorite Fall song as it reminds me of being a kid when nothing mattered except going to elementary school and seeing your friends!
2. Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day
"Wake Me Up When Fall Starts", duh. Also, the first line is "Summer has come and passed." Classic Fall song.
3. September - Earth, Wind & Fire
I cannot stop laughing at how funny this video is. Yeah I know I'm just a dumb college kid but those clothes combined with those dance moves are killing me. Easily one of the catchiest songs I have ever heard that just makes you want to dance (even though I can't stand disco).
4. October - Broken Bells
The name of the song is October and the month of October is in the season of Fall. Other than a few lines, that's about all the Fall that comes with this one. It's a sad song but it's good to listen to while walking around during this time of the year.
5. Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground - The White Stripes
Man, Jack White must either really love or hate Fall. Normally musicians write about the things or people that really get to them (Hi Adele I'm talking about you. Oh you don't know Adele? Well she has an entire 17 song album about a breakup. Can you say crazy ex-girlfriend?) or about things that they love and are passionate about. Dead leaves and the dirty ground are basically what Fall is so yeah, go Jack White.
6. Falling Down - Atreyu
I like to think that a leaf wrote this song to a person. I think about a leaf that has fallen out of a tree and is halfway to the ground. This leaf is saying to a person: "You're looking over your shoulder staring down the path" and then follows that line by yelling "I'm falling down" three times as its falling to the ground.
7. Sweater Weather - The Neighborhood
Fall is the time of the year when it starts to become cool enough that you can wear sweaters, and what's more comfortable than a sweater? I don't really wear them that much... but maybe I should buy more because damn are they comfy.
8. Cold Day In The Sun - Foo Fighters
One of my favorite songs by one of the greatest bands of all-time, and Dave Grohl doesn't even sing it. Taylor Hawkins does, congratulations Taylor you made the list *clap clap clap*. I've experienced a lot of cold days in the sun during the Fall season in my life so I couldn't think of a better song to choose to represent them.
9. Do You Remember - Jack Johnson
Jack Johnson is a musical god. Almost all of his songs are perfect for the Fall but I picked this one because it felt the most Fally (just an awful made up word). If you don't currently listen to Jack Johnson I recommend that you start to. (Hey guys, girls love Jack Johnson *hint hint*).
10. Autumn Leaves Are Falling Down - The Kiboomers
Hello VMA's.
