As Summer shifts into Fall and the leaves transition into darker, more golden hues, along with reaching for that cozy sweater in the back of our closets, we also reach for the perfect Autumn playlist. Here are a few tracks for brisk mornings, cloudy days and bonfire nights.

1) Silly Things-Wild Child
There's no better way to start off an Autumn playlist than with a Wild Child tune. "Silly Things," along with the rest of their Fools album, capture emotion under distinctive acoustic melodies.
2) Paint-The Paper Kites
3) Love Love Love-Avalanche City
4) Weight Of It All-Handsome Ghost
5) Autumn Leaves-Ed Sheeran
6) Talk-Big Deal
7) Times Like These-Eden Project
8) Sleep On The Floor-The Lumineers
Years after their debut single "Ho Hey'', The Lumineers have finally invited us back for a taste of a more stirring and heavy album. With hints of solitude and escaping the past, the songs on this sophomore album are perfect for driving on the road or sitting by the fireside.
9) Warmth-Bastille
Another brilliant release this year was Bastille's "Wild World." Triumphant in its aim to electrify listeners, "Warmth" reminds us the importance of love in world full of tragedies.
10) Shine A Light-BANNERS
11) Girls With Accents-Fences
12) 29 #Strafford APTS-Bon Iver
13) You and I-Ingrid Michaelson
14) Habits Of My Heart-Jaymes Young
15) Stealing Cars-James Bay
16) Patient Love-Passenger
Passenger is one of my favorite artists, always delivering gentle and heartfelt lyrics like, "And though the sand may be washed by the sea, and the old will be lost in the new...though you will not wait for me, I'll wait for you." You can't help but want to listen to his songs under a starry night.
17) Northern Wind-City and Colour
18) Sunset Soon Forgotten-Iron & Wine
19) For The Better-Call Security
20) Boston-Augustana
This song has been the epitome of seeking change and moving forward in a period of confusion, and I'm deeply reminded of it every time we transition into the Fall season.
21) Last Smoke Before The Smokestorm-Benjamin Francis Leftwich
22) All The Pretty Girls-Kaleo
23) Tus Pies (Your Feet)-Nahko and Medicine for the People
24) Let's Be Still-The Head and the Heart
25) Brand New Day-Kodaline
Aside from cozying up to soulful songs, Autumn also brings upon whispers of change that linger in the air, allowing us to reminisce on the past while looking forward to what's in store. Here's to embracing the changing of the seasons and getting lost in the Autumn leaves.
