A Seasonal Playlist | FALL FLAVORS

Our windows have been opened to let in the crisp air (that’s here at least for today!), our front door has been decked out with a seasonal wreath and doormat, and today I purchased my first Yankee Candle of the season- a true sign that I’m ready for Autumn’s arrival! The next step? Share this year’s Fall playlist.

This time of year is always comforting to me, because I enjoy comfy sweaters, hot drinks, the changing of the leaves, bonfires, and just all things cozy. When selecting music for Autumn listening, I tend to veer towards haunting or calming melodies. The trouble is finding different tracks for each year’s playlist (though it’s easy to stick to traditional favorites), because I like to associate specific songs with each year’s memories. So, a fresh Fall playlist is a might important tradition in this house! On this year’s playlist, you’ll find pretty mellow stuff that just makes you want to cuddle up by the fire! Due to technical difficulties, I am unable to embed the playlist in this post at this time, but you can click through to Grooveshark to have a listen!

    Nice! Bonus points for Mason Jennings :) Love him, even though he kind of gives me the blues. It’s a nice cool gray day, perfect to cozy up and listen to the rest.

    I have been LOVING this playlist, I even linked to it on my blog as well. And I just realized why the Mason Jennings song is so haunting; it’s about the day Senator Paul Wellstone and his wife died in a plane crash. It took me many listens before I realized that…thanks for posting this. xo
