Inspired by @benbrugler, I put together a list of the songs that would be on my Fall soundtrack.
These songs make me want to do one of three things: 1) Wear a flannel shirt and grow a beard 2) Wake up early on a frosty morning to drink hot cider 3) Jump in the car with no set destination–just to look at the changing leaves.
Sigur Ros – Hoppipolla
The New Amsterdams – Hanging on for Hope
Matt Pond PA – New Hampshire
Death Cab for Cutie – The Sound of Settling
Mogwai – Take Me Somewhere Nice
M83 – Kim & Jessie
Damien Rice – Cannonball
Youth Group – Forever Young
Minus The Bear – Pachuca Sunrise
Explosions in the Sky – Your Hand in Mine
Fall is my favorite season, but I also find it the saddest of the seasons. Even though it’s the death of summer (or what little warmth we actually get up here in NE Ohio), I think that Autumn also represents hope and imagination. It’s usually the time of the year that I feel the most self-reflective and the most creative. I hope these song choices reflect that.
With that being said, I couldn’t think of a more perfect month than October for the release of the movie Where the Wild Things Are.
