Songs For Fall
« on: September 23, 2022, 05:05:20 AM »
Fall is here!  My fall playlist might be one of my favorites.  I've been tweaking it for quite awhile and really like the results.  Here are some of the highlights.  Share yours, and/or just talk about autumnal-feeling albums.

Autumn's Grey Solace - "Waning Faithful"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-6mt9XYUTs

Dark Tranquillity - "Through Ebony Archways"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oo50aDFNRg

In Flames - "Pallar Anders Visa"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEeqMUkSWO8

Justin King - "Something About Angels"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOqvZto5M_8

Kingfisher Sky - "Rise From the Flames"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0WyzRwttyE

King's X - "Honesty"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxBA4IItv58

Lacuna Coil - "When a Dead Man Walks"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCqTHzEXgWs

Love Outside Andromeda - "Something White and Sigmund"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GP-Ga-DE8ws

Michael Hedges - "Fusion of the Five Elements"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lIlGYbOw1c

Mike Dawes - "The Impossible"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9cTyjqpN9U

Nick Drake - "Hazey Jane I"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfYnXGV8PfM

Nightingale - "I Return"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_T2YlYssxCo

Nightrage - "The Howls of the Wolves"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m223rC6sIeA

Noumena - "Monument of Pain",
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am7Ju-j-1ZM

Opeth - "Haxprocess"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CNQjTtVRl8

Phil Keaggy - "Fragile Forest"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ-XAcdTYZY

Piano Magic - "The Unwritten Law"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3hl2dKwpyY

Ram-Zet - "Pray"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at79EmUDJQI

Trees of Eternity - "Hour of the Nightingale"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IWa9vmx8KY

Type O Negative - "Love You To Death",
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI6bA8eSYag

Witherscape - "Dead For Another Day"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIT1xFnWjbU

Some of these have many others that would work just as well.  A lot of them are just folky, acoustic, melancholic music, though a few other things slip through that are more halloween-ish, or for some reason just have a fall vibe to me, sometimes probably because I discovered and/or listened to them a lot in a fall.

No Agalloch? Very much an autumn/winter band for me.

Also Buddyhunter1 sent me this in a roulette...

Yeah, I have a separate list for winter.  Agalloch is one of those bands I kind of like, but never really fell in love with.  Their music feels more wintry to me though.

Historically I listen to a lot of Genesis and Sabbath in the fall.   No reason to change course now!

You've listed plenty of goodies...just like to highlights a few above from the "metalverse", as they are songs that don't often get mentioned, even from the artists. DT's Through Ebony Archways is beautiful (and, yes, very Fall-like). It's always been a favorite from Skydancer.

A lot of Type O Negative songs fit the fall them, especially from October Rust.

Nice list!

Opeth feels like November to me, and I will be doing a complete listen-through then, accompanied by reading Jordan Blum's new book.

Shout-out for the Phil Keaggy tune.  Awesome choice.

Fall is odd for me.  Definitely less happy/major music, but not yet quite as dark/heavy as winter.  I like a lot of acoustic stuff in the fall, things that I could potentially play/sing myself around a fire pit.  Dawes is good for the fall, Nick Drake, maybe some Cohen, lots of stuff really.  The time for Beach Boys is over lol.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I think classic prog in general is a very fall/winter genre. Mellotrons go great with a gray day. Early Phil Collins Genesis is very autumnal. A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering, especially. Evidence of Autumn which is Duke era is a great fall track.

Transatlantic and The Flower Kings are two other prog bands that remind me of fall. Moon Safari is another for whatever reason. I think a lot depends on the whether when I first got into an album.

"Now, October..." :) https://youtu.be/oz7E_BsKrVI

I don't generally separate fall and winter as far as my music associations in my brain go.  So most of this will apply to both seasons.  I also am an album listener so I have fewer individual songs and more bands/albums instead.  I think I do have a few more songs for winter though.

Katatonia - besides Lethean, any and all, but I did make a point to listen to The Fall of Hearts yesterday. :)

Riverside - pretty much their whole catalog too, and Lunatic Soul as well.  Wasteland was a fall/winter thing for me the year it came out.

Leprous - pretty much everything here too.  But the last three albums have been released in late summer or fall, and so was Bilateral, so much of my discovery period for those albums was fall.  And Tall Poppy Syndrome is very much a fall album for me. I don't know when it was released but I bought it in the fall of 2010 and have a lot of memories of driving around with it and taking walks and leaves crunching beneath my feet, etc.

For a specific song, My Domain from Borknagar reminds me of fall. (Hopefully 425 is enjoying it as we speak).  And their song Up North is a song for all seasons, and while I love the summer verse, the fall and winter verses are next level awesome.

Sentenced - Dead Leaves
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gP31FzPI9w

Ooh, that's a good one. Their Frozen album is probably their most "autumnal" (despite the title, I guess  :biggrin:)

"Now, October..." :) https://youtu.be/oz7E_BsKrVI

Lethean is so good...and for some reason I connected to it even more after I saw their "lockdown" streaming concert live, and they opened with it. Such weird times. And that concert felt so intimate, as if we truly were in the room with them (it wasn't super-high end production, but I always thought the camera work was excellent and did really make you feel "there")

Another fantastic one. One of my favorite songs that year.

I should add Fates Warning - A Pleasant Shade of Gray to my list.  I think overall FW has a fall/winter vibe for me, but that album in particular.

Yes!  I was so excited to hear them start with Lethean.  Very intimate and really special set.  It was so nice to have something like that so early during the lockdown.  And I love that the Dead Air release that they put out didn't include any fixes whatsoever; it wasn't a perfect performance, but it was special and it's nice to have it captured exactly as it was.

Fall is officially Opeth Season for me...

Specifically Blackwater Park is my go to fall album. The songs that represent it best are Bleak and Harvest.

Also "Patterns in the Ivy", "Still Patterns in the Ivy Pt. 2", and "Still Day Beneath the Sun". 

Pretty much anything from Opeth is fall to me, maybe also Porcupine Tree.

"Blackest Eyes" especially works, it's almost an Opeth song. 

Amorphis - Summer's End

Not just in the title  ;) Love the mood in this one. Great closer too.

Argh, should have had this one, it's definitely been a staple listen in many late summers/early falls. 

I'm sure I'll continue to occasionally think of songs I probably should have had in the list (although I was trying to limit it somewhat, though it quickly started getting out of hand, oh well), but here's another more recent one.

Kaki King - "Can't Touch This or That or You or My Face"

Came to say that Wind & Wuthering is my go-to autumn album. I see A Trick Of The Tail as a late-summer album, so both go hand-in-hand with September. And Then There Were Three and Duke feel like late-fall and early-winter albums to me. It's funny how those four just fit the latter-year seasons so well.

A lot of great tracks here and great thread idea! My first thought is "The Sun in September" by Matthew Halsall: https://open.spotify.com/track/0YeP4gSyzoUA8O09B0MBaF?si=82dfb4b6490c4ba3

I'm also a fan of the new age artist Jami Sieber:
