With the cold hand of Autumn knocking on our doors, it’s time to get into the spirit of things! One of the best ways to set the autumnal tone is with some music. The writer Annie Proulx said, “You know, one of the tragedies of real life is that there is no background music,” and I couldn’t agree more. However, we can do the next best thing and put on some headphones and play our music wherever we go. In order to do that, we need an appropriate playlist for the occasion. Below is a compiled list of some songs perfect for the cold morning commutes, cosy late nights inside and are perfect for the Season of the Witch(es). The playlist primarily features genres such as soft rock, alternative, indie and has music spanning from the 1950s to the 2020s. Happy listening!
