Apparently my ability to keep postings only to a thursday have proved poor. But hey you just get more of me and what could be better?
Top 10 - Songs with "Fall/Autumn"
10. Fall Children - AFI
Nothing sentimental @ all about this song. Would be pretty cool to play @ your front door though to scare away trick-or-treaters. Maybe i'm just a meany. But this reminds me of AFI and how much i wish they had stayed true to the AFI rather than Blaqk Audio. I love any song in which the rest of the band plays a part as back-up vocals as they have always created a great sense of power, so my kudos to the boys in this song for definitely not being a let down.
9. Watching Me Fall - the Cure
I have the American Psycho remix and it's more techno and dancy than any of the other songs on this list. But you have to love the Cure and everyone has a favorite from them. This one would surprisingly (to others) be mine.
8. Autumn Leaves - Nat King Cole
What makes you swoon more than Nat King Cole crooning. His description of fall is so vivid and the correlation of the seasons with love creates a romantic sense. If anyone should have been a part of the rat pack, it should have been Nat.
7. Autumn Shade - The Vines
I've had this album for longer than i can remember. A lot like the Pinback song in this list, there is an eeriness to it. Maybe it's a recurring theme in songs with the word autumn or fall in them. But The Vines have been around (in my music library) and i'm glad i was finally able to incorporate them into a list.
6. Grand Theft Autumn - Fall Out Boy
Say what you will about Fall Out Boy. I haven't listened to anything after "from under the cork tree" came out but from what i used to listen to them, this was one of my favorite songs. Sure I've developed my musical tastes substantially since my immediately post high school years, but can you ever really forget the songs you used to blast in your car when you finally got your freedom?
5. Sometimes in the Fall -
Dancy, French Pop-py. I think this song would be bettered as a remix but on it's own it does have the ability to stand out in a playlist or itunes library. I always imagine this might be a good song if you were walking around a city on your day off or just minding your own business. Just play it and imagine yourself walking around a busy city. The lyrics kind of explain a feeling you might get from just living life.
4. Every Man I Fall For - Cold War Kids
Fell like there is just something missing from this song but as a local band (Long Beach CA) they're pretty interesting. At about 1:10 the singers voice picks up strength and there is a sense of power that makes the song worth keeping on repeat for a while. Great song to listen to while taking a hot bath on a cold autumn night.
3. Autumn of the Seraphs - Pinback
I'm no "biggest fan" of pinback but i've come to listen to them and enjoy their subtle lyrics to more i listen. I've actually really only been listening to them for about 9 months. But this song has a eeriness about it. Yet a steady beat keeping it alive. I think it actually best encompasses the mood of fall/autumn especially around the halloween.
2. Fall For You - The Whitlams
Probably a band most of you have never heard of. Don't even know if they're still around. This song has a sad romantic tone to it. The singer always has this voice that sounds like he's from Sweden or some European country but actually the band is from Australia. The band as a whole is hit and miss with their songs, but the ones you do find are amazing treasures. Check out "blow up the pokies" if you need another Whitlams suggestion.
1. November - Azure Ray
Although technically there is no fall/autumn in the song title, November is a month in autumn/fall so i'm going to count it as one. Azure ray is one of those bands that becomes a favorite pretty soon after you start listening to them. Her voice is so amazing and sincere and the song reminds me of a verbal diary entry or a letter.
