Autumn Playlist

[BunnyRuddington]

In the recent thread about making Autumn more lovely a couple of MNers mentioned an Autumn Playlist. This is something that has just not occurred to me.

So what songs would you have on your playlist?

I'll start with:

Wake me up when September Ends by Green Day?

Flying Shoes - Rumer
Spooks - Louis Armstrong
This Ole House - Shakin Stevens
September - Earth, Wind and Fire
Home - Philip Philips
Moondance - Van Morrison
Magic Moments - Perry Como
Love of the Heart Divine -;Chris de Burgh
This Old Car - David Wilson
Parking Blankets - Eels
October Forever - J. Shields & The Honey Spoons
Monster Mash - Bobby "Boris" Pickett & The Crypt Kickers
I'm Not Calling You a Liar - Florence and The Machine
Punky Pumpkin - Rosemary Clooney
November Rain - Guns n Roses
Scarecrow - Counting Crows
The Ecstasy of Flight (I Love the Night) - Chris de Burgh
Raining in Baltimore - Counting Crows
Monster - The Automatics
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo - Verna Felton
Ghost Town - The Specials
Everybody Eats When They Come to My House - Cab Carloway
Cauliflowers Fluffy - Lizzy Hardingham
Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair - Artic Monkeys
The Wobblin' Goblin - Rosemary Clooney
Spooky, Scary Skelton - Andrew Gold
The Boogie Monster - Gnarls Barkley
The Werewolf - Paul Simons
Hotel California - Eagles
Ghostbusters - Jay Parker Junior
The Best Day - Taylor Swift
Vampire - Dominic Fike
Autumn Leaves - Ed Sheeran
Goodnight Sweet Witches - Reclaiming
Umbrella -:Manic Street Preachers
Ain't No Rest For the Wicked -;Caged the Elephant
Golden Slumbers - Elbow
Little Talks - Of Monsters and Men
Statues - Amy Macdonald
I Put a Spell on You - Wishing on a Star
Witch For a Night - Sugar Pie DeSanto

It's all very subjective. I prefer the Manic Street Preachers version of Umbrella and to me it feels Autumny. The Artic Monkeys song mentions bonfires. This Old Car says about Starbursts from Halloween. Some of the songs are for Halloween.

Have fun putting your playlist together

It's Packing Blankets- Eels

Can't believe no-one has replied! I was just reading the other thread and clicked on this. Lovely idea, I can't wait to have a listen to these and make my playlist. Anything by Hollow Coves feels a bit autumnal to me with all the lyrics about woods and fires

Firework by Katie Perry

I thought this thread would be much more popular too!!

Lots of Type O Negative 😬

Great playlist, so sorry but just to point out it’s Arctic Monkeys not Artic (I noticed you used it twice so maybe unlikely to be a typo).

My suggestions:

California Dreamin’ by The Mamas and The Papas
Golden Brown by The Stranglers
Autumn Almanac by The Kinks
Undone (The Sweater Song) by Weezer
Harvest Moon by Neil Young
Grey in LA by Loudon Wainwright III
We’re Going to be Friends by The White Stripes
Hounds of Love- either by Kate Bush (the original) or my choice the Futureheads
One Night in October by Little Comets

Autumn Almanac - the Kinks
Pale September - Fiona Apple

I like to bellow along to Autumn Song by the Manics in the car. Absolute belter.

Great idea, and love all the suggestions. I'd add Forever Autumn by Justin Hayward from War of The Worlds

Thanks, CallMeRisley

@Pumpkin314 That's one of my earliest memories. It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Gorgeous.

@AutumnPlaylist

Thanks, CallMeRisley

It just stood out to me because I actually have a T-shirt from Glastonbury from when they played there with the full line up of bands that played and right at the top, headline act, it says Artic Monkeys! Misspelled on the official Glastonbury T-shirt! I like your taste in music on your playlist 👍🏻

I’ve thought of some more:

Rainy days and Mondays by The Carpenters
Nightswimming by REM
Gone Til November by Wyclef Jean
Sun it Rises by Fleetfoxes

And after @AutumnPlaylist mentioned Arctic Monkeys, I’ll throw in their song Fireside.

Oh, that t-shirt misprint must have been annoying!

OooooooooOOOOhhhhh I love Autumn music! I love listening to the whole album Red by Taylor Swift, it's so autumnal sounding.

Just off to look at my Autumnal playlist on Amazon Music and will report back!

Apologies for my naff taste in music here is my autumn playlist for anyone who doesn't mind the naffness

Oh also Hawthorne by The Unthanks and possibly also their song Magpie.

September Song by JP Cooper (DH and I massively disagree on whether September counts as Autumn but I say it does).

So also adding Cry for You by September
