I believe that every new season, every new chapter needs a playlist. Taking an hour or two to curate the perfect fall playlist is a must-do once the humidity begins to lift.

What sounds more idyllic than relaxing with a warm cup of tea, a fuzzy blanket, and watching the leaves fall and cars pass? As L.M. Montgomery said, “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

Here are the songs (some old, some new) that I come back to every autumn.

1. Idaho – Gregory Alan Isakov
2. Charlie Boy – The Lumineers
3. So Far Around the Bend – The National
4. Learning to Love Again – Mat Kearney
5. River – Leon Bridges
6. Box of Stones – Benjamin Francis Leftwich
7. Game Shows Touch Our Lives – The Mountain Goats
8. Man on Fire – Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes
9. Inn Town – Whiskeytown
10. Blood – The Middle East
