We have this new tradtion here at Lifestyle, so I put out the now seasonal playlist casting call to our fantastic team of contributors to forge the ultimate Autumn playlist. For those cosy all day in the coffee shop kind of days, this soundtrack has you covered. Our first taste comes from Naomi’s picks:
Harvest Moon by Neil Young
Vienna by Billie Joel
Pictures of You by The Cure
Sunday by The Cranberries
Knocking’ on Heavens’ Door by Bob Dylan
Now to Anna Claire’s idea of Autumn listening:
Rill Rill by Sleigh Bells
Heaven by Talking Heads
From one of my fellow editors to another, Izzy has her mix ready to go; and with a track titled ‘Autumn’ I have a feeling she understood the assignment.
Big Black Car by Gregory Isavok
Autumn by Lists
Rivers and Roads by The Head and the Heart
Anni is next in line to the aux cord with some 2000s Gilmore Girls vibes. Feel free to ignore the deeper meaning next time your swamped in textbooks;
Wrapped Up in Books by Belle and Sebastian
Straight from Katie’s corner; three perfect runs in pumpkin spiced audio entertainment:
I’m Your Man by Mitski
There It Goes by Maisie Peters
Guestlist by Katie Gregson-Macleod
An impressive six suggestions follow from our very own Lifestyle contributor Rosa Kim!
Jolene by The Staves
The Other Woman by Jeff Buckley
My Old Flame by Billie Holiday
Joy of My Life by Chris Stapleton
Buddy’s Rendezvous by Lana Del Rey and Father John Misty
Neither One of Us (Wants to be the First to Say Goodbye) by Gladys Knight and The Pips
By now you’ll be possessed by the spirit of dusky falling leaves and that classic Edinburgh sunset. Whether rain or shine, a little musical indulgence always seems to be the answer. If there was ever a time to be the main character, with your own personal soundtrack to boot, it’s now – as those golden treelines look ever so cinematic. To close I have a few of my own ear tingling fall top picks. Let’s meet up again for the winter edition!
oh baby – electric lady sessions by LCD Soundsystem
Babyyy by Grace Ives
Astorias by Oklou, Zero Castigo
Cognitive Dissonance by Sophie Holoham
