Your fall music playlist

Whether you’re tromping through a corn maze in the evening chill, picking vibrant leaves from the brilliant trees or cuddled in a blanket with your favorite book or significant other, fall brings out some of the nicest weather and moments of the year. It also inspires a flavor change in playlists and music libraries.

With its ardent sunlight and nippy breezes, fall deserves a music that is like a rustic streetside coffee shop: warm, but frequently interrupted by the incisive breeze from an open door. It should dance between long-sleeve and short-sleeve, hot and cold and hint an innuendo with the coming winter.

Here are the top ten fall listening suggestions from the Aggie Radio staff and yours truly. Follow Aggieradio on Spotify and search for the playlist “Songs for Fall” to listen. Do it before November 25th when the deluge of holiday cheer is upon you.
