Living in a desert, we’re more likely to hear the rustling of cactus needles than the rustling of leaves. This means that we have to try a little harder to get in the fall mood. With the ability to completely transform your spirits merely with a few bars, music is one of the best ways to get in the mood for sweater weather and hot chocolate. Here are a few songs recommended by Billboard (and us) to add to your playlist to get that long-awaited fall feeling:
“Autumn in New York” by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong
From the first few seconds to its sultry conclusion, “Autumn in New York” transports you straight to Central Park surrounded by romantic fall foliage. It’s the perfect song for a rainy autumn day or for a mellow dinner with your loved ones.
“Fade Into You” by Mazzy Star
This acoustic gem feels like the snuggliest sweater on the ears. Let it encompass you during your afternoon commute to smooth out any remaining hardships from the day. Pro-tip: It sounds even better over Chrysler speakers.
“My Silver Lining” by First Aid Kit
“My Silver Lining” is a subtle pick-me-up perfect for any fall occasion. Add this to your playlist for a special rustic feeling as you drive through Avondale.
“Harvest Moon” by Neil Diamond
Neil’s romantic ode is a classic song beloved by listeners of all generations. It’s especially great for cloudy days when you’re curled up with your sweetheart or when you’re driving your Jeep down to the pumpkin patch with the kids.
“Sound of Silence” by Simon & Garfunkel
This is a song that deserves to be on every playlist. Its hauntingly beautiful chords paired with Simon & Garfunkel’s perfect harmonies make this a great song to enjoy at home, work, or in the car. It’s rumored that listening to this during the fall makes one immediately more sophisticated.
“Spirit in the Sky” by Norman Greenbaum
Frankly, anything from “Remember the Titans” instantly evokes fall feelings. Listen to this song and you’re automatically ready for the next Cardinals game.
“Sweater Weather” by The Neighbourhood
It’s self-explanatory. For instant sweater weather, put this song on your fall playlist.
These fall songs are meant to be on your driving playlist. Make sure you do them the justice of listening to them over superior speakers. To accomplish this, we recommend Chrysler or Jeep speakers. Stop by our dealership to test them out or visit us online to see your options. Happy fall!
