Herbst

I am lazy. I am also legitamately contemplating about which favorite artist of mine to write about next. In the meantime, voila!

The air is getting more brisk and is starting to act like a natural caffeine again, the warm hues of the leaves didn't wake you up first. I love fall. It always smells so clean. It's very refreshing.

Here's what I hear when the fiery leaves start dancing and in the morning I become a dragon:

Anything by Iron and Wine, Death Cab For Cutie, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Glen Phillips, The Damnwells, William Fitzsimmons R.E.M., Jeffrey Foucault, Kris Delmhorst, Ben Folds, and Paul Simon

Jimmy Eat World's album Futures

John Mayer's album Continuum

All of Coldplay's albums excluding Viva La Vida

Steve Tannen's Big Senorita album

To get into specifics, here's one of my favorites songs. I first heard this in 6th or 7th grade. It's just stuck to me. This track overflows with whispy instuments and fluent piano. Jamie Cullum's "All At Sea" sounds like the listener is already there within 30 seconds. At least I am. It's not smooth enough to be in summer. This track's ripped edges makes the perfect soundtrack for a walk in the sea of fiery, noisy, crispy leaves starting in the next few weeks. It's different than what I normally listen to. This is one of my polka-dot songs. Polka-dots make me smile, so maybe this one will bring you amusement, too.


Title: "Autumn" in German
