Mix No. 11: Fall Vibes
Ah, the fall mix has finally arrived. The time of year where I fully get to embrace the part of me that loves a good cozy sweater, drinking cup of coffee (or tea), and having indie folk music playing from my speakers. Over the years fall has been one of my favorite playlists to make. I think the only occasion that sees more playlist than fall is Christmas. When I first started college, what feels like a million years ago now, I would create these playlists to keep me company on my long walks to and from class. They each served their own little purpose given my mood or the weather. Pretty nerdy, right? Probably.
When I made this one I used a really chill Saturday morning as the inspiration. The weather has been pretty warm (bummer) so no sweaters were involved. I just kinda tuned everything out (even my phone) and just enjoyed a cup of coffee while listening to music. It was pretty relaxing, and I wonder why I don't just do that more often. When I set out to make a fall playlist I consider, like anyone would, the mood. Fall tends to be a little more gloomy because the days are much shorter. The weather is chilly, the leaves are changing (if you're lucky enough to have those), and sometimes you even get rain.
The music in this playlist fits that same general feeling. It's a mixture of indie folk and some classic tunes. All of them fitting together to convey, what I liked to call, the feeling of some "fall" photo that appears on Pinterest (or something like that). You know the ones. With the girl in the messy bun sweater combo drinking a cup of coffee on a cloudy day? Hopefully I have succeeded?
