Taylor Swift – august (Official Lyric Video)

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift continues to captivate fans with her diverse musicality.

Her masterpiece Folklore, released in July 2020, drew major attention as a work that weaves stories of fictional characters.

Among its tracks, this one, which seems to bottle the atmosphere of late summer, overflows with bittersweet allure.

Told from the perspective of a woman who gave everything to a fleeting summer romance with a boy, only to end up unrewarded, it conveys her pure feelings—knowing she wasn’t the one he truly wanted, yet betting everything on the moment—set against a dreamy, reverb-drenched soundscape.

Her brilliant performance of the song at the Grammys in March 2021 is also a must-see.

It’s the perfect song for when you want to sink into a slightly sentimental mood at summer’s end.

Slice is a band that has continually pursued a unique musical identity rooted in post-hardcore.

Active with an unchanging lineup since their formation in 1998, their sound enjoys enduring popularity here in Japan.

The piece they’ve released ahead of their October 2025 album, “Horizons/West,” is this work.

Centered on the theme of human karma—destroying one’s own symbol of good fortune and thus becoming burdened with a curse—and the subsequent process of rebirth, it presents a bleak yet beautiful worldview.

Its cinematic post-rock textures dramatize both the weight of fateful bonds and the hope that persists despite it all.

Highly recommended for those who want to sink deeply into a contemplative listening experience.

Ben&Ben is an indie folk-pop band that enjoys immense popularity in the Philippines.

With a sound that feels nostalgic and warm, they’re a captivating group that wins listeners’ hearts.

Among their works, a song perfect for autumn is this ballad, whose gentle melody sinks deep into the heart.

It was reportedly written by the frontman based on the loneliness of a long-distance relationship felt during their North American tour, and its aching resonance conveys the growing longing for someone you can’t meet.

Released in November 2023, the track is included on the album “The Traveller Across Dimensions.” It also features on the soundtrack of the Filipino drama “Can’t Buy Me Love,” making it a beloved song that many people relate to.

On a slightly chilly night, try listening while thinking of someone dear to you.

AutumnBombay Bicycle Club

It features a guitar riff that stirs the restlessness of youth and a somewhat wistful melodic line.

Bombay Bicycle Club, a British band grounded in indie rock, shifts their sound with each album toward folk or electronica.

Their debut came with the 2009 album “I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose,” which includes a track titled after autumn.

The album was made as the members were finishing their student lives and beginning to devote themselves fully to music.

It feels as if their fresh sensibility—akin to an initial creative impulse—has been distilled into the band’s exhilarating sound.

Subtle emotions—nostalgia for passing seasons and a vague anxiety about the future—overlap with the clear autumn air, stirring the listener’s heart.

It’s a track that seems to quietly keep you company on contemplative autumn nights.
