Be Your ManRhys Lewis

Rhys Lewis – Be Your Man (Lyric Video)

Over the delicate piano of the intro rides a lyrical male vocal, and I imagine many were instantly moved by this beginning.

It’s a song by the British singer-songwriter Rhys Lewis, and its contrasting yet highly effective arrangement leaves a lasting impression.

It represents a kind of love song that you don’t often hear in Japan.

LIKE YXU WXULD KNXW (AUTUMN TREES)Kordhell x Scarlxrd x CORPSE

Kordhell x Scarlxrd x CORPSE – LIKE YXU WXULD KNXW (AUTUMN TREES) (Lyric video)

This is a collaboration by three distinctive artists: Kordhell, a leading figure in the phonk scene; Scarlxrd, a pioneer of trap metal; and CORPSE, whose deep, low voice is truly one of a kind.

The sound blends heavy beats with aggressive screams and rapping, which is captivating, yet it somehow evokes a touch of autumnal melancholy.

The lyrics likely portray feelings of loneliness and inner turmoil, set against a desolate autumn backdrop.

Released in October 2022, the track is also included on the EP Psychx.

It’s the kind of song that might resonate deeply on nights when a run-of-the-mill autumn tune just won’t do.

Forever AutumnLake of Tears

Forever Autumn

As a tear-jerking song perfect for autumn, I’d like to introduce “Forever Autumn.” It’s a track by the Swedish metal band Lake of Tears, dedicated to a member who passed away.

A gentle ballad, it gives voice to the sorrow of autumn days.

The somewhat pained vocals make it all the more moving.

By the way, the album of the same name that includes this song features other autumn-themed tracks as well.

Why not listen to them together?

November Spawned a MonsterMorrissey

November Spawned a Monster

A masterpiece supported by many for its heavy, profound lyrics, “November Spawned a Monster.” This track was released by the British singer-songwriter Morrissey.

At first glance, it comes across like a Halloween song.

However, the lyrics actually carry a message that throws a stone into the pond of public opinion.

What was Morrissey thinking when he wrote it? If you’re curious, be sure to look into it.

September MornNeil Diamond

Neil Diamond – September Morn (Audio)

Autumn is when the heat begins to ease and it becomes a comfortable season to spend time in, isn’t it? I imagine many people love that gentle climate.

With that in mind, I’d like to introduce “September Morn.” This song is by singer-songwriter Neil Diamond.

Released in 1979, it became established throughout the 1980s as a classic autumn tune.

Its lyrics portray a man who, on an autumn morning, feels the wonder of life.

Why not listen to it and soak in the calm climate of autumn yourself?
