last novemberMachine Gun Kelly
If you have lovely memories of autumn, I recommend listening to “last november.” It’s a track released by Machine Gun Kelly, known as an actor and rapper.
Set to a mellow mid-tempo sound, the song conveys the feelings of a man who has lost someone precious.
The contrast between the joyful November he spent with a loved one and the lonely November he endures now is deeply poignant and moving.
Another appealing aspect of the song is how its detailed descriptions spark the listener’s imagination.
November HotelMad Season
The track I’m introducing this time is an instrumental number that exudes an emotional, hyper-charged atmosphere.
Featured on Mad Season’s album “Above,” released in March 1995, this song runs over ten minutes and delivers a heavy, dramatic arrangement that weaves in elements of blues and psychedelic rock.
Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready’s guitar solo truly stands out, and the song was first performed live at the Crocodile Cafe.
It’s a perfect piece to sink into on a deepening November night in autumn, lost in thought.
A classic recommended not only for grunge fans but also for anyone who wants to enjoy instrumental music.
