October (feat. Lil Peep)Hector Vae

Producer Hector Vae weaves elements of dark ambient and emo into hip-hop.

He may be unfamiliar to those who only listen to the mainstream, but his distinctive musicality has earned him solid support.

The piece he created with the late rapper Lil Peep perfectly matches the melancholic air of October.

This work portrays loneliness, self-destructive impulses, and an earnest desire to escape one’s current situation.

Its introspective themes and melancholic sound deeply resonate with a listener’s sentimental side.

Released as a single in January 2016, it had been previewed in October 2015 as a produced track.

It’s a song I’d deliberately recommend for those quiet autumn nights when you want to immerse yourself in music alone.

Frank is an American folk singer-songwriter whose harrowing experience of a fire accident at age eleven imparted a deeply melancholic tone to his music.

Among his works is “October,” a piece themed around the month of October.

It’s a folk song shaped by the quiet timbre of acoustic guitar and his introspective vocals that resonate deeply.

Recorded in 1994, it can be heard on the compilation album Fixin to Die.

Its meditative mood on the passage of time harmonizes beautifully with the sorrowful feeling of autumn, making it a perfect companion for a quiet night alone.

Among his works, there’s a gem perfect for long October nights tucked at the end of his debut album, Javier, released in August 2003.

This piece is a tender, beautiful jazz ballad that overlays the ache of lost love onto the October sky.

The trumpet of jazz maestro Roy Hargrove delicately traces the song’s poignant emotions, while the silky-smooth vocals and instrumentation melt into one another.

The result is a track perfectly suited for those who want to spend a quiet night in a slightly more sophisticated mood.

A bittersweet song that quietly traces the memories of a past romance along with the autumn wind.

It’s by the Norwegian singer-songwriter girl in red.

The warm yet melancholy tone of the acoustic guitar makes it perfect for long autumn nights.

It feels like a song about gratitude for days gone by and sorting out one’s feelings in order to move forward.

Released in October 2022, it follows her debut album, “if i could make it go quiet.” Aaron Dessner of The National participated as a producer, and his delicate sound design enhances the track’s appeal.

The track unfolds a sorrowful tale, told from the perspective of an old man, about the tragedy of ancient faiths fading under the surging tide of Christianization.

Majestic choral parts and an earth-shaking, repetitive rhythm seem to draw the listener onto an ancient battlefield.
