How about a song like this—melancholic yet rhythmically flowing—for autumn? His medium-tempo ballads are truly the best.

The feature with Selena Gomez is irresistible.

September In The RainDinah Washington

DINAH WASHINGTON – SEPTEMBER IN THE RAIN

Dinah Washington, the great female singer known as the Queen of the Blues.

She created many masterpieces, but the song I especially recommend is “September in the Rain.” Originally written as a song for the 1937 film Melody for Two, it’s now also beloved as a jazz standard.

Its lyrics, which beautifully portray a poignant heartbreak in the September rain, are truly wonderful—so be sure to check out the Japanese translation as well.

September DovesLost Dog Street Band

September Doves

Lost Dog Street Band captivates with songs that honor the traditions of American folk and country music while weaving in a modern sensibility.

This piece, included on the duo Benjamin Tod and Ashley Mae’s April 2016 album “Rage and Tragedy,” is a stirring track centered on themes of past pain, disappointment, and the possibility of renewal.

As the protagonist revisits places from childhood memories, the song portrays their confrontation with present hardships, set against a melancholic musical tone.

The deeply emotive melodies of acoustic guitar and fiddle make it a perfect song for September, when hearts are easily moved by the changing of the seasons.

Be sure to check it out.

Don’t Look Back in AngerOasis

Oasis – Don’t Look Back In Anger (Official Video)

It’s one of Oasis’s best-known and signature songs, needless to say.

With a sound that carries a trace of late-summer languor and Liam Gallagher’s vocals, it’s a very dramatic track.

When I think of autumn, this song comes to mind—how about you? This is another one that every music fan should definitely know.
