Get ready to experience a wonderful Autumn mood with ultimate magnificent music. Through this playlist, Rock Era Magazine gives your soul the music needed for October mood. We make sure to satisfy your spirits with a multi-generic playlist!
It may surprise you that we are starting our playlist with a Swallow the Sun hit! But, Songs from the North is a good track to warm up your mood. This track is an emotional one, carries wonderful acoustic tunes with vivid and warm clean vocals by Mikko Kotamaki. The music takes you to the breathtaking landscapes of Finland and the beautiful northern lights.
Steven Wilson’s Pariah is a calm and atmospheric track. It brings the breeze of the early cold mornings, the smell of rainy days, and the pain of being lonely. The fusion of electro music/ indie mood with progressive rock pattern is amazingly composed.
After this warming up, we need just to take it to a higher level, and when it comes to October and doom music mood, we should mention Katatonia whose music carries a beautiful depressive rock style contains many doom influences. Sistere is a melodic depressive track with low pitch and killing depressive guitar solo.
Well, now you recognize the shift, Katatonia gives us the presence of guitar tunes we need and the track somehow carries a classic rock mood, so the shift from Katatonia to Lynyrd Skynyrd is somehow applicable. The Last Rebel is a victorious song, a man who leaves everything behind and follows his path bravely.The warm guitar tunes with lively key sounds fire the needed warmth for cold days.
“a blank face in the windowpane!” No Opeth fan can forget this amazing verse from Windowpane which marks the timeless Damnation! The kings of progressive music is a wanted choice in cold mornings.
When it comes to sorrow and cold, Draconian exists! This track of Draconian is really outstanding, you can embrace fields through those amazing folk tunes and experience the sense of nocturne through the catchy vocal performance.
Nick Cave’s gothic musical fusion is absolutely relevant to Autumn, especially his “No More Shall We Part” which is an emotional, sad, and darkened one.
When it comes to Autumn, Jazz music is needed and I think it is the best way to reduce those feelings of pain, and Frank Sinatra is one of the best choices. I can’t find the right words to describe such a masterpiece as “My Way”.
Bon Jovi’s music is an enjoyable meal for sure. Their warm and melodic beats give you the company you need. I select the acoustic one because it is full of heat and vivid performance whether in the musical performance of vocal performance. So, I thought, it could a good way to get out such doom darkened mood we created above.
I think this track is a beautiful choice to enrich our playlist. “Apogevma Sto Dentro” is a famous Greek track originally performed by Alkinoos Ioannidis, the track talks about embracing nature and the impact of romance on the soul. The selected version is a famous live version performed by 2 Greek music legends Haris Alexiou and Sokratis Malamas alongside Ioannidis. This version is closer to rock and pop-rock mood. It starts with catchy acoustic tunes followed by an astonishing nai solo (flute). I know, you may feel that the presence of a Greek track could be strange, but try it!
The voice of the nightingale is the best choice to hear before taking off your headphones. Water and Wine is one of Aleah‘s most famous solo tracks. The queen of gothic rock handles pure feelings of sorrow and overthinking through her angelic voice and breathtaking gothic acoustic guitar melodies.
Finally, I wish you a great and warm Fall time, hope you enjoy our playlist!
