Fall is a season of contrasts. The leaves present an array of colors, and warm sunny days bring chilly, rainy nights. Much like autumn, this playlist blends bright whimsical melodies with darker tones and more sinister thoughts.

In the midst of autumn, when weather can’t quite make up it’s mind, it seems fitting to bring together a collection of songs that capture the ups and downs of the season, with the warmth of summer fading and the darkness of the approaching winter. Though don’t be fooled, even the brightest tracks on the list have something ominous bubbling under the surface — perfect for spooky season.
