There are all kinds of autumn-themed songs—tracks with “September” in the title or lyrics, songs centered on autumnal plants like cosmos and pampas grass, and pieces that tell various stories set in the fall.

In this article, I’ll introduce songs that are perfect for autumn, especially recommended for people in their 70s.

Focusing mainly on music from the 1970s, I’ve selected a range of songs that depict autumn in different ways, so please look for an autumn song that resonates with you.

I also recommend listening while reading the lyrics—you’ll be able to immerse yourself even more deeply in each song’s world.
