augustTaylor Swift

Taylor Swift – august (Official Lyric Video)

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift continues to captivate fans with her diverse musicality.

Her masterpiece Folklore, released in July 2020, drew major attention as a work that weaves stories of fictional characters.

Among its tracks, this one, which seems to bottle the atmosphere of late summer, overflows with bittersweet allure.

Told from the perspective of a woman who gave everything to a fleeting summer romance with a boy, only to end up unrewarded, it conveys her pure feelings—knowing she wasn’t the one he truly wanted, yet betting everything on the moment—set against a dreamy, reverb-drenched soundscape.

Her brilliant performance of the song at the Grammys in March 2021 is also a must-see.

It’s the perfect song for when you want to sink into a slightly sentimental mood at summer’s end.

A Lover’s concertoSarah Vaughan

A Lover’s Concerto

It’s a heartwarming commercial that shows, with photos, how a boy’s family grows—like when his younger brother is born and when they welcome a dog.

You can feel the desire to build a cherished home where the family can live together for a long time.

The background music is an arrangement of “A Lover’s Concerto,” which was created based on “Minuet.” While “Minuet” is in 3/4 time, “A Lover’s Concerto” is in 4/4 time.

The version used in the commercial features a warm arrangement that makes use of humming, which suits the mood of the ad very well.

Accidentally In LoveCounting Crows

Accidentally In Love (From “Shrek 2” Soundtrack)

A pop-rock number with an irresistibly bright sound that kicks up the energy, featured in the opening of the film Shrek 2.

It was created by the highly acclaimed American alternative rock band Counting Crows.

The song captures the exhilarating feeling of unexpectedly falling in love—the way the world suddenly looks vibrant and colorful—set to a sunny, cheerful melody.

The lyrics, based on the vocalist’s real-life experience, convey the thrill of romance in a direct, heartfelt way.

Released in May 2004, the track received worldwide acclaim, including a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

It’s a happy rock tune guaranteed to lift your spirits—perfect for a morning mood boost or a lively drive.

AbyssYungblud

Anime “Kaiju No. 8” Non-Credit Opening | YUNGBLUD — “Abyss” | Airs/streams every Saturday from 11:00 PM

A number by YUNGBLUD, a British singer-songwriter who has won support from today’s youth for his rebellious spirit and diverse musicality.

It was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime Kaiju No.

8.

This track fuses YUNGBLUD’s raw energy with the anthemic power of his co-producer, Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons.

The punk-driven impulse and hard rock sound, which slam into the protagonist’s anguish over transformation and fighting spirit, are enough to get your blood pumping just by listening! Released in March 2024, the song is also included on the album Idols.

It’s the kind of track that will give you a push when you want to unleash the emotions you hold inside.

AutumnBombay Bicycle Club

Autumn

It features a guitar riff that stirs the restlessness of youth and a somewhat wistful melodic line.

Bombay Bicycle Club, a British band grounded in indie rock, shifts their sound with each album toward folk or electronica.

Their debut came with the 2009 album “I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose,” which includes a track titled after autumn.

The album was made as the members were finishing their student lives and beginning to devote themselves fully to music.

It feels as if their fresh sensibility—akin to an initial creative impulse—has been distilled into the band’s exhilarating sound.

Subtle emotions—nostalgia for passing seasons and a vague anxiety about the future—overlap with the clear autumn air, stirring the listener’s heart.

It’s a track that seems to quietly keep you company on contemplative autumn nights.

AutumnCouch

Couch – Autumn (Official Lyric Video)

Couch is a band attracting attention for their pop sound infused with funk and soul.

They have a unique origin story: the members began writing songs remotely from different locations.

The work I’d recommend for the fall is this single released in October 2022.

The track seems to capture both the faint loneliness brought by the changing seasons and the joy found in the warmth of human touch.

Its comfortable groove and vibrant horn tones evoke the buoyant feeling of walking down a golden-lined avenue.

It’s not merely bittersweet—you can savor the gentle happiness of autumn.

Give it a listen as a companion for a leisurely weekend stroll.

AutumnPUSCIFER

Puscifer – Autumn

Puscifer is a project known for its diverse sound that fuses experimental rock and electronic music.

Among their works, the one I recommend for a melancholy autumn is the final track on the album Money Shot, released in October 2015.

This piece is built on a dreamlike soundscape that evokes both the loneliness brought by the season’s end and a solemn premonition of renewal to come.

It’s a majestic, introspective work, perfectly suited to close out a classic that reached No.

30 on the Billboard 200.

If run-of-the-mill autumn songs don’t quite satisfy you, be sure to give it a listen!
