This is a song called “Mr.

November,” released in 2005 by The National, an American rock band based in New York.

It’s an up-tempo, very refreshing rock tune.

The ringing, dry guitar tones evoke the clear autumn skies of November.

November is a special month in the United States because of the presidential election.

The National isn’t necessarily a political band, but after releasing this track, they even performed at campaign events for former President Obama.

However, the song was originally written about politician John Kerry’s presidential bid.

It sings about how difficult and stressful it is to run for office.

In a country that thinks seriously about its own future, this song naturally carries a special meaning.

The Weeknd, who sensually sings while crossing over various genres like trip-hop, ambient, and dubstep, teams up with Daft Punk, the rock stars of the French electro scene.

The accompaniment prominently features funky ’80s grooves and analog synth sounds reminiscent of “Get Lucky,” which is quite distinctive.

It’s a refined, mellow, yet danceable track.

American Football is a three-piece rock band from the United States.

Their song “Never Meant” is a poignant ballad, featuring the line, “Goodbye—on that autumn night I realized our love had ended.” The guitar technique of arpeggios—playing the notes of a chord separately—is exceptionally beautiful and further enhances the song’s lyrical worldview.

Also, the closing lyric, “Let me tell myself that everything between you and me was always leading to this outcome,” conveys a lovely autumnal atmosphere.

She also sings, “This song will probably be a big hit!” It’s bright and uplifting! Since a woman in a Santa costume appears, they might also be aiming for a seasonal song.

Set against Miami in November, a track portraying the warm climate and unique lifestyle was released by Babyface Ray in April 2015.

Included on the mixtape “MIA Season,” this song is regarded as an important work from the early stages of his career.

It skillfully depicts escaping the winter cold for Miami, time spent on a yacht, shopping with his kids, and the blend of real street life with the drive for success.

Drawing on his background as a Detroit rapper while contrasting it with Miami’s warmth, the result is a richer, more nuanced track.

It’s a perfect song for those seeking heartwarming music during the seasonal shift from autumn to winter.
