Thanks for listening this morning.

I’ve always found that Listening to certain music at specific times of the year can evoke powerful emotions and enhance our connection to the songs that we choose to put on. Music has the ability to amplify the essence of each season, making us feel the change in weather, amount of sunlight, and more, all around us. We're going to take a look at 6 Of The Best Rock Songs To Turn Up During The Fall.

But really, there are songs that fit best in each season. Not just fall. In the bitter, cold, snow-filled (maybe?) days of winter, the haunting melodies of dark and dreary rock compositions or the warmth of acoustic folk tunes can almost blend together with the quiet beauty of snow-covered landscapes. The gentle strumming of a guitar can evoke the coziness of a fireside gathering, while the ethereal notes of a Sabbath tune for instance can transport us to a snowy cave on a mountainside.

As spring blooms, we often crave upbeat, energetic tunes that match the vibrant rebirth of nature. The cheerful melodies of an upbeat rock song or the melodic rhythms of something lighter like Dave Matthews Band can perfectly complement the blossoming flowers and the return of life to the outdoors.

Summer invites us to embrace carefree, sun-soaked moments. The rhythms of Sublime, 311, or the breezy harmonies of surf rock set the stage for beach trips, outdoor festivals, and lazy afternoons by the pool, creating a soundtrack for relaxation and adventure.

Autumn's arrival calls for mellower, contemplative sounds. The soulful voice of Jay Buchanan from Rival Sons or Ayron Jones can resonate with the melancholy beauty of falling leaves and the anticipation of the coming winter.

In essence, choosing music in harmony with the seasons enriches our sensory experience, allowing us to savor the unique qualities of each time of year. It's a powerful reminder that music is not just a backdrop to our lives but a conduit for our connection to the world and its ever-changing feel.

As you make your plans of what you're going to do with the family this Autumn, Let's take a look at 6 of the best rock songs to crank up during The Fall!

With Talk of leaves falling, and the overall feel of the tune, this one has Fall Written all over it. It's bitter sweet, just like the end of Summer!

Even though these are not what the lyrics are about.  I feel like this almost sounds like it's the end of Summer and it's a new Day as we head into Autumn.  Such a great dark, chill yet heavy vibe.

With the days shortening in Fall, this song just works.  It sounds like there's an eerieness to it, something off-balance of sorts, yet with a beautiful melody that comes.  Fits so well in the Autumn air!

October is that spooky month.  But this song, though done by creepy band, The Misfits, is a positive sounding journey into Fall.  With a good vibe, yet still getting you ready for Halloween!

Well, the video adds to this one.  But thinking about being innocent, like a kid and how the fall brings more rain and things change - this song fits perfectly on your playlist for the months leading into the holiday season.

Ok, so maybe it's because I love this song.  But this give me a fall rock kind of feel.  And with the title, it alludes to things which can stay the same or pertinent year round!
