Top Ten Fall Inspiring Songs

Fall is a time when students go back to school, and the normal routine resumes after a wonderful summer filled with all kinds of activities. In the summer, there are outdoor parties, trips to the beach, laid back relaxing times, and warm, incredible weather. But then, fall has to come, and change the tides to a whole different theme.

What reminds me of fall is anything that has to do with school, leaves turning red and orange and falling off the trees, the weather getting a little cooler, and the days getting shorter. Here are the top ten songs that bring to mind and inspire the Fall season.

1. Wonderful World by Sam Cooke. Do you know this oldie but goodie? This is a truly old song! I believe it dates back to the fifties or sixties. The lyrics in it go like this- "Don't know much about history, don't k now much biology..." The point of this song is not about school, it's really about a guy not knowing much about school but sure of his feelings for a girl. However, the song still reminds me of school days and the fall. It takes me back to the mode of being in school.

2. Longer Than by Dan Fogelburg. This has to be one of my favorites of all time. This song is another love song. It talks about how this person has loved someone for a long time, longer than he can remember. Longer Than reminds me of fall because when love tends to last, it goes through the seasons. It survives the test of time and brings us to another fall, when we go back to our normal routines.

3. Autumn Song by Manic Street Preachers. This song is pretty popular, but I hadn't heard about it until recently. The song doesn't really have to do that much with Autumn, except for this is what it's called. It's about a girl, who seems to have changed all of a sudden, with a new haircut and dark colors under her eyes, etc. The songwriter feels that she must do this every autumn. I put this on the list because it really is a catchy tune. To listen to it, go to YouTube.
