Playlist of the week: Fall into Autumn

September 27, 2022

Fall has arrived and there’s no better place to experience it than Boone. The air begins to cool down, the leaves begin to fall and playlists full of tracks with raw acoustic progressions and simple but effective songwriting starts playing.

The music that has been popularized during fall and the season itself share many similarities. People are drawn to the bare and stoic acoustics of Bon Iver or Jake Bugg songs. These sounds compliment the emptiness of the trees as they begin to go bare. The chill weather fall brings is the overarching theme of most of these songs. Tracks with a melancholy feel from artists like Gregory Alan Isakov and José González go hand-in-hand with the weather.

Enjoy the beauty of the season. These songs should make it even easier.

Our Goal

We hope you appreciate this article! Before you move on, our student staff wanted to ask if you would consider supporting The Appalachian's award-winning journalism. We are celebrating our 90th anniversary of The Appalachian in 2024!

We receive funding from the university, which helps us to compensate our students for the work they do for The Appalachian. However, the bulk of our operational expenses — from printing and website hosting to training and entering our work into competitions — is dependent upon advertising revenue and donations. We cannot exist without the financial and educational support of our fellow departments on campus, our local and regional businesses, and donations of money and time from alumni, parents, subscribers and friends.

Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest, both on campus and within the community. From anywhere in the world, readers can access our paywall-free journalism, through our website, through our email newsletter, and through our social media channels. Our supporters help to keep us editorially independent, user-friendly, and accessible to everyone.

If you can, please consider supporting us with a financial gift from $10. We appreciate your consideration and support of student journalism at Appalachian State University. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation, or if you would prefer to make a recurring monthly gift, please give to The Appalachian Student News Fund through the university here: https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1727/cg20/form.aspx?sid=1727&gid=2&pgid=392&cid=1011&dids=418.15&bledit=1&sort=1.
