Autumn Eargasms

As we wave the summer goodbye and the leaves pile up on the ground i found myself looking for some music to fit the Autumn mood. I mean, we’ve all heard of a summer hit but an autumn hit? But rather than just searching “autumn,” in Spotify i went to a bit more trouble and asked 20 Swiss musicians for their Autumn song favourites. You’ll find the individual tips below and the whole playlist here. Happy listening.

Who:     Simon (Long Tall Jefferson)
Song:     Sam Evian - Anybody

«I have no idea what this song is about, but it makes the new colours on the trees a little more vivid.»

--- 

Wer:      Moritz (MoreEats)
Song:     Yo La Tengo - Autumn Sweater

«The name says it all. A hymn to autumn and still good to listen to all year round.»

---

Wer:      Gina (Gina Été)
Song:     John Vanderslice - Exodus Damage

«No one ever says a word about so much that happens in the world - This feeling, which I perhaps first suspected 18 years ago, comes over me so often, especially when the days are getting shorter and politics are silent, while the first hurricane hits Europe's shores. And this song comforts me again and again, Dance Revolution!»

Song 2:   Aldous Harding - Blend

«The wet leaves under your feet, the rainy sky, the walls of the 60's blocks, the thoughts wandering...»

This song with a beautiful message has been with me since the beginning of autumn 2019.
Have a look at the song (before you start to stress out here).»

Song 2:  Lucio Dalla - L‘anno che verrà

«This is an old classic, but unfortunately it fits into our time again. Still full of hope for next year.»

Wer:      Dennis (Dennis Kiss & The Sleepers)
Song:     The Bronze Medal - Walls

«An ode to peace in solitude, the bliss of indulgence, the sadness of being.»

 
---

Wer:      David Friedli (Dave Bennink, Forlorn Elm, DUS)
Song:     Tanya Barany - Sea 

«Flames like the sun dried out the sea, left with dirty sand beneath my feet. - Feels to me like the year is slowly coming to an end; and there's not as much left of the big lakes and rivers as there was two months ago - as if they were drying up.»

---

Wer:      Nicholas Kiss (MC Koralle)
Song:     Slowy & 12Vince - Undercover Blues

«I chose this song because both the slightly sad sample and the content of the lyrics capture the feeling of transience during autumn as well as its positivity, which is very nicely hidden in it.  At the same time you can nod along to it.»
