Autumn has arrived, and with it, the perfect soundtrack for this splendid season. Our playlist this week is an annual tradition, an Autumn compilation of Canadian Indie tunes that welcomes the season with open arms. It’s brimming with songs that not only celebrate autumn but also those that harmonize with its mellow essence.

As the temperatures cool and we reach for our cozy sweaters, the landscape undergoes a magical transformation. Trees, once adorned with vibrant green foliage, now display a breathtaking tapestry of oranges, reds, and yellows. It’s nature’s grand farewell to summer. The days grow shorter, and in the crisp air, the honking of geese signals their imminent departure. It’s a clear sign that the season is changing from summer to fall, though we’ll leave thoughts of winter aside for now and simply relish the moment.

While autumn officially began on September 23, it truly settled in after that. In central and eastern Canada, the cooler temperatures of September provide a welcome respite from the heat and humidity of August. Simultaneously, the leaves embark on their annual metamorphosis, transforming the landscape into a vivid tapestry of warm colors. Many venture out to witness this magnificent spectacle of fall foliage, as the trees don their autumnal best in rich shades of orange, red, and yellow. The intensity and variety of these autumn colors may not be as pronounced in the western provinces, but the sight of yellow larch trees paints equally stunning landscapes. However, here on the prairies, the transition from golden leaves to bare branches has been swift, with the first signs of snow dusting the leaves on the ground. Let’s hold on to that autumnal feeling for as long as we can, cherishing the memories of this splendid season.

We hope this playlist enhances your appreciation of this splendid season. Take a moment to embrace the beauty of your surroundings, and let the music guide you as you savour all that autumn has to offer.
