Van Morrison’s crooning voice offers a form of sentimentality rarely found in modern music, and when combined with simple chords on an acoustic guitar, magic happens. If this song doesn’t make you feel as if you are driving down a highway during a warm day with the top down then absolutely nothing in life will. FALL BACK TAKE A LOOK AT ME AND YOU’LL SEE I’M FOR REAL, DUDE. Blare this when your roommate accuses you of stealing his peanut butter. Blast this when your professor tells you he can’t meet you for coffee. Nothing says “nostalgia” like a bucketful of Avril Lavigne to the face and head area as you stare out the window at a dusty, leaf strewn courtyard.

This band may be overshadowed by their hit Best Day Of My Life, but their other songs are serious contenders. The band is ever-present but not loud enough to steal the song from Howard, something that can be valuable among a sea of excessively droned-out artists.

His voice, when backed by an impressive chorus, will both soothe and invoke thoughts of doughy, lovable Ed Sheeran. Now the title of this song was purely coincidental, we promise, but Ben Howard’s sound is one that thrives in its calming nature. Pay close attention to the especially gnarly guitar solo as well as the falsetto background singers, and if these aren’t reasons enough to listen, Youtube the scene in American Horror Story: Coven that uses this as a backing track. This R&B jam will transport you into any given Quentin Tarantino film and you will find your foot tapping to the beat without your permission. John’s distinctive voice and the 70’s funk-style organ gives this song a smoothly appealing effect. This is a perfect example that punchy power chords and simple guitar riffs can be utilized for maximum musical perfection.ĭr.

Hell, it’s not even acceptable to start rocking out to Christmas music until we’ve reached December (just kidding, it is always okay to rock out to Christmas music). Those cherished days of warmth are long gone and the harsh cold is starting to rear its icy head. The first set of midterms have been struggled through, hopefully with success, and finals are looming just around the corner. Well folks, it’s here again - we are trapped in that strange and unknown purgatory known as Fall.
