Parsons Playlists: Autumn Equinox

Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student manager Amy (class of 2025) and features some of her favorite seasonal music.

Autumn Equinox

One of my favorite ways to welcome a new season is by finding songs that capture the shift in the air. Autumn, my favorite season, always has me waiting with bated breath for the first official day of fall. Then, I can finally pull out my sweaters, enjoy hot coffee, and play songs like “‘Tis Autumn” by the Nat King Cole Trio. Here are a few others I think are perfect for when fall arrives:

Nat King Cole Trio – “‘Tis Autumn”

John Coltrane – “Autumn Serenade”

Neil Young – “Harvest Moon”

Taylor Swift – “cardigan”

Simon & Garfunkel – “Leaves That Are Green”

Simon & Garfunkel – “Homeward Bound”
