September Theme: Fall

When I think of Fall, I think of high school Friday night football games, fall festivals, apple picking, hayrides, and curling up with a warm blanket and a cup of coffee watching the sun come up every weekend. It’s about cozy vibes and warmth and the calm before the busy holiday season starts. This is the time of year when I love reading mysteries and books with magic – it just feels like a magical time of year with the way the light filters through the changing leaves! When you think of Fall, what books come to mind for you?

The feeling of Fall is hard to convey into music for me. It’s life slowing down just a bit, it’s gold and burgundy-colored leaves hanging on the trees, it’s pulling sweater sleeves down over my hands while walking through those trees. It’s the scent of apples and cinnamon wafting through the house. I hope I’ve conveyed those feelings in these songs!
