TOP 5 SONGS FOR A CRISP FALL DAY:

The autumnal equinox is here, signaling the start of the year's most beautiful season.  While parting with summer is bittersweet, the arrival of falling leaves and burberry scarves brings a new sort of quiet happiness.  Here are five songs to help you embrace it all.  Best when accompanied by hot apple cider.

5. Sufjan Stevens, Casimir Pulaski Day

Sure, the holiday itself occurs in March, but this song should be a staple on every walking-to-work-in-the-fall playlist.

4. Damien Jurado, Ohio

A lovely story from an even lovelier storyteller.

3. Joshua Radin, Star Mile

For the softer, whispery side of the season.

2. Bela Fleck, The Over Grown Waltz

Arguably the most beautiful song off The Bluegrass Sessions, it evokes spending a day outdoors in the autumn.

1. Nick Drake, Cello Song

Any song by the prince of cozy music is recommended for cuddling up with a blanket and a cup of tea.  This one, however, takes the cake.
