"Dreaming" by Mac DeMarco

Along with many other songs by Mac DeMarco, “Dreaming” is a great song to get you ready for the fall spirit. It’s the perfect song to listen to while on your way home from school or for when you want to relax in your room. This song is a very smooth song with amazing guitar work.

"Season of the Witch" by Lana Del Rey

A cover of the original version sung by 60s artist Donovan. This song sets a melancholy tone that will get you into that eerie Halloween mood. Lana Del Rey’s calm and smooth voice makes this son amazing for Halloween and the fall season in general.

"Monster Mash" by Bobby Pickett

Another nostalgic classic song that many of us remember listening to as children is “Monster Mash” by Bobby Pickett. I remember first listening to this song in elementary school and after that, I always play this song as October rolled around.

"Dracula's Wedding" by Outkast and Kelis

This is a song about being afraid of commitment. It is such a cool song with a really unique sound to it. What makes the sound so distinct is the funk in the song and the way each artist is singing from a different role in the song. This is another good song for Halloween because it emits a scary tone that resembles the excitement during this holiday.

"Dark Red" by Steve Lacy

This song is very unique to other songs on this list because the artist, Steve Lacy, recorded the entirety of this song on his iPhone. This song describes feelings that many people feel in relationships, the awaiting of heartbreak or a loss of love. Despite the meaning of the song, everything in this song ties together to create a beautiful sound.

"Cool With You" by Her's

A classic year-round song. Like many other picks on this playlist, it is very dreamy and soft. What makes it so dreamy and soft are the chords and the guitar work used. The lyrics imply the idea of staying at home and being comfortable which is great for the fall weather.

"Ghost Highway" by Mazzy Star

An amazing song by the band Mazzy Star. What makes this song so great is how full of reverb it is. This tune just screams the 70s. This is a very underrated song that I feel is great to listen to during any time of the year, but it is great to listen to in October because of the vibe of the song. Perfect to listen to before any Halloween event.
