🎵 Monthly Song Challenge 🎵

I've never had either... What are they allegories for? Commonness, comfort, blandness, familiarity?

I am confusion

I don't like either, but I'm going to pick a song for one of my two equivalent hot "fall" drinks which might surprise some... it's a chestnut praline latte or a flat white.

Day 2: A song equivalent of a pumpkin spice latte or warm apple cider

I agree with whiskeynack, here in Jersey, the fall means nice warm drinks. Maybe a touch of applejack in there???

It’s been unseasonably, warm and dry here in Jersey, so looking forward to a little bit crisper weather.

The Choir or a band from Cleveland and like many early Midwest bands, were hugely influenced by the Beatles and the British Invasion. Think one hit wonders. Think about regional radio and local “hits.” Think of the movie “that thing you do.”

This one broke the band out of regional obscurity and hit number 49 on the national charts. The choir were first known as the Modernaires, then the Mods before changing their name to The Choir.

The core of this band would go on to work with Eric Carmen and later became The Raspberries in the 70s, with many hits of their own. This is a classic example of garage rock, IMO.

The Choir - It’s Cold Outside

I’m sorry! Ok so exactly what @Whiskeyjack said about the cider (adding that it’s an unfiltered apple juice that is often mulled with spices or zest to jazz it up. Best served warm. And also excellent with cinnamon whiskey)

Ok, I like mulled wine... it is spicy...

And a PSL is a sweet autumnal beverage that can represent autumn in general but also has the connontation of being “basic”… girly pop like Taylor swift would be what comes to mind for me but not exclusively

Well, damn... I like Taylor Swift but not PSL.

Back to the drawing board...

Well, i don't like either, but this smacks of Autumn

Simon & Garfunkel - The Leaves That Are Green
Think Mr Bragg wrote that opening line? No,Mr Simon was 21 when he wrote this song.

Well, damn... I like Taylor Swift but not PSL.

You can interpret the prompt however! I was just trying to help V with some direction. I don’t like PSL and I’m also not a swiftie but I love a lot of songs that I would consider PSL songs, if that makes sense.
Go whatever direction you want!

I’m going with warm apple cider (with a shot or two of cinnamon whiskey), because that’s my favorite fall beverage.

David Gilmour: Smile

We don't really have either in the UK. But this is definitely a comfort blanket song; like a nice glass of spiced, mulled wine....

This song is apple cider with some whiskey thrown in... comforting, warming, and just what you want when you need to relax

Can it be hot chocolate with brandy or a Spanish coffee from Tio Pepe's? If not, definitely cider.

 

[Mr_bogey]

Things I don't enjoy, so a song I hate?

There is no way someone who lives in Oregon and loves the outdoors can hate songs that feel like a bonfire in late fall.

Day 1: A song that mentions candy or sugar

I'm currently in your state at the very bottom and yesterday was gorgeous --- maybe summer's last gasp. Tonight I'll be cursing the drought and the ban on bonfires.

Old school rock, conveniently called dad-rock, is my comfort music. Doesn't matter if it's KISS or Maiden or Scorpions, their greatest hits are like a warm hug for my soul.

I catch myself singing this song whenever my mind is blank. Been listening to it for most of my life, it's their biggest hit but I've never grown tired of it. I'll play it again, and again, and again, and I'll sing it when not even I myself am listening.

Were up in central Jersey.

We actually sell firewood on our farm, but so far this fall has been very lean since the burn ban has been in effect.

Enjoy your time in our glorious state.

Cape May? Wildwood?

It was more the beverages in question, though I don't hate hot cider. Now a hip flask of whiskey and a rainy day beach fire?

Since I hate pumpkin spice I guess it would have to be apple cider.

Jon Batiste is such a light. I adore him. And him with Mumford and Sons is magic.

I almost posted her but I feel like I always post Lana songs... I'm trying to branch out.

I love this song.

Sipping cider, looking at the orange, yellows and reds in the trees thinking these are all my favorite colors

Blind Pilot hits me where Noah Kahan connects to my New Englaners. Hip flask, Deadman's Cove, and a beach fire.

It's the cello line that really does it.
