♫♪  Chocolate Grinder Mix 39 - “Emotions Bloom in Autumn”

Fall is far and away my favorite season. It seems like most of the romantic events in my life, good and bad, emerge in these few months, even to the point where it feels inevitable that falling in love will coincide with the weather turning crisp. Unfortunately, I often find myself on the other end of relationships during this time too. Waking up the first morning after a breakup perhaps wouldn’t be as crushing or empty if I didn’t have to pull my jacket tight against the chill. Music also seems to take on a new power and presence during this time, serving as the perfect way to amplify the delicious highs and comfort me during the lows. So, with sweater weather descending again this year, I prepare myself for the ride with this mix. These are just a few of the jams I will use to soundtrack my favorite time of the year.
