Late Autumn mixtape

I always seem to get fixated on certain bandsalbumssongs during certain seasons/months. So, I thought I would just post 2 tracks by the four bands I have really been loving as of this unseasonably warm and beautiful late Autumn.

Not all of these songs will be to your taste, but at least check out the Anathema tracks...they are the kind of songs virtually everybody can enjoy.

Anathema - "Are You There (acoustic)"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuy8Ilqi9LU
Just a lovely song all around. A beautiful kind of sadness and melancholy felt after losing love.

Anathema - "Dreaming Light"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY5cTG0wKYE
Another song about love...but this time it is about that pure feeling about being absolutely in love with someone. The kind of song you would imagine would play when a newly married couple walked down the aisle together or danced together for the first time

Rosetta - "Release"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIH4U7poyww
Summed up in the lyrics - the problem with Now is that no matter how much we want it to...it doesn't last forever

Rosetta - "Revolve"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ftw-33MMJgQ
A song that just builds, resonates with hope, about rebuilding, about reclaiming.

Katatonia - "Onward into Battle"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfrijAWtBSc
I love this entire album, and Katatonia do depressive rock so well...but this song is par excellence even by their standards. It is about struggling on, even though everything is going so wrong

Katatonia - "Departer"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g02DNyBLJo4
One of the saddest songs they have ever done. The line - brother, in your eyes, I was the stronger.... The familial aspect of Katatonia's lyrics always hit me hard.

Khoma - "Like Coming Home"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nrVCOCQ-FU
Metal love songs usually tend to come off awkwardly...but Khoma nails. A perfect mix of determined desperation. Breathing of you is keeping me calm...this ravaged world can't keep us apart

Khoma - "In it for Fighting"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBZ8aQVVzO8
The numbness you feel after you've fought for so long, the slow creeping doubt that maybe your cause is lost. You struggle on...losing more of yourself in the process
