It is my favorite time of year! I absolutely adore the fall and always have, and one thing I look forward to every year, are all the fall flavors. They really are some of the best! So I wanted to write a song that captured that feeling on a brisk fall morning where you’re waiting to make a cup of warm coffee or tea. It really just hits different in the fall.

As for the instrumentation, I wanted to keep it fairly simple. I mostly wanted to focus on the vocals and capture the color of vocals like the colors of the changing leaves in autumn.

While the composition came together rather quickly for this one, the mixing definitely pushed me. I worked with instruments I’m very familiar with, however I struggled a lot with this mix. The biggest issue was that nothing was sitting in the same space, and my usual reverbs felt either way too strong or lacked presence. I kept redoing the mix and not noting much of a shift. I actually ended up changing how I do my reverb and the plugin I use after almost 4 years of my current method. I learned about sidechaining reverb to my vocals recently, and shifted from creating sends for Early Reflections, Late Reflections, and Longverb, to 2 sends for Room and Character. While I’m still wrapping my head around it, I think it definitely helped bring this track to life!

As for the video, I wanted to capture the chill fall feel, and what’s more fall than falling leaves and cozy clothes? Filming the video went super smoothly, but much like the audio, there was a pattern. I had made a falling fruit asset for my Suika main theme cover months ago, and switched out the fruit assets for leaves. It looked really nice, however, it didn’t work for most of this video. Because this video is so vocal heavy, I had to redo the falling leaves so they didn’t fall in the center of the video. However, this created another issue… While the center of shots weren’t obscured anymore, the vocal harmony shots in the upper corner were. So, I opted to change it around, having the fall leaves just during the piano intro and outro, and playing with light beams and that sort of golden/orange hue we get throughout fall for the rest of the video.

While there were a lot of hiccups throughout this process, I’m really happy with how this track turned out. I just wanted to do something fun and light-hearted for my favorite time of year and what I enjoy most about it. Hope you enjoy Fall Flavors~

Lyrics:
A little brew, little tea, little coffee
Grab some mugs for just you and me
All my spices, they’re ground up real fine
Aroma’s so divine ohh

Blend em up, stir em up, give em a toast
Feel the beans and smell the dark roast
Watch for the bubbles in the water
I just can’t wait to taste the fall flavors

I can’t stop at one cup
Just so warm and cozy ‘gainst the breeze
Sugar falls into my tea just like leaves
I’m gonna jump into the pile and watch the colors swirl around me


Fall flavors
I’ve got to get me some
Fall flavors
Pumpkin, chai, cider, cloves, and maple
Fall flavors
Can’t get enough of my
Fall flavors
Apple, Pie, cinnamon they’re staples
