Primary Emotions/Themes: the final season is here, we prepare for the winter by the bounty of the harvest
Thoughts: Life is a cycle. As all things come all things must go. The summer yields to autumn and with it the preparedness for winter arrives. The harvest that spent all of spring and summer growing is now ready, we must ensure that it is properly taken care of before winter arrives.
The music in the fall record may very well be my favorite in all of Stardew Valley. There is an acceptance in this music, like something is coming... winter is coming. It recognizes that things must be done, but not in a hurried fashion... more like we are now transitioning to the hardest part of the year but we can still enjoy the beauty of the fall.
The melodies here are somewhere in between the bountiful melodies of summer and the cold yet cozy melodies of winter. They urge action, but not with a huge amount of urgency - there is time to enjoy what we have.
Fall is my favorite time of year so it's only fitting that the music here is my favorite as well. There is a ton of music in this boxed set, and each record has it's place. If any of them are going to get more routine play I believe it will be the fall and winter records as I find those the most enjoyable. Regardless of their play frequency going through this boxed set has been a fun reminder of what it's like to go through the year. A new routine may be forming where at the solstice or equinox the corresponding record gets played to bring in the new season.
