Back in October, we gave you the Seven Songs Shaping Our Fall, which featured tunes that we were listening to at the When You Awake headquarters. We then tagged a couple of good friends/trusted bloggers and asked them to share their own seven songs. Follow the links below to check out their responses.

Awwww. The Zombies ‘This Will Be Our Year’ is one of my top 5 favorite songs ever. Thanks for sharing your list and for the kind words.
Love,
Jody
Great idea for a list. I am from New Hampshire but I have been off living in Sydney Australia and now in London. I miss the fall.
Just looking at that picture takes me back to the N.H. fall with short, bitter days and long, warm nights of carousing by a jukebox with friends.
Here are my seven (this list wears a flannel shirt and should only be listened to on a roadtrip, preferably on a dirt road):
1. The Mountain - Levon Helm (Dirt Farmer)
2. Pullin’ Up the Tracks - Dave Gleason (Midnight California)
3. Wagon Wheel - Old Crow Medicine Show (O.C.M.S.)
4. Can’t You See - The Marshall Tucker Band (Marshall Tucker Band)
5. Long May You Run - Neil (Decade)
6. Hickory Wind - GP (Sacred Hearts & Fallen Angels)
7. Car Wheels on a Gravel Road - Lucinda (Car Wheels on a Gravel Road)
(Cameron Crowe would be upset at me for not having an Elton John song on a roadtrip mix tape: Country Comfort - Elton John (Tumbleweed Connection))
