Reverend • Five Interstates (2008)

Cooler Days carries the feel of western Massachusetts settling into autumn. The Americana Project lifts the song with a gentle, roots based touch, letting the melody move like a cold river under bright leaves. This track grew from walking familiar back roads, watching the colors shift, and feeling that quiet mix of change and comfort that arrives when the air turns sharp and the pace of life slows. It is a simple story of fall taking hold, shaped by fiddle, mandolin lines, and the kind of steady playing that lets the landscape speak for itself. 

Cooler Days is the newest piece from The Americana Project, shaped by the shift into a crisp western Mass autumn. Leaves falling fast, woodsmoke rising, and a melody that settles in slow.

[Verse]
The maples blaze like a barn on fire,
Red and gold in the crisp sun's glow.
I pull my jacket just a little tighter,
The wind's got a bite, and it's starting to show.
Fields of hay wear a frost-tipped crown,
Cooler days are rolling down.

[Chorus]
Cooler days in western Mass,
Leaves fall fast, they never last.
The air smells sharp like wood and rain,
Cooler days, they ease the pain.
Cooler days, they're here at last.

[Verse 2]
The old stone walls wear moss like lace,
Crickets hush in the shadowed vale.
The river's glass, it mirrors my face,
Carving through hills like a well-worn trail.
Chimney smoke curls to a slate-gray sky,
Cooler days are passing by.

[Chorus]
Cooler days in western Mass,
Leaves fall fast, they never last.
The air smells sharp like wood and rain,
Cooler days, they ease the pain.
Cooler days, they're here at last.

[Bridge]
The summer's gone with her lazy hands,
Now autumn's rush takes command.
Boots on the porch, and cider on the stove,
Cooler days, they warm my soul.

[Chorus]
Cooler days in western Mass,
Leaves fall fast, they never last.
The air smells sharp like wood and rain,
Cooler days, they ease the pain.
Cooler days, they're here at last.
