Election Day is tomorrow, November 8, meaning no more obnoxious commercials, no more pre-recorded calls during the day and no more coverage of the nasty wars of words surrounding the event. Let's all celebrate by taking a big, deep breath with some music to take the edge of our irritation. Below is a collection of songs to to get you to kiss and make up, or shake hands and start acting like adults again.

Let's start our reconciliation by first choosing to set aside our differences and not fight. Once the election is over, party lines will continue to divide our candidates, but hopefully they can start acting civil again and send their copywriters into time out for creating so much hype. These three Swedes know where it's at, letting bygones be bygones in saying, "We just have had enough of us," (yes, you and all of Western New York) and going about their lives. Below is the remix by mash up master Girl Talk.

Once we've decided to drop the argument, we can agree to disagree. True, this song is more suitable for a relationship on the rocks than politicians vying to lead the way, but it's fitting in the sense that these guys probably aren't ever going to see eye to eye and won't just cave into the other's side because they lost the election. The same applies to those riled up by choosing sides in the political debates this time of the month who are thinking of ditching all those opposed to them and making new friends within their own party lines (Ok, maybe a bit harsh and a bit too far). Don't get too carried away with it all, but don't compromise your own beliefs and let's just get along.

One of the best songs to communicate the old adage, "S#@$ happens," Modest Mouse's first breakthrough track is perfect for walking away from a fight whether you come out the victor or the loser. There's always next year, next term, next whatever to try again and everything is going to be fine aside from a few injuries to your pride. Granted, the results of an election tend to have quite a bit of influence from that day forward, meaning that those not on the winning side will have a constant reminder of it every day, but don't worry, as Isaac Brock would say, "Good news will make it's way to all them plans."

An election marks the dawning of a new political era, or so they say. Why else would so much effort be put into something if it wasn't going to cause some important change? What better way to ring in the new day (that glorious Wednesday after the election) than with Arcade Fire's appropriately named track off 2004's Funeral. This song really is a breath of fresh air that helps you start anew with an epic sound combining orchestral instruments with those characteristic of the rock genre in a way that makes you sit back in awe. If all else fails, perhaps this track can help you put your arguments and differences aside by making you forget them all together.

A simplistic classic that really just says it all. It's guaranteed to inspire smiles as well as bro hugs, maybe even a little head bobbing and some impromptu sing-alongs. Don't try to substitue this one with any of its covers, the original is the way to go whether your disagreement is political, personal or something ridiculous like why a band called War is singing about getting along. In the end, we're all better off being friends and ignoring the propaganda.

With temperatures dropping to the point where you can see your breath and a foreboding forecast of light snow by the end of the week, it's sometimes hard to remember that it's still the beautiful season of autumn in Buffalo. The leaves have fallen off the trees, the air is crisp and many have turned to the comfort of over-sized sweaters to keep in the warmth, all that's missing is a soundtrack to help us find that sense of calm and relaxation associated with the season. Though it's three years old, A Fine Frenzy's One Cell in the Sea never gets old as my soundtrack to my favorite season.

The starting track, "Come On, Come Out," mimics opening the door to the outside where an array of rich colors can be seen from the trees to the ground. The combination of piano and the voice of Alison Sudol (who effortlessly goes from powerful and rounded to subdued and soft) creates a feeling of warmth that always seems to be present despite the dropping temperatures this time of year. If that isn't enough imagery for you, think of how much the song buildup to the chorus resembles the autumn breeze picking up the leaves and whirling them around.

For some reason, more so in autumn than winter I get the urge to curl up under a big blanket with a cup of hot coffee or hot cider while reading a book or doing a crossword puzzle. Such an occasion calls for my favorite track on the album, "You Picked Me," a waltzing number that makes you smile with its sweet lyrics and whimsical soundscapes. Unfortunately, the most appropriate line of the song for the autumn that Buffalo's been having is, "So softly, rain against the windows," but my favorite part by far is the chorus. Sudol sings, "Like an apple on a tree, hiding out behind the leaves, I was difficult to reach, but you picked me." Not only perfect for lazing on your couch for the day, the song has the ideal tempo for walking through your neighborhood, or perhaps Delaware Park when the ground is covered in red and gold.

Though not placed at the end of the album, "Ashes and Wine" represents the passing of autumn in my mind. Accompanied mainly by piano and strings, the orchestration is a bit more bare than the others, with the piano playing the part of the first snowfall of the season, starting slowing then falling more frequently and faster. It's also heartbreaking in its content, as Sudol debates whether or not to hold on to a love that's let her go, similar to how I personally feel as the cold grows bitter and the leaves disappear and make way for snowdrifts.

Above are just a few highlights from the 15 tracks that make up One Cell in the Sea. It's a carefully constructed work that is best listened to from start to finish rather than in fragments, with each song acting as the perfect introduction to the next.
