“I would pick ‘A Couple Minutes’ by Olivia Dean because it’s a very loving song, and I feel like fall is all about couples and that cuddly, warm feeling. That’s what I feel when I hear it.”

“I would say ‘Successful’ by Ariana Grande. I just really like the song in general. It just reminds me of fall for some reason. Fall is like the time where you settle down into school so like fall is probably the best time to be successful.”

“Mine is Yo La Tengo’s song, ‘Nowhere Near.’ It has a warm feeling lead up and it feels very soft. Towards the end it has this crazy harsh guitar, and I think that’s how fall feels going into winter.”

“The song I’d choose is ‘Too Sweet’ by Hozier. I think it matches the aesthetic of fall because it’s very soothing and it’s giving fall.”

“My song is ‘Your New Cuckoo’ by The Cardigans, and it just makes me feel very happy. It makes me feel independent like I just wanna go out and just dance.”
