Rainy Days, But Make It Fall

Yeah, I've already posted a rainy days playlist. But this one is very different! It's more comprehensive, and it's meant for fall. Nobody can deny fall just hits different. The playlist is about five hours as of publishing time, but I'm sure it'll grow by the time fall is over.

On this playlist, I have mostly comforting songs: of course, some indie pop; some old-school-style rap; my all-time favorite, "we fell in love in october" by girl in red; and a new genre I don't have much experience with: chillhop/jazzhop/lofi. (If you want a post about lofi, let me know in the comments!) This playlist is perfect if you're thinking of that person (or puppy); if you want to be sad or happy. Nostalgia, but softer than other playlists I've posted about, is the vibe of this one.

Warning: Some recommended songs may contain explicit content. Marked with an (E) next to the song title.

"Forever & Always" - Zeph

I hadn't heard this song until I was compiling this playlist and Spotify recommended it to me. Soft acoustics is the only background on this track - and it fits perfectly. The vocals are soft and comforting, if difficult to understand at first. After reading the lyrics, I knew I had to add it. It speaks to a love that never fades, which is perfect for cuffing season. (I added a link to a definition if you have no idea what that means.)

"Fool" - Cavetown

Beginning soft and sweet, "Fool" maintains the sweet innocence of falling in love with someone even while noticing the small annoyances that grow endearing. Even as someone who's never fallen in love, "Fool" makes me want to. Throughout the song, the backgrounds grow to an eventual guitar solo. While it's actually lots of sound, it doesn't seem loud or obnoxious which I believe is quite a feat.

"Get You the Moon" - Kina, Snøw

This is maybe the most emotional song I've ever heard. Every time I hear it, it seems as though I grow distant from everything and everyone for no reason other than the beauty of this song. A simplistic beat, opened by an incredible chord progression of guitar at the beginning, supports Kina's voice, which conveys such loneliness, desperation, and love at the same time. I could go on for hours about this song, but trust me: listen to it.

"FALL IN LOVE" - $NOT (E)

This is what I would classify as a lyrical rap song. It's not trashy, but it has explicit lyrics. When it comes to summoning nostalgia, I don't discriminate against genre. The lyrics and vocals of this song bring back memories that I don't even have. I've never had my heart broken, but this song still gives me
