When fall rolls around, as Lizzy McAlpine said in her hit song Vortex, “Someday, the world will
stop and it will feel just like this did.” With the long winter coming and the grey skies
never-ending, what’s the best way to cheer you up? The most gut-wrenching playlist you’ve
ever heard! As a music enjoyer and connoisseur (depending on who you ask), I have
compiled my favorite songs to match the liminal idea that makes up fall. With a quick sneak
