It’s been a weird month. As I’m writing this, the weather has very suddenly gone from “80ish degrees and sunny” to “60-something and rainy,” so I’d say that autumn has arrived with a vengeance; there’s already a bit more fall vibes creeping into this playlist.

- Vocally, really reminds me of Leonard Cohen, particularly in You Want It Darker. ↩
