“Never meant” by American Football, if say it’s a really fall vibe song and it’s really good, mostly instrumental and the lyrics are super relatable and it just makes you want to wear a sweater, I also think everyone should listen to it and the whole album.”

“Hallucinating” by Future because I used to always listen to that song in the fall. My friend introduced me to that song during fall time of 2022 and every time I listen to it it reminds me of fall and the wind and the leaves even though the song isn’t necessarily about fall.”
