Technician’s editorial board compiled their favorite tunes to listen to this fall.
Emilia Rivadeneira, Culture Editor: “Cherry Wine” by Hozier.
The melody and guitar riffs on this song are so fall.
Elizabeth Dull, Culture Editor: “Bella’s Lullaby” by Carter Burwell and Maksym Rzemiński.
Nothing feels more fall than pretending you’re in Forks, Washington. Twilight’s cult-classic lullaby is best paired with cozy diner breakfast, Y2K sweaters and midterm scaries.
Katherine Wan, Assistant Video Editor: “Apple Cider” by beabadoobee.
A drink that tastes better cold and also a cute, catchy song.
Koen Rodabaugh, Focused Editor: “Songbird” by Fleetwood Mac.
The rustic vocals and acoustic guitar perfectly encompass the feeling that comes with the changing of the leaves and cool temperatures.
Erin Ferrare, Assistant Sports Editor: “Eye In The Sky” by The Alan Parsons Project.
Want to feel like you’re driving around town with your dad in the driver’s seat controlling the aux? This classic dad-rock song will make your walk around campus filled with nostalgia and warm, cozy feelings.
Noah Teague, Assistant Sports Editor: “Chasin’ That Neon Rainbow” by Alan Jackson.
Cracker Barrel vibes.
Kate Denning, News Editor: “What Difference Does It Make?” by The Smiths.
Nothing beats wearing a chunky sweater on a brisk autumn walk to the library as Morrissey sings the whiniest lyrics you’ve ever heard through your semi-working headphones.
Elliot Johnson, Assistant Copy Desk Chief: “The Reckoning” by Dom Fera.
It’s a song that takes place in October. What more can you want?
Carter McDermott, Assistant Design Editor: “Autumn Leaves” by Ryo Fukui.
Autumn leaves? Where is it going?
Rachelle Hernandez, Copy Desk Chief: “Mi manera de querer” by Natalia Lafourcade.
Honestly, listen to the whole album. It’s absolutely amazing and heartfelt — perfect for fall.
Ethan Rimolt, Photo Editor: “Head Over Boots” by Jon Pardi.
Yeehaw, I’m a cowboy.
Ellie Bruno, Design Editor: “Halloween” by Noah Kahan.
If you aren’t in your feels during fall, you’re doing it wrong. Also, it’s called Halloween … duh.
Justin Welch, Opinion Editor: “Lovers Rock” by TV Girl.
Blasting this on a lonesome late-night car ride in autumn? Melancholy ascension.
Ally Tennant, Assistant News Editor: “Scott Street” by Phoebe Bridgers.
There’s nothing like walking on Hillsborough pretending that it’s a street named after Scott while reminiscing on all your life events that turned into strangers. Bonus points if it’s to the outro.
Amelia Russell, Assistant News Editor: “willow” by Taylor Swift.
As Technician’s resident Swiftie, I had to show up with one of Taylor’s slept-on fall favorites. This song is perfect for sitting outside on an overcast day watching the wind blow through the trees (willows if you’re lucky) and reminiscing about the witchy Eras Tour set you may or may not have gotten to witness.
Isaac Hernandez, Video Editor: “Café con Leche” by Simon Grossmann.
Picture this: You just got out of work or class, and you have no homework due. There’s a light drizzle, and the yellowish-brown leaves are falling. This song comes on. Life is good.
