The Fall Playlist You Never Knew You Needed

If you're still listening to your summer jams, here are 10 songs to help you get into the spirit of the new season. This playlist does go quite well with apple cider.

1. "Love Is War" by American Young

It's definitely not your typical male-female duet about love. If you like swaying harmonies and poignantly honest lyrics with a little hint of country, this song is for you.

2. "Ottoman" by Vampire Weekend

A somewhat hidden gem of a song by a not-so-hidden gem of a band. Perfect to listen to while taking a brisk walk through the city.

3. "Stay A Little Longer" by Brothers Osborne

According to Rolling Stone, this rootsy duo thinks that "people are tired of the bullshit and are ready for the real substance." And this song definitely proves their philosophy

4. "Dance The Night Away" by Shane Smith & The Saints

At least to me, it isn't fall without some pure, authentic folk music to listen to. And I'd dance the night away to Shane Smith & The Saints any day.

5. "Perfect To Me" by Marc Broussard

Give this heart-melting song one listen, and you'll also wonder why Marc Broussard isn't on the radio yet. Broussard's vocal stylings combine blues, folk, and rock, and the outcome is altogether irresistible.

6. "Strangers" by Langhorne Slim

I've always loved the special quirk of Langhorne Slim's music, but "Strangers" is a song that can be universally appreciated for its charisma, catchiness, and insightful lyrics.

7. "As It Seems" by Lily Kershaw

Beautifully introspective lyrics collide perfectly with Kershaw's warm vocals in this playlist selection. Thoughtful, yet not subtle. Perfect for cozy autumn evenings.

8. "Better Weather" by Good Old War

The accessible, upbeat nature of this song makes it almost impossible to dislike. Poppy? Yes. Alternative? Yes. Perfect balance? Absolutely.

9. "Percy Anderson" by Jasmine Kennedy

It's the love song that every college student can relate to.

10. "Son Of Sam" by Elliott Smith

While most of Smith's famous songs are tranquil and serene, I love how the lively piano chords and guitar riffs help this particular song clip along. I definitely have not gotten sick of listening to it.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
