A punk rock band song by Gagaga SP that I recommend for autumn is “Late Autumn.” Its lyrics are far more heartrending than you’d ever guess from the sound, expressing feelings for a lover who still can’t be forgotten.

While suffering from the inability to forget their presence, there’s also a resignation that, as long as we’re human, we’ll eventually forget.

Even so, the strength to keep moving forward feels deeply human and truly resonates.
