Sunday marked the end of Daylight Saving Time. This means we gained an hour, but it also means that the sun will set earlier as we head more into fall and the colder, winter months.

Since we’re headed into the season where the night will grow, let’s celebrate the onset of the darker and colder season with music!

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs relating to the night or it being dark outside would you like to hear?
