October is about connection....
Who we love.
Who we miss.
Who we become because someone else was here.
This month moves through all the complicated ways we connect — from heartbreak, unanswered questions and relationships that aren't quite what they seem, to family, identity, attraction, vulnerability and the people who change the shape of our lives.
"Mercy" by Tones and I asks for the honesty needed when love is ending, while "Adeline" by Ally Row looks back at the person who got away and wonders what might have made them stay.
From there, October gets louder, softer, stranger and sometimes a little cheekier — because connection isn't only about romantic love. It's ancestry and belonging. It's standing for what matters. It's saying "I love you" even when it feels cheesy. It's desire, disappointment, laughter, loss and learning how to carry someone after they're gone.
Together, these songs remind us of something beautifully human:
Together, they begin a month built around something we've always believed at BTN:
We leave pieces of ourselves in the people we love.
And we carry pieces of them wherever we go.

Sometimes the hardest part of goodbye is waiting for someone to finally say the words.
Mercy lives in those final moments of a relationship, where heartbreak collides with the desperate need for honesty and closure.
Rather than soften the ending, Tones and I pleads for it directly — if the love is really gone, say it,
even if hearing it hurts.
Raw, vulnerable and emotionally charged, it captures the strange cruelty of uncertainty when sometimes the most merciful thing someone can give us is the truth.

What do you do when the person you still need has already started moving on?
Regret runs beneath the bright indie-folk warmth here, with Ally Row looking backwards at a love that couldn't be held onto and wondering what might have made things different.
There's no easy answer — just longing for another chance that may never come.
Adeline turns that ache into something surprisingly buoyant: a lovesick farewell for the ones we wish we'd had more time with.
