In 2016, author and illustrator Jonny Sun tweeted a lament about how early the sun sets when daylight saving time ends. Parroting the lyrics of "The Song of Silence," he wrote: "helo darkness my old friend/ why are u here its 4pm.” 

The tweet quickly went viral, and not just in 2016. Nearly every year since, it  circulates on social media in the weeks after the clocks "fall back" and the sun begins to set at an unholy hour—like today, when it will set at 4:29 p.m. in New York, where I live.
