College can be extremely stressful at times, with a paper due every week and an exam always around the corner, sometimes we just want to pull our hair out. Take a break and listen to this chill playlist. From household names like Coldplay (because who doesn’t love Coldplay?!) to more obscure artists like Odessa, this playlist will surely clear your mind and calm your heart. All of these songs on this playlist are songs that I have listened to whenever I have felt stressed out. My personal favorites on this list are numbers 2: “Flaws” by Bombay Bicycle Club, 5: “I Want” by The Bear, 12: “Supersymmetry” by Arcade Fire, and 15: “Grow” by Odessa. I hope that everyone will be able to relax after listening. Enjoy!
MOOD PLAYLIST:
-
“Warning Sign” by Coldplay (I grew up listening to Coldplay and their songs are most definitely the soundtrack for my life!)
-
“Flaws” by Bombay Bicycle Club (I love this band so much that I saw them at the 9:30 Club and I fell even more in love with them. Their songs are extremely calming with soft voices and gentle guitar riffs.)
-
“Cayman Islands” by Kings of Convenience (There are really no words to express how relaxing the songs by this band is. Just listen!)
-
“Cherry Wine” by Hozier (After ‘Take Me to Church’, Hozier has been getting a lot of buzz so I thought I’d include him in here.)
-
“I Want” by The Bear (Pandora shined the light on this lovely group and I cannot stop replaying this song over and over again.)
-
“Let It Go” by James Bay (The title of this song fits so well. We all need to just let go once and awhile.)
-
“Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want” by The Smiths (I went a bit back for this one. There’s just something about The Smiths…)
-
“This Is Why” by Late Night Alumni (A song that sings me to sleep some nights with melodic guitar chords and a musical voice.)
-
“We Belong” (ODESZA Remix) by RAC (I’m obessed with ODESZA and RAC and you should be too. This remix blows me away each time I listen to it.)
-
“Lullabies” (Jim-E Stack Remix) by Yuna (This remix really will sing you to sleep just like a lullaby. It’s flawless.)
-
“To Be With You” by The Honey Trees (This song makes me want to escape my life and go on a grand adventure. It’s true tranquility.)
-
“Supersymmetry” by Arcade Fire (From the movie Her, this song immediately lifts your spirits with its’ smooth beats and lyrical tone.)
-
“And Counting” by LIGHTS (There’s just something about LIGHTS’ honeyed voice that gives me the shivers.)
-
“Skipping Disc” by Animal Kingdom (Sometimes life can feel like a skipping disc with the same routines we go through everyday.)
-
“Grow” by Odessa (This song makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time because it gives me hope.)
