Nobody likes studying. It’s hard to stay focused. If you’re like me, music helps you stay on task, especially music without words. I compiled a list of 20 songs (mostly film scores) that I’ve been listening to while studying this semester.
A good place to start is with Harry Potter. I would listen to all of the soundtracks on repeat if I had the time, but here are a few of my favorite songs.
Hedwig’s Theme
Harry’s Wondrous World
Christmas at Hogwarts
Harry in Winter
Potter Waltz
A Window to the Past
Professor Umbridge
Then I move to the Game of Thrones soundtracks.
Winterfell
The Rains of Castamere
Needle
The Old Gods And The New
Keeping with the medieval theme, I add a few Lord of the Rings songs.
The Fellowship Reunited
May It Be
Most of the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks are good study fuel too.
He’s a Pirate
Jack Sparrow
Hoist the Colours
Drink Up Me Hearties
Mermaids
While I could fill up a whole playlist with Disney songs, one soundtrack that doesn’t receive much attention is the live action Peter Pan from 2003.
