my musical taste tends to be widespread… one second i may be listening to major lazer and the next song is most likely the 1812 overture. this isn’t an exaggeration, because this happened to me earlier today. when it comes to studying though i usually have a steady playlist i’ll listen to. sometimes its classical, sometimes it’s oldies and other times its a random group of songs i threw together in a playlist. typically they’re “soothing” in the sense that i can listen to them nonstop and not get distracted, especially when i’m studying and looking for any distraction i can get. so without further ado, here are my current favorite “study songs”:

ode to joy // beecham choral society, rene leibowitz & royal philharmonic orchestra

big parade // the lumineers

wait for me // kings of leon

once there was a hushpuppy // beasts of the southern wild soundtrack

joanna // deaf joe

song for zula // phosphorescent

walk in the trees // the spectacular now soundtrack

all i want // kodaline

to build a home // the cinematic orchestra

1812 overture (finale) // charles gerhardt & philharmonic symphony of london

you and i // ingrid michaelson

laura palmer // bastille

young blood // the naked and famous
