10 Weirdly Specific Playlist Ideas

sometimes music brings us to a place we wish we were, and sometimes it brings us to a place we are glad we are not at

here are 10 of my niche playlists that i really think you would benefit in curating on your own! making spotify playlists is a fun way to explore new music, as well as experiment with the different ways that you can sort your own music. see if you can come up with some of your own!

music to commit larceny to

great for fast-paced, badass music! I would also put in a ton of comedic 70s/80s music, just to jam to while committing a felony <3

americanarama

one song from each state. perfect for road trips or when you're feeling patriotic!

You're biking away from the school bully in the springtime and you drop your ice cream cone

This one is great for childhood tunes, especially springtime music. The added spice of the bully means you can sprinkle in some fast-paced music rather than the slow music that reminds us all of the dog days.

halfway through a zombie apocalypse

self explanatory-- there's actually a pretty wide selection of music is or can be interpreted to be about an apocalyptic even or a cataclysm of some sort. also wonderful for putting in the classic rock music we're embarrassed to like.

i think i’m trapped in an episode of euphoria

you could replace euphoria with any show of your choice but the goal is to distill the atmosphere of the show or piece of media using music. so much fun to do!

youre a painting at the MET who’s in love with the painting across from you

we all have a library of pining music do NOT lie to me, okay? this could be if you're into someone who doesn't know, or perhaps in a long-distance relationship. either way, what captures longing and yearning like staring at your love but being unable to go to them? especially when they look like ART

good strutting music

this one is pretty self-explanatory. look, we all need a sountrack to feel confident. everyone has different kinds of music that they would be willing to strut to-- have fun with this one and put in some unexpected tracks!

locked in a 7/11 at 2am

everybody loves vapor soul! being at a 7/11 at 2am feels like not existing-- you know, that feeling where you're so small and so big at the same time? this is for sticking in your atmospheric music and stuff that really just gets you to a certain vibe that you can't quite name.

guillotining the fairie king

it may be me personally that has a lot of revolutionary music but also a lot of calming music. this playlist is about feeling badass and sticking it to the man, but while also looking good and being with your friends. the idea of a fairie mutiny is extremely appealing and finding music that fits this vibe is a challenge, but worth it in the end.

i was a good cyborg in a y2k movie but they corrupted my system so i’m an evil cyborg now

personally, this is where i would put a lot of my 2000s/new millenium music! i cater the order of the tracks to slowly get more and more "evil" (loud, maybe more brash or dark) sounds towards the end

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
