With summer looming on the not-so-distant horizon, the seemingly endless hours of class and homework can seem more daunting than ever before. That's why I spend almost every waking moment listening to some sort of music, whether it be relaxing folky tunes to calm my nerves or something a little more upbeat to get me through the tragedy that is waking up for morning classes. Here's a roundup of my 15 favorite songs to listen to so far this spring.
1. "Wide-Eyed" by The Cold Weather Company
2. "Daffodil Days" by Oscar
3. "Seventeen" by Sjowgren
4. "Paris" by The 1975
5. "Georgia" by Lydia
6. "That's Right" by Cage the Elephant
7. "Facepaint" by Family of the Year
8. "Lost And Found" by Ellie Goulding
9. "Bugs" by Patrick James
10. "June and Johnny" by Jon Foreman
11. "Ocean Eyes" by Billie Eilish (Astronomyy Edit)
12. "Soon As I Get Home" by Blah Blah Blah
13. "Hunger" by Of Monsters and Men
14. "Mess is Mine" by Vance Joy
15. "Cara Delevigne" by The Ninjas
All of these songs hold different meanings to me, from a familiar sound I can count on and have listened to hundreds of times to a new discovery that has yet to make it onto my list of permanent favorite tracks.
But the best part about all of them together is that when I hear any of these songs in the future, I will be transported back to this time in my life, right now. And that's a pretty cool thing. I encourage everyone to make their own seasonal, or even monthly, playlist as a way to capture the crazy, wonderful life you're living today and every day.
