33 Indie Songs To Add To Your End Of Summer Playlist

Aubrie Jones

Summer. Ahhhh, what a great time, right? For most students, summer is the time to breathe and get away from all of that awful school work. Unfortunately, summer is starting to come to an end. In a couple of weeks, the long, sleepless nights full of cramming to get an A on that test, insane amounts of coffee and trying to stay away in those 8 a.m. classes will soon be upon us. Don't worry, I'm sad too (but also secretly VERY excited to be back, shhh don’t tell anyone). But, now that we're at this time of year, we could all use an indie playlist to relax and embrace our end-of-summer blues. So, sit back, put on these tunes, and just drown out any thoughts of the wave of responsibility, work, and homework that is about to knock you on your butt pretty soon.

Without further ado, here is my chill summer playlist.

1. "Welcome Home, Son" - Radical Face

2. "All The Pretty Girls" - Kaleo

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
