For my September 2016 "playlist," I decided to ditch the playlist theme, and instead, suggest 5 songs/artists for you to check out. I know I would rather have a short select few songs to peruse through, rather than a long, dragged-out list of songs; especially for the back-to-school season when things are a bit haywire.

The pseudo-season of "back to school" is an interesting transition from hot summer days to brisk autumn nights. Temporary summer depression might plague students when going back to school this September, so I hope music can be used as a remedy to help make a proper progression into the new school year. I decided to find 5 songs that can appeal to any sort of time period.

When i think of "back to school" I like to think of relaxing songs, or songs that aren't too "in your face." Songs with loud vocals and electronically fast-paced production can be a bit too much for a time that can be filled with high anxiety and frustration. During this period of time, I like to refrain from listening to songs that are over produced and settle for more easy-listening.

Without further ado, I hope these 5 songs can aid to your, potentially, irksome return to school:

1. "The Fool" by Ryn Weaver

Ryn Weaver has a very unique way of articulating her songs. She does a remarkable job of combining her fairy-like voice with techno production. This song, along with "OctaHate" and "Promises" are perfect for tranquil, rainy days in bed. Ryn has the perfect album for those who aren't looking to overexcite their eardrums.

2. "Dirt Road Anthem" by Jason Aldean

For country music lovers alike, this is definitely a memorable throwback. Jason Aldean faultlessly integrates his signature country sound with interesting rap-infused verses. This song instantly puts me in a unperturbed, relaxed state of mind and is a perfect track to keep you sane when returning to school.

3. "All My Friends" by Snakehips featuring Tinashe and Chance The Rapper

This song is an interesting twist for Tinashe, who usually puts out more heavy-hitting songs. However, this song's laid-back and anthemic chorus make for a perfect "good vibes" kind of song. Undeniably fitting for closing out the summer, while still having lyrics that can be relevant to fall.

4. "Amazing" by Josh Kelley

You may remember this song from way back when; Josh Kelley's underrated, hushed vocals provide for a very happy-go-lucky kind of song. This song is as mellow as you can get and provides listeners with relatable, singalong lyrics.

5. "Save Tonight" by Eagle-Eye Cherry

Yet another throwback to add to the list. Anytime I need a classic "go-to" song to ease my mind and de-stress myself from any sort of situation, I go to this song. Nevertheless, the unobtrusive vocals and guitar-strumming production make the song all the more better. Definitely a song recommended for those who are looking to calm their school-time anxieties.

Optimistically speaking, I think these 5 songs are perfect to help you make a facile passageway into a new school year. Regardless, I hope these are 5-interesting songs to add to your playlists and help battle any troublesome anxieties that may be ensuing your mind.
