As finals approach, many people are stressed out thinking about their final exam. I know I tend to listen to music in order to tune out extraneous noises from around my res hall or other people wherever I am studying at the moment. The music I listen to while studying depends on my mood and I want to share the songs with you in the hopes that they will help you concentrate on studying to.
Sometimes, I need music that is angry and motivating so I listen to these songs:
- You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’ by Judas Priest
- Enter Sandman by Metallica
- Wish I Had An Angel by Nightwish
- Make Some Noise by Beastie Boys
- Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya by Dropkick Murphys
- Breath of Life by Florence + The Machine
- Castle by Halsey
- The Game by Motörhead
- Planet Hell by Nightwish
- Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne
- Stargazer by Rainbow
- Ladies and Gentlemen by Saliva
Other times when I need calming songs to help me concentrate, I listen to these songs:
- Ball of Earth by Beecake
- Fare Thee Well (Dink’s Song) by Oscar Isaac & Marcus Mumford
- Here’s Lookin’ At You by Ryan Eggold
- The Cave by Mumford & Sons
- Float On by Modest Mouse
- Hey You, Yeah You by KONGOS
- The Penniless Optomist by Electric Swing Circus
- Bang Bang by Dispatch
- Soul Meets Body by Death Cab for Cutie
- You Say by Claude Rains
