“Mykonos” by Fleet Foxes
Anything from Fleet Foxes is good study music, but this song will help you turn out that final paper while swaying along to this melancholic tune.
“I Need My Girl” by The National
A slow tempo song, great for some reading on a rainy day.
“Rivers and Roads” by The Head and the Heart
This song is full of nostalgia, which will make you look forward to going home for the holidays.
“The Night We Met” by Lord Huron
Any 13 Reasons Why fans will recognize this one. Sorry if it makes you cry to think about Hannah and Clay again.
“Michigan” by The Milk Carton Kids
I’ll admit it, this song’s really depressing. But so is emailing your professor 10 times in one day asking for help on an assignment and getting no response, so it’s fitting.
“Sense of Home” by Harrison Storm
A classic melancholic acoustic track that will make you wish you were sipping some hot chocolate by the fireplace at home right now.
“We Never Met” by Donovan Woods
Don’t you wish you had never met your professors and you could be at home sipping that hot chocolate instead of writing a 15-page essay in one night? Or is that just me?
“Walk Unafraid” by First Aid Kit
This Swedish sister duo is one of my favourite bands of all time. Their harmonies and Americana tunes are out of this world. This track was originally released for the movie Wild and will make you feel just as empowered as Reese Witherspoon so that you can crush your finals.
“Blessed” by Daniel Caesar
I am eternally jealous of those who have tickets to his December shows in Toronto. If you’re one of the lucky ones, use this song as a small reminder that you’ll be having fun again soon.
“Monday Loop” by Tomppabeats
A groovy instrumental that will make reading an entire semester’s worth of readings in one night seem easy.
“A Little Death” by The Neighbourhood
Another groovy tune that might make you want to start dancing in the library. Don’t worry, I won’t judge.
“Let’s Go Surfing” by The Drums
Everyone needs a study break. Blast this song and dance around your room for some much needed stress relief, and maybe start dreaming up your next vacation.
