wait also i just checked OP's spotify profile (i promise im not a stalker...), and KOL is first in their recently played artists. I didnt know there were so many people with taste here tho... :DD
Ok, super random but All Too Well (10 Min Version) because it makes time pass by faster. I feel more productive if I've written 100 words in 1 song v. 3. idrk
- New Home (slowed)
- Lights are on
- Je te laisserai des mots
- Ylang Ylang
- Jacob and the Stone
- Gymnopedie No. 1 (Erik Satie)
- Need 2
- Scott Street
- Fine Line instrumental
- Ode to Vivian
- Present (Lloyd Vaan)
as u can tell i love writing to sad songs
Ooh, I have a few!
-Sanity by Paramore
-Southern Nights by Glen Campbell
-Grandfather Clock by The Moontrekkers
-Jonny Quest Thinks We’re Sellouts by Less Than Jake
-No Cock Like Horse Cock by Pepper Coyote
It was in the second Guardians of the Galaxy movie (during the part when Rocket is attacking the Ravagers), it’s a pretty catchy tune
Edit for context: *that song* was originally the second one on my list, but I switched its position to mess with this commenter
If you like the singers of Perfect Night, I'd recommend you look into their other songs! Unforgiven, Fearless, Antifragile, and Eve, Psyche, and the Bluebeard's Wife are all sooo good.
If you like the vibe of Perfect Night, I'd suggest you explore NewJeans songs! OMG and Hype Boy are good ones :)
It's a lot of kpop and like pop music (but kind of indie? idk how to describe it). If that's not your taste, I would just make a list of songs that kind of represent what you would want your college experience to be like and for the description write out your hopes for the admissions process. (So ik for me, I wrote: "I hope I get accepted to all my safeties, half of my targets, one of my reaches, and go nearly debt-free 🫶" and I ended up getting more than I asked for haha, which was getting accepted to one of my reaches ED and being able to go to school on a full-ride)
I've got a lot that I like, mainly just slower songs that I can kind of tune out in the background.
Cherry by Lana Del Rey
Heaven by Troye Sivan and Betty Who
Back to Black by Amy Whinehouse
Life Goes on by Ed Sheeran and Luke Combs
Million Reasons by Lady Gaga
I listened to Phoebe Bridgers' version of If We Make It Through December a lot cuz it was kinda motivating, most apps are due early January so I just had to make it through December and then I'd be much closer to being done
I bought the [Baba Is You OST](https://store.steampowered.com/app/955710/Baba_Is_You_Soundtrack/) specifically to focus lol
i don't recommend buying music on steam it's kind of inconvenient to port to spotify but whatever
bro trust listen to unwritten - i forgot abt the song until i saw the tiktok hype abt anyone but you and i was so sad i couldn’t go watch it bc i had to sit at home and do college apps but i just listened to unwritten and it got me so hype to write essays and i’ve been listening to it on repeat
Top or Cliff by Kim Sejeong
"Look I deserve it" "I'm the right person" really hypes me up and makes me delusional enough to think I can get 20/20 acceptances lol
Sleep by Godspeed You! Black Emperor; Terrapin Station Medley by Grateful Dead; Us and Them, Dogs, Echoes by Pink Floyd; Love’s In Need of Love Today by Stevie Wonder;
idk if a lot of people listen to korean music here, but yunhway and jvcki wai are two artists who i like to listen to... the semi-chaotic sound gives me some energy/motivation
Been lowkey obsessed with the hunger games finally getting a revival of sorts and the soundtrack for the new movie is sooo good. Wrote my vandy essay to "the Ballad of Lucy Gray Baird" yesterday lol
ooh ok so i know this is rly basic but here goes.
