As December approaches its halfway point, there is only one thing on BU students’ minds. Not ‘Ugly Christmas Sweater’ parties. No, no. What I refer to is, of course, finals. The fall semester ends in less than two weeks, as I’m sure you are aware, and many are gearing up for an excruciating ten days. Inevitably there will be all-nighters at Mugar, ridiculous caffeine consumption, and general panic.
Have no fear, for here, I present you the the perfect playlist to keep you sane during your studying. Consisting mainly of relaxing, soothing music, this playlist is meant to serve as brilliant ambient music without distracting from work. There are, of course, a few choice surprises in there, just in case you happen to fall asleep (M83, The Rolling Stones), have an insatiable thirst for some classical music (Claude Debussy), or feel the intense urge to sing along to something (Bon Iver, Vampire Weekend). So, without further ado:
1. “Stars” – The xx
2. “Separator” – Radiohead
3. “Apple Orchard” – Beach House
4. “Skinny Love” – Bon Iver
5. “County Line” – Cass McCombs
6. “Beau Soir” – Claude Debussy
7. “Grapevine Fires” – Death Cab for Cutie
8. “Condor Ave.” – Elliott Smith
9. “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song” – Fleet Foxes
10. “Midnight City” – M83

14. “Colomb” – Nicolas Jaar
15. “Get Off My Cloud” – The Rolling Stones
16. “Trials of the Past (feat. Sampha) – SBTRKT
