Happy Sunday! So this weekend I have finally commenced the studying of the dreaded finals, which are on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I have finals for Latin IV, U.S. History, English, Physics, and Pre-Calculus. I've slaved over translations, essays, and what feels like hundreds of pages of notes. And I wouldn't have been able to do it without the help of these three soundtracks/album to listen to. Usually I listen to The Neigbourhood Radio on Pandora, but since I've become familiar with most of the songs, I can't help but sing along and get distracted.
The Bon Iver album is lyrical, but the vocals are so mellow and almost subtle so that it's really not distracting for me at all, and my favorite song on the album is "For Emma." I've loved The Last of the Mohicans since I was a little girl, and I've always loved the music, but I just started listening to it to help me study today, and it's so effective! It's so passionate, and it makes studying exciting (never thought I'd use "studying" and "exciting" in the same sentence). My favorite song from the soundtrack is "The Kiss." I just discovered the Amelie soundtrack today and it is such a gem; the French classics and modern pop create a beautiful and catchy melody. I can't get enough of it, and I keep putting the Theme on repeat.
1. Bon Iver: For Emma, Forever Ago
2. Trevor Jones: The Last of the Mohicans
3. Yann Tiersen: Amelie
If you're also preparing for your finals, best of luck and I hope this music helps you out!
Carpe Diem,
Brooke
