10 Songs that Help Me Function as a Human

Everyone has that one song, maybe even a whole playlist, that they need to listen to to be able to start their day off or to help them get through a particularly hard day. Here are some of mine:

When I need to get out of a funk:
Feel It Still by Portugal. The Man
Ophelia by The Lumineers
Wish I Knew You by The Revivalists
Dog Days are Over by Florence + the Machine

When I need to concentrate on my writing:
The Girl by City and Colour
Arsonist’s Lullaby by Hozier
My Eyes by The Lumineers

When I’ve had a long day and I’m ready to wind down and relax:
Slow Hands by Niall Horan
Spirits by The Strumbellas
First by Cold War Kids

I want to go to college to study journalism and travel the world.

  1. I’ve heard all of the songs on your list, you have an interesting taste in music! I like how all of these songs are upbeat and not so mainstream; you have a very creative playlist. Great post!

  2. I love Florence + the Machine, and that specific song is so uplifting. And I totally agree that there are songs that help or affect you a certain way. That’s why I don’t have a very distinct music taste. I love vastly different songs for different reasons. If you haven’t heard it yet, I recommend listening to Breath of Life by Florence + the machine.

  3. I love that you wrote a list, but put each into categories, very original! I love many of these songs as well! 🙂

  4. I’ve listened to some of these artists but some I have never heard of. I can relate to needing certain songs for certain emotions. Maybe next time I’m in a mood I’ll give some of these songs a listening to.
