I have a revision playlist.
I won't bore you with all of it, but Oasis and Lady GaGa feature very heavily.

His music is just so relaxing!

It means walk in the shadow.

I find I work best to classical/instrumental music, as song lyrics just distract me.
Ludovico Eindaudi is my personal favourite for revising to.

I agree with classical music - soundtracks work too. Personally, the Avatar soundtrack, Harry Potter soundtracks and Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks work well for me. Avatar is good background music, there is so much HP music that you never reach the end of the playlist so don't feel like you've worked for as long because no songs repeat, and PotC generally makes me feel like I can do anything, including chemistry revision :biggrin:

You asked me what it meant, I did a Google search, and apparently that is the meaning. :/

Don't stop believing! When your feeling down.
'ABC' when your trying to write an English essay
'All about tonight' When after a long day of revision your going out with friends.
'Because of you' When you realise half way through revision that your going to fail your exam because you have a rubbish teacher!
'The final countdown'. When your on your last week of revision.
'Gonna get caught' by Demi lovato. When your are considering cheating during an exam the night before.
'I won't give up'. When...well your giving up!

Anything on Nicki Minaj's new album

I can guarantee that Nicki Minaj will do nothing for your exam results, if anything it'll cause a severe reduction in IQ points and is to be avoided.

Believe it or not rappers are very intelligent people, you're just asserting a stereotype

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours and Bob Dylan Highway 61 Revisited.
Stick Velvet Underground & Nico on too. And if you have time Astral Weeks by Van Morrison. Buddy Holly is also a nice addition. :smile:

EDIT - Stick The Beatles catalogue on that too. :tongue:

Whenever I feel like I've lost all my steam, I like to listen to Mulan - I'll Make a Man out of you. If Mulan can do it, I can do it too!

Just be careful not to led it lead you to endless youtube surfing.

I do this too! It's motivational :tongue:

I also prefer classical or instrumental music when I'm working. I get bored quickly though so I tend to change frequently - that's the great thing about having Spotify !

At the moment I'm listening to an album called "Classical Study Music" which is nice and chilled

I also sometimes like soundtracks - especially "Sherlock Holmes" , "Avatar" and "Pirates of the Caribbean". Maybe even some Disney once in a while ...

Same, although I tend to punctuate my breaks with a good rock out song :rock:

and something acoustic to help me relax at the end. My soundtracks tend to be from games like the Portal 2 one or from films as you say.
