If we are allowed non-english songs:
1.
Enakke Enakkaa from the movie 'Jeans'
2.
Ponmagal Vandaal from the movie 'Azhagiya Tamil Magan'
3.
Poovukkul from the movie 'Jeans'

Nee Kobapattal from the movie 'Villu'
6.
Ella Pugazhum from the movie 'Azhagiya Tamil Magan'
These [and more other songs] I've always used in a playlist when doing some sort of activity involving studying, it mainly helps me keep motivated and more upbeat [even when the homework is painful], or feel somewhat calm and smart interstellar theme goes here. The non-english songs [tamil] are also what I listen to as it provides a nice and interesting contrast to English songs, I would assume that most TSR users have never heard of these songs but I'd give them ago [especially some of the music videos] as you might be in for a ride [even if you don't get the lyrics [although there should be subtitles!]]

14.
Kuromatso by LoFi Geek
This applies to anyone but especially if you think in words.
So all of these tracks are lyric-less.
I broke my selections into 2 categories:
Tracks 1-9 have very dark academia vibes. You feel like you’re studying in a fantasy castle or an old college. Complete with lots of piano and rain sounds, I prefer these ones in the darker winter and autumn months.
Tracks 10-14 are mostly LoFi, with more modern sounds and a few have higher pitched tinkling. For me, this makes them feel brighter and less heavy and I love to revise to them in the spring/summer. 📚
Okay I've changed my mind, there are also some songs with English lyrics, but they don't distract me as much as some others do....
Okay well I feel like this is a kind of crazy mix, it's really no wonder that Joe Hisaishi and Tchaikovsky were in my top artists on Spotify because I listen to them all the time for revision... anyways...

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE
It mainly consists of dramatic music that makes me feel like if I don't complete my tasks in time, I'm going to be ambushed and devoured.
I recommend doing something similar cause it's strangely efficient (even though when I study, it scares me a bit because I start thinking about how the final Exams will slaughter me)!!
1.
Mozart : Lacrimosa from Requiem in D minor (Arr. For Piano and Voice Quartet)
2.
Karl Jenkins : Concerto Grosso for Strings "Palladio": I. Allegretto
3.
Vivaldi : The Four Seasons, Concerto No. 2 in G minor, RV 315 "Summer": III. Presto
4.
Vivaldi : The Four Seasons, Concerto No. 4 in F minor, RV 297 "Winter": I. Allegro non molto
5.
Simon Rattle, Berliner Philharmoniker – Brahms: Hungarian Dance No. 1 in G Minor, WoO 1
6.
Litvinovsky : Suite for Strings "Le Grand Cahier": X. L'Incendie
Dramatic classical music somehow makes me feel professional and advanced for some reason...
7.
Then I either play elevator music on YouTube or a horror soundtrack
It mainly makes me feel like a horror movie protagonist who needs to complete quests/missions in order to be free and not get nicely murdered by monstrous exams
8.
Ramstein : Radio
9.
Ramstein : Feuer frei!
These 2 songs really helped me with learning German vocabulary - I recommend anyone studying a language to listen to songs of their language!! + Ramstein proposes the calmest and most comfortable music I've ever heard haha
10.
AC/DC: Back In Black (It's the Best feeling because I'm DONE with revision for the day!!! )
It's like the ending of a movie where the protagonist is walking away from a building in slow motion with an explosion in the background... it's the most sensational thought that I'm free from the grasp of worry (which eventually will come back and I would need to explode another building for this thought).

ooh i love it 😁
So let's set the scene...
Coming home from a long day of school or an early morning, running low on motivation or the drive to study, don't worry....I've got you:
Starting off strong.... the brain needs a little bit of convincing to study and this song does just that. Starting with a smooth, melodic and peaceful ambience, SUDDENLY at 1:00, the pressure to study kicks in....let the academic comeback commence:
1. This is Berk ~ John Powell (from how to train your dragon)
Okay, the brain isn't fully in the zone yet this next song is the time to LOCK IN:
2. Test Drive ~ John Powell (from how to train your dragon)
6 minutes in 🥳, time to mellow the music to allow you brain to focus on retaining the information your learning. Whenever I listen to Song 3 I feel like I'm in an ancient Chinese garden, surrounded by cherry blossoms. Song 4, has a similar effect, except this time I'm looking at a beautiful landscape from the tallest tower in Camelot
3. Panda Po ~ Hans Zimmer x John Powell (from Kung fu Panda)
4. Fairytale ~ Harry Gregson-Williams x John Powell (from Shrek)
Uh-Oh... the brain's retention time is falling time to give it an electric shock:
5. Main title ~ Ramin Djawadi (from game of thrones)
Now our brain is wide awake, time for my favourite song. This song makes me feel like I'm walking on a tightrope between academic success and failure...as the song progresses I make my way to the side of success🥳🥳
6. Oogway ascends ~ Hans Zimmer (from Kung fu Panda)
Sigh. To study, or not to study, that is the question - except you don't have a choice with this song, the intensity, the TENSION, come on get back to work...
7. His dark materials ~ Lorne Balfe (from his dark materials)
You thought you were going to get a mellow song...WRONG. Now is the time to put studying into full gear... brave the raging waters and the pirates and push through...you've got this:
8. He's a Pirate ~ Klaus Badelt (from Pirates of the Caribbean)
Fine...you can have a mellow song now...enjoy💙
9. Forbidden Friendship ~ John Powell (from how to drain your dragon)
Have a few more...🫶
10. Coming Back Around ~ John Powell (from how to train your dragon)
11. Only The Beginning Of The Adventure ~ Harry Gregson-Williams (from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe)
12. Romantic Flight ~ John Powell (from how to train your dragon)
Back to the Cherry Blossoms Garden, this time your watching the Lion dance (if you don't know what this is- do search it up
13. Dragon Warrior Rises ~ Hans Zimmer x John Powell (from Kung fu Panda)
NEARLY THERE....45 mins of studying later... your at an all-time high, you remember everything... here's your prize:
14. Honor Him ~ Hans Zimmer x Gavin Greenway x The Lyndhurst Orchestra (from Gladiator)
AND FINALLY...
15. Now We Are Free ~ Lisa Gerrard x Klaus Badelt x Hans Zimmer x Lyndhurst Orchestra x Bruce Fowler x Yvonne S.Moriarty x Walt Fowler x Ladd McIntosh x Elizabeth Finch (from Gladiator)
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY COMMENTARY xoxo

Oh my daysss - this would make me feel like I was in a movie too!!
so true!!
I saw a Hans Zimmer live orchestra, it was amazing!
Missed the deadline, but my thoughts on this would be definitely an instrumental playlist - lyrics usually distract you even if you don't know it, sometimes I find myself singing along in my head. Classical is a lot of students go to and has been posted on here, but personally I find myself going "oh I know this, what is it called?" or trying to remember where I'd heard it before. I was listening to a classical music playlist once, and it had a song they played everyday at my primary school assembly. That definitely threw me off. 😅
My go to are J Dilla Instrumental Mixes. You can find hours and hours of them on YouTube, and they're just old 90's-00's hip-hop beats. Most of them are from niche instrumental albums, or unreleased tracks - very few you might have heard unless you go digging for that sound. Makes it very easy to study without being distracted by familiarity, but also listen to something you enjoy, if you enjoy that music.

That's my playlist!!
I use it all the time (there's a few more songs) and I think it's good because it's a mix of chill songs, which mean I don't get distracted from dancing, but also good songs that I like. It also helps me romanticise studying, making me more productive and able to concentrate on working! I also listen to songs that don't have English lyrics so that my brain doesn't lose focus trying to understand lyrics. I try to feed in my Rory Gilmore, etc energy when studying so I have a few songs from the Gilmore Girls soundtrack and ultimately songs that everyone (or at least my classmates aha) love!! <3
Good luck everyone!! You all have amazing playlists!!!

Lost in the Dark - Jaider Trujillo Amaya
Night Snow-Asher Fulero
A Sputnik Moment-Aerian
From an exciting start to your 35-40 minute study session to a satisfying and silent finish.
As you embark on your study journey, you'll be greeted by the invigorating beats of "Marathon" by Senpai Ru, setting the tone for a productive session ahead. From there, let the captivating melodies of "Vox 'Explained' - Main Theme" and the uplifting sounds of "On Top of the World" by e-soundtrax carry you through your work. The playlist ends with peaceful soundscapes for a smooth wind-down such as Nigh Snow by Asher Fulero and Sputnik by Aerian.
Also, I matched the endings of songs with the beginnings of the next ones so that your experience is NOT jarring.
Any suggestions let me know, I would love to hear them as well as your favourite piece of several pieces. I sincerely hope that you all discover new music and broaden your music taste.
Hope you all had a great bank holiday weekend
