Relaxing by Gasson (Rachel’s playlist)<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Let\u2019s be real, it\u2019s very hard to go straight into homework mode after several consecutive morning classes. That\u2019s why I decided to make this playlist. It\u2019s the perfect unwinding playlist that allows you to listen, relax, and most important, appear studios amongst other imposters who are doing the exact same thing. I previously had a playlist that contained 50+ songs but I figured, no one has enough time to go through all of someone else\u2019s songs, so I\u2019ve narrowed it down to my favorite 18 tracks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Come on, you can\u2019t go wrong with Elton John to relax so of course the first two songs are by him!<\/p>\n

(“Tiny Dancer”, “Rocket Man”)\u00a0<\/p>\n

Next up is \u201cSay\u201d by John Mayer: I love this song because it reminds you not to hold things in and just \u201csay what you need to say\u201d (sorry to point out the obvious).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSomewhere Only We Know\u201d might be my absolute favorite\u2026 mostly because it was the song for the Winnie the pooh movie which just makes me feel like such a child again.\u00a0https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BShTnZm9X_4<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d Rather Be With You\u201d by Joshua Radin, is another song that doesn\u2019t need explaining it just is relaxing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

John Mayer\u2019s song \u201cSlow Dancing in a Burning Room\u201d is so slow that you can\u2019t help but unwind.<\/p>\n

\u201cBreathe\u201d by Taylor Swift is a key song because it reminds us all to breathe even if that\u2019s not what the lyrics are about haha.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Considering Maroon 5 was a highly favored band within our class, I had to include \u201cShe Will Be Loved.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCome on get higher\u201d lightens my mood every time I listen to it, so of course I included it.<\/p>\n

I know there are some bieber fans out there still, I personally am not, however I do like one of his less popular songs \u201cBe Alright\u201d because it also is a distressing song when you feel like things are falling apart.<\/p>\n

\u201cCollide\u201d by Howie Day all you need to hear is the \u201cdo do do do do\u201d and no other lyrics, don\u2019t get me wrong I love the lyrics too.<\/p>\n

\u201cBubbly\u201d by Colbie Caillat is another one of my favorites, it never ceases to make me smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finally, I end with \u201cHome\u201d by Daughtry, the chorus in this song is too catchy for me to leave it out of my selective playlist. As it is about going home it seems to fit as the final song of the playlist.<\/p>\n

With all that being said, I hope you enjoy listening to it! -RR<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
