I started making this playlist intending to have some slow, inoffensive background music to study to and I actually just made myself fucking depressed. Enjoy.

White Ferrari β Frank OceanWhat can I say? Frank Ocean is the king of sad boi hours and the master of the cry to/fuck to genre. I donβt know about you but I struggle studying to anything with poppy, repetitive lyrics and this one is perfect because the lyrics make absolutely no sense until you go at them with your English degree.Funeral β Phoebe BridgersI truly donβt know what I was thinking when I put a song literally about a funeral on a study playlist. If youβre not already uncontrollably sobbing in the stacks at the library when Phoebe gets to the line βJesus Christ Iβm so blue all the timeβ you probably donβt have a soul.Circles β Mac MillerAn ode to feeling directionless, this song is simultaneously calming and unsettling, especially if youβve been staring at a blank word doc for the last hour. Let the dreamy production and Macβs soulful words be your figurative thunder blanket <3Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America β The 1975Willing to bet the song title is just as chaotic as your sleeping pattern at the moment.Freakinβ Out On The Interstate β Briston MaroneyChange the lyrics to βfreakinβ out on Wairere Driveβ and you have an accurate depiction of the commute to uni every morning.Asleep β The SmithsThis one is for the people who think liking Pulp Fiction is a personality trait. Any sad indie playlist has to have a requisite The Smiths song to build indie credibility. I donβt make the rules, I just follow them and then proclaim to be anti-establishment.Transatlanticism β Death Cab For CutieThis was my most played song of 2011 which is living proof that it doesnβt get better. The instrumentation really builds, much like your anxiety when presented with your workload for the next 3 months.No Oneβs Gonna Love You β Band of HorsesYouβve probably heard this song in several TV shows and movies. Itβs always in that sad panning shot just after someoneβs been dumped. Great to listen to while you watch raindrops race in the car and reflect on how youβre the main character.Truce β Twenty One PilotsMy flatmate had this album on vinyl and scratched it. The needle would get stuck on the line βstay aliveβ and just repeat it over and over until we moved it. One time it got stuck repeating βyou will dieβ and I think about that moment a lot.Flightless Bird, American Mouth β Iron & WineYeah, this is from the Twilight Soundtrack and I stand by it. Absolutely bangs and if youβre studying to it you can escape to a place in your mind where youβre slow dancing at prom with a questionably sexy, unquestionably rich vampire in 2008.This Is Me Trying β Taylor SwiftβSo I got wasted like all my potentialβ is the most relatable lyric of all of 2020 and if I didnβt tell you it was TSwiz you wouldnβt be currently rolling your eyes.
