Boys Don’t Cry - The Cure
The riffs in this song are the best for bedroom dance parties! The timeless voice of The Cure is sure to brighten spirits.
warm glow - Hippo Campus
This song is super relaxing, great for unwinding those pent up quarantine emotions. This would definitely take place in an indie coming of age film.

This song is super fun to just bop too. It features a beautiful breakdown and changes tempo, but manages a fun tone. Great song to have fun to!
Mary Jane (All Night Long) - Mary J. Blige

Charley’s Girl - Lou Reed
A super chill song, Charley’s Girl serves great for when you need a happy but chill song to put on while working.
Mystery of Love - Sufjan Stevens
This may or may not be on repeat because of Call Me By Your Name, regardless, this is a beautiful song that works wonders for when you need to calm down and feel peaceful.
Alex - Girls
While the band Girls is not very well known, they really should be. This song is beautiful and moving, as well as being a great example of modern rock. With many changes in the song, beautiful lyricism, and excellent rifs, it's a great song to know.
Knock Knock - Mac Miller
This is a perfect song to just let go and have fun to. Another great one for that bedroom dance party, as well as for lifting spirits.
MOSHPIT - Baby Keem
This song is all hype. I’m sure you’ve heard it all over the internet, it’s a great song for just getting hype.
Ms. Jackson - Outkast
Ms. Jackson is timeless. Coming up on its 20th anniversary, you can’t help but groove along and echo its chorus. You’ll be apologizing a trillion times for playing it over and over and over…
There Is a Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths
Of course, I’ve gotta end this with a song by the Smiths. The Smiths, although not for everyone at first, have many beautiful, moving, and meaningful songs, and this is one of them. Catchy as ever, this song will stick in your head and you’ll be singing with the chorus before you know it.
