In addition to upbeat music, a chiller playlist will present a different kind of mood for studying. In an interview with Tim Seppala, from the website Engadget, Reznor Woods, who has a Ph.D. in auditory neuroscience, said, “Just making something that’s not distracting is not enough.” The repetition in the music creates a calming effect because your brain can predict the next sound. This is why music with a calmer beat and softer lyrics could be an alternative if you don’t want anything upbeat.
This playlist that I created consists of chill songs with soft beats to calm anyone into the perfect studying mood:
Here are some noteworthy tracks:
1. “Just Friends” by Keshi. This song has a slow beat behind gentle lyrics, never reaching a climax. This song is gentle through and through and a wonderful choice for study time.
2. “Waiting for You” by Verzache. This song is the epitome of Lo-Fi hip-hop, with heavy bass and simple lyrics. This song is sure to create a calm environment for studying.
3. “Daydreamer” by Khai Dreams. This song has a familiar tune if you are interested in Studio Ghibli, the melody being from the song “One Summer’s Day.” This track is quiet and tranquil, offering wonderful background for studying.
4. “I Can’t Just” by Daren Yuen and Paul New. This song is a little heavier than the others, but Yuen’s smooth voice makes up for it. This is a song sure to put anyone in a chill mood.
5. “Socks” by Dominic Fike. Fike has an amazing voice that is very homey and calming. His vocals are accompanied by a nice backtrack that makes it perfect for studying.
