Stampede Staff Playlist: November Edition
Here are some songs to spice up your month! These songs have been picked and recommended by the Stampede. Compiled in this list, each song is described and recommended in detail.
Poor George by James Supercave
“Poor George”: Half mocking, half melancholy; this is the story of pride that goes before the fall. The titular George is both his own character and a symbol for the particular carelessness of men, and although the narrator holds pity for the character as George becomes darker with every verse,and reacts in screaming grief to George’s implied catastrophic death at the very end, there is a sen...
“Don’t Let’s Start” by They Might Be Giants
“They Might Be Giants,” perhaps my favorite band, has something for everyone. While this song is one of their older ones, and therefore more abstract in nature compared to their newer, more obvious lyrics, it still has a recognizable story: a man trying as hard as he can to persuade his girlfriend to not break up with him, despite the relationship hitting a breaking point. With its gnarled sound a...
Debussy Preludes: Bruyeres by Philharmonia Orchestra and Geoffrey Simon
The Debussy Preludes are a masterclass in using instrumental music to piece together a set, and Bruyeres is no exception- especially in this gentle orchestral rearrangement by Percy Grainger. The scene is set: An endlessly vast night sky with a pale moon, hinting at worlds beyond wildest dreams as heather flowers sway on the rich green ground. This is a song I often listen to when I am at the begi...
Emily by Declan McKenna
When I first listened to this song, the sky started to glow orange, and by the time the song was done, the sun had completely set. I actually have a playlist called “songs that deserve their own emotion” and this song is the first one on there. Although it may sound dramatic, Emily is one of the few songs that I can physically feel. ...
Lost in Translation by The Neighbourhood
The Neighborhood has always been one of my favorite bands, and when they came out with a new album this year, I was the first in line to listen. This song immediately stuck out to me and became one of my favorites. My favorite is the very beginning where the style completely changes and completely turns the mood around. ...
Isabella of Castile by STRFKR
I actually just discovered this artist a couple days ago. I got so excited because I have not had much luck finding new music and then I came across “STRFKR” and I love every single one of their songs! I definitely recommend this whole album but this one is my favorite. When I first heard it I felt immediate serotonin. ...
Going Out by Role Model
“Going Out” is a song that shines a light on the kids who are okay with staying home on Friday nights, the kids that may find comfort in being by themselves. I love this song because as much as I want to be the friend that’s the life of the party, I am not. I’m the friend who will make plans days in advance and then cancel them the day of just because I would rather read or sleep and that�...
Fade by The Driver Era
The Lynch brothers released this song because they felt like people really needed a feel-good song during these tough times. Fade tells the story of the ups and downs of life and how you just need to keep holding on because after the storm there’s always sun. If you are into artists like Wallows or Finneas then you should definitely check out The Driver Era. ...
Say it Over by Ruel ft. Cautious Clay
The mix of Ruel and Cautious Clays melodic voices make this song feel almost ethereal. This song is about maturing and moving on with life. Ruel sang a story of maturing and realizing that he had to let go of people who were holding him back. A lot of high school students stick around people who only end up hurting them in the long run. I think this song is truly so important. ...
Roi by Videoclub
This song is all sung in French and in translation, the term “Roi” means king. In the context of the song, I interpret it as having deep love and admiration for someone that you treat like royalty. Recently, I finished the Netflix original series, “Emily in Paris.”. While I may not be able to sing it, it still gives me groovy vibes at any time of day. I always use this as a motivator to driv...
Killing Me Softly With His Song by Fugees
Two words to describe this song. Amazing vocals. All three members Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Pras bring their own style to the song and like I said, amazing vocals. This sweet 1996 oldie brings both hip hop and soul to the mix. I recommend this song because it gives off a great vibe and is top tier in my book. ...
Pretty Girl by Clairo
This song is so important to me because it talks about the idea that everyone, not just girls, have gone through: feeling the need to dress and act a certain way for a lover, like a “pretty girl.” The music video itself portrayed so much meaning as it was all filmed and directed by Clairo as she claims “I felt really ugly but realized that it's perfectly okay to feel that way/have those types ...
