Perfect playlist- Lucy Wan

THE PERFECT PLAYLIST FOR BACKGROUND MUSIC

When I'm studying, or doing homework, or simply sitting around, I like to have background music playing. Listening to music helps me concentrate and relax. These are the five songs that I have running constantly in the background.

1. Somewhere- July
In one of my many YouTube binges, I discovered this artist named July. His songs are all piano with a simple beat, easy to listen to and not distracting. I really like the melodies of all his songs.

2. Peacock- DJ Okawari
Here's another artist I found randomly on YouTube. Peacock and Luv Letter by DK Okawari are always on my playlist because they're awesome instrumentals. The sax solo and beat in this song are great.

3. Almost is Never Enough- Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande is probably better known for her pop songs, but this is my favorite song of hers. Ariana and Nathan Sykes's vocals are so smooth, and I love the piano in this song. 

4. Say Something- Pentatonix
The original version of this song is upbeat and poppy, but for background music, I prefer the cover by Pentatonix. Pentatonix is one of my favorite vocal groups- you might recognize them from the Sing-Off. They're incredibly talented and this cover is no exception to the consistently great content they create.

5. Totoro Theme- Sungha Jung
By now, you've probably noticed I like quite a few artists from YouTube, so it's no surprise that I found this cover there as well. Sungha Jung has made countless covers, but this is probably my favorite. Growing up, Totoro was a staple in my movie collection. Jung is a talented guitarist, and the simple melody of Totoro's Theme is great to play in the background.
