Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student assistant Marissa (class of 2025). It’s called “Brain Scratch.”

Brain Scratch

Ever listen to a song that scratches a certain itch in your brain? Or, in other words, a song that no matter how many times you listen to it, you can’t seem to get tired of it? I like to refer to those as “brain scratch songs”. This playlist describes that feeling for me, and I hope it will for you as well.

Tame Impala – “Borderline”

Declan McKenna – “Brazil”

Kelly Clarkson – “Breakaway”

Edison Lighthouse – “Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)”

Parsons Playlists: “The Turn of the Seasons”

Posted on October 14, 2022 by marmstr3

Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student assistant Marissa (class of 2025) songs celebrating the transition from summer to fall.

The Turn of the Seasons

This playlist starts out with that feeling of missing the warm weather and the ease of summer. As the songs go on, the listener feels more accepting of the new season, and is eventually overwhelmed by the excitement of leaves falling and sweater weather.
