The arduous late wake up, slipping into the comfy joggers and oversized band tee of the day and the inevitable \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffuni coursework&#8217; that turns into a 4 hour Netflix binge just before bed. And with the end of it all not yet within visible sight, here at Quench&#8217;s music department, we&#8217;ve decided to compile together a couple of playlists to help us all get through this crisis with at least some of our sanity intact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within these two sets of 10 songs we&#8217;ve covered all of the bases of life in quarantine. If you&#8217;re looking for a set of tunes to play lounging in the back garden&#8217;s sun, the first ten songs are for you. Whereas, if like many of us, you are experiencing at least 3 or 4 existential crisis a day, the second 10 tracks have a song for each of those moments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10 Songs for back-garden chills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here Comes the Sun \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 The Beatles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, an obvious choice, but the obvious and the comforting familiarity of songs just like this late 60s classic are exactly the kinds of songs we need right now. Great tune to put you at ease too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Avant Gardener \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 Courtney Barnett&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A brilliant lyrical account of what many of us gardening virgins, perhaps looking for refuge amongst the compost, have discovered in the last 6 weeks. The Australian songwriter shows us the perils of productivity in a 4 minute stunner about an asthma attack.\u252c\u00e1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Courtney Barnett - Avant Gardener\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bcnIhzaDTd0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sunflower \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 Vampire Weekend&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps a better accompaniment to those of us who have successfully grappled the tricks of the gardening trade, Monty Don style. This short but sweet song comes from the groups most recent album \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffFather of the Bride&#8217; and shows off a smoothly rhythmical base lick.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mr Blue Sky \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 Electric Light Orchestra<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another classic of our childhoods which for me gives off real Magic Roundabout flashbacks. Perfect for a midday lunch out on the patio or for that daily dose of government approved exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bros \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 Wolf Alice&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A beautiful, shimmering pearl of a song that to me sounds sunny and joyful, even if the lyrics themselves might make you pine after your mates a little.\u252c\u00e1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Wolf Alice - Bros (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TD_Q9CxXTo4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bone \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most peaceful and pleasant songs the Aussie psych rock outfit have ever produced and holds just the right level of weird to perfectly represent my own levels of insanity at the moment, just an edge off sane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You Make Loving Fun \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 Fleetwood Mac<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Off of their classic 70s record \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffRumours&#8217;, this song is by far the most upbeat on that album and has thus earned its place on this playlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Damselfly \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 Loyle Carner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Play this one whilst the sun is just starting to fade away, you&#8217;ve already had a couple of cold beers and you&#8217;re just relaxing into your chair. Perfect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shine On \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 The Kooks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The perfect band for any summer playlist, it&#8217;s hard to pick just one of their tunes for this one but this 2007 effort does just the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"The Kooks - Shine On\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iKlnG_155M8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Good Vibrations \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 The Beach Boys&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another classic to finish, this title captures exactly what I think we are all striving for at the moment, which is just a bit of peace of mind.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10 songs about life in Isolation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lonely Boy \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 The Black Keys<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It says it all really, just in those two words, it&#8217;s a lonely life this quarantine business. Doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t listen to some good songs though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Living in a Ghost Town \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 The Rolling Stones<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This being the only song on this list that is actually written about the coronavirus outbreak itself, Jagger and co have made us cast our minds to all our favourite places now lying empty and dormant. The abandoned beer gardens alone, are enough to make you weep.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yesterday \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 The Beatles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This melancholic tune is how we were all feeling just after all of this hit the fan. One minute sitting wherever we wanted, however close to other people we wanted. The next day it&#8217;s all gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Yesterday (Remastered 2009)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NrgmdOz227I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Old Friends \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 Circa Waves<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warning. Listen with due caution and a tissue or two to hand. This one will definitely make you miss your mates if you weren&#8217;t already. Zoom calls just aren&#8217;t the same.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Go Your Own Way \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 Fleetwood Mac<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second track from the \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffRumours&#8217; album on this list and whilst it was written as the mother of all break up tunes, I think you&#8217;ll find it is also perfect for summarising how you feel when an impatient middle aged woman isn&#8217;t keeping her 2 metres distance in the queue at Tesco. Think about it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gimme Some Truth \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 John Lennon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuing on our angrier train of thought, this is a song perfectly suited to screaming at the daily coronavirus briefing on the tele, just begging them to tell us when things will start easing up again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Never Had No One Ever \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 The Smiths<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that anger out of the way, this one will send you straight back to sad town.
