I couldn’t decide on just one song to capture how I’m feeling on this second-to-last weekend of the year, so here are three to help you get through the end of 8th block:<\/p>\n

\u201cFriday Night, Saturday Morning\u201d by The Specials<\/strong>
\n\u201cOut of bed at eight AM \/ Out my head by half past ten \/ Out with mates and dates and friends \/ That\u2019s what I do at weekends\u201d and then the catchy refrain: \u201cI go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning.\u201d This song is just like all of your eighth block weekends, except if your eighth block was taking place in England forty years and was narrated by a ska revival band.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Some Faraway Beach\u201d by Brian Eno<\/strong>
\nMaybe the most nostalgia-inducing song ever. When you drive or fly home in a few weeks, play this song as you stare out the window and you will probably cry. Very tender, very epic.<\/p>\n

\u201cSaturday Night Inside Out\u201d by the Avalanches<\/strong><\/p>\n

SO<\/em> good! This song will mess you up emotionally and take you to another place. It\u2019s basically a spoken word poem by David Berman of the band Silver Jews in collaboration with The Avalanches. Around 00:45, you start hearing an amazing beat and the song becomes so beautiful. I have a hard time describing what I feel when listening to this song, but I think it\u2019s intended to be a reflection on youth and growing up \u2013 which is what we all deal with every day in college. Especially for you seniors graduating, this song is for you. (Also if you haven\u2019t heard The Avalanches\u2019 album Wildflower, it\u2019s so incredible and this song feels so much more special as the last track on the album.)<\/p>\n
