Speed of Dark // Emiliana Torrini
Staying motivated during revision is tricky – I find chemistry particularly challenging – but a really good tune can make it that little bit easier. One of my favourite albums to revise to is Tookah by Emiliana Torrini. ‘Speed Of Dark’ is my motivational song because I love the calm lyrics and the light reminder that “Life is just a flicker in the universe,” so revision isn’t the be all and end all! The funky beat and repetitive bass line in the background are also very uplifting, and the cool synths sounds are a great way to keep you calm and concentrating. It’s good to know that when this song comes on I can get a good 5:36 minutes of concentrated revision, even if the rest of my time isn’t spent quite as effectively!
