In Our Ears: Music Reviews

COMPILED BY KATHERINE MARSHALL’26 (SHE/HER) ARTS AND CULTURE EDITOR

Violet ‘26 (she/her)

“Here Comes the Moon” George Harrison

“I love how this song is a play on the Beatles’ more well known song ‘Here Comes the Sun.’ Obviously, the sun is representative of light and happiness, but I really appreciate how this song gives love to the moon for bringing light to darkness and being not just ‘little brother to the sun’ but also ‘mother to the stars at night.’”

Eliza ‘26 (she/her)

“Anywhere With You” Maggie Rogers

“This is an incredible driving at night with the volume up high and windows down song. Maggie Rogers starts the song slow, building to a climax that is so easy to scream along to. The background vocals and music production complement the song incredibly and match the energy of the lyrics perfectly, making ‘Anywhere With You’ catchy, yet still a meaningful ode to the person you would do anything for.”

Josh ‘25 (he/him)

“House of My Soul” Langhorne Slim “A very listenable song”

Connie ‘25 (she/her)

“where’s the confetti?” jev “It’s just a great song.”

Paul ‘25 (he/him)

“Blackbird” Paul McCartney

“My mom used to sing this to me to help me fall asleep when I was younger. It was also the first fingerpicking song I learned how to play on guitar.”

Wells ‘26 (she/her)

“Closer to Fine” Indigo Girls

“It sounds so good on the earphones in Walt. It reminds me of my family and some of my besties from Davidson. It is also just so good.”

Abby ‘26 (she/her)

“Adventures of the Invisible Dog” Allan Wachs

“This song magically appeared in my library and makes me think about driving with the windows down in the prettiest of summer weather.”

Bailey ‘26 (she/her)

“I’m That Girl” Beyoncé

“First heard the intro on tiktok and now I feel so powerful walking through the halls listening to it.”

Bilal ‘25 (he/him)

“Last Night” Morgan Wallen

“Morgan Wallen has been one of my favorite artists in recent memory. His lyrics never fail to transport me to a sentimental road, one that I always enjoy going down. Last night takes one down the same emotional path—truly a work of art. It’s a reflection on the pain, beauty, and messiness of love: a commentary like no other.”
