Bore U – Twen 

This song came from a really small and niche band I listened to a lot before coming to Dublin, but it also happened to be a band that one of my new friends listened to as well. We bonded over this song on one of the first bus rides into the city. 

Infinite Sky – Twen 

The same band, but I’ll remember this song for a different reason. It reminds me of frolicking through the field with the golden sunlight after coming back from our first dinner at Devitts. 

Growing Old is Getting Old – Silversun Pickups

I listened to this song a lot while at the gym and on the way to class. 

My Dahlia – Smashing Pumpkins

One of my friends from the program added this as a background song to her story and it reminds me of her! 

Fake ID – Big & Rich 

This song will remind me of completing our finance case study on the fourth of July.

Arizona – Kings of Leon

During american themed trivia, they had a music category and this was the only song nobody had ever heard of. 

Open Ended – Holy Munro

While walking through St. Stephen’s Green on my birthday, I heard one of the best street performers and looked her up and added this song to my playlist.

Cross Your Mind – Shelly

Found this song a couple days after it came out and it became my go-to first song whenever i put my airpods in. 

Take it Easy – Eagles

This song is played surprisingly a lot in Ireland. I’ll also always remember my sister yelling “I love this song!” when a musician started playing it in a pub. 

Zombie – The Cranberries

Brace yourself to hear this song every time you walk down Grafton Street. You will hear it at least 20 times during your stay in Dublin as it’s practically the anthem for the country. I think we even heard it in Northern Ireland. 

Jackie Down The Line – Fontaines D.C.

I shazammed this song while we were out in Belfast, and added it (another Irish artist) to my playlist. 

Rolling Punches – For Nina 

This one was recommended to me on Instagram and the band is from Dublin!
