After coming home from work last week and doing nothing but binge watching 'Stranger Things' on Netflix and then being totally overcome by a post-Netflix show depression, I missed the awesome music almost more than anything else (especially that badass theme song..). So, I decided to compile a short list of 5 songs that you should add to your playlist right now if you miss the music like I do:
1. "New Life" - Depeche Mode
This song is totally synthed out, just like the rest of the list will be, and I love it. Of course, I loved Depeche Mode before compiling this list, but this song really reminded me of the show. It's kind of a split between upbeat and ambiguous and I really liked that about it.
2. "In the Air Tonight" - Phil Collins
I mean come on, this one is a classic. If this song wasn't already on your playlist, there's a problem. However, especially after watching the show, I've been listening to this song on repeat pretty much.
3. "Time After Time" - Cyndi Lauper
Again, this is a classic and, if you don't shamelessly jam out to this song every time you hear it, you're wrong. This is one of my all time favorite 80's songs and it perfectly reminds me of the Stranger Things' soundtrack.
4. "Don't You (Forget About Me)" - Simple Minds
This song not only reminds me of the music of the show, but also, of course, The Breakfast Club, which is undoubtedly one of the best movies of all time. Again, if you don't completely lose it when this song comes on, you need to change your ways and get with it.
5. "Should I stay or Should I Go" - The Clash
If you've seen the show, you'll understand this one..
Enjoy!
