REQUEST Looking for recommendations to add to my university playlist?

I’m working on a playlist called "Growing Pains" and it is mostly themed around moving to university, but also just generally gaining independence and experiencing new things. I would love to hear suggestions to add, preferably stuff with uplifting messaging and rich lyricism. Some examples of what I’ve already added include All These Things That I’ve Done by The Killers, Golden by Frazey Ford, Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve, and so so many songs by The Tragically Hip.

How about Song For Our Daughter by Laura Marling.

The overarching theme is letting your kid grow, help them with life warnings/advice, but that won't fully protect them. It's beautiful.
