10 Cover Songs You Never Knew You Needed

1. Lennon and Maisy - Boom Clap (Charlie XCX)

These adorable sisters are ridiculously talented, and also have a roles on ABC's Nashville. Oh, did I mention Lennon is 15 and Maisy is 11? Yeah.

You can buy the studio version on iTunes here.

2. DJ Fresh & Ellie Goulding - All I Want (Kodaline)

Ellie Goulding takes a step back from her usual dance anthems, and delivers a beautifully stripped-down version of All I Want while showcasing her ridiculous vocals.

3. Sam Tsui & Casey Breves - Thinking Out Loud / I'm Not The Only One (Ed Sheeran & Sam Smith)

A Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran mash up? Done well? Bravo, Sam Tsui and Casey Breves. Bravo.

4. Demi Lovato - Give Me Love (Ed Sheeran)

It's no secret that Demi is a vocal power house, and hearing her take on Give Me Love is just further proof of her talent.

5. Louisa Wendorff - Blank Space / Style (Taylor Swift)

Louisa's YouTube is full of amazing mash ups, but this one is so good it's approved by Taylor herself.

Buy the single on iTunes here.

6. The Queen and King & Less Is More - Cool Kids / Riptide (Echosmith & Vance Joy)

With 4 and a half million streams on Spotify, this mash up will be stuck in your head, guaranteed.

Buy it on iTunes here.

Listen to it on Spotify here.

7. Miley Cyrus - Jolene (Dolly Parton)

Ever since the "foam finger" incident, people seem to forget how talented Miley is vocally. Let's go back to a simpler time, where everyone agreed that Miley is #goals.

8. Bon Iver - I Can't Make You Love Me / Nick of Time (Bonnie Raitt)

This song gets covered often, but Justin Vernon's rendition is beautiful. I could fall asleep to this every single night.

Buy it on iTunes here.

9. Tori Kelly & Angie Girl - Thinkin Bout You (Frank Ocean)

You may recognize Tori from Vine, but her talent deserves way more than 6 seconds.

Buy her EP here.

10. Birdy - Skinny Love (Bon Iver)

This song is a popular one to be covered (Ed Sheeran did, and beautifully) but this version is hauntingly beautiful with the piano.

Buy it on iTunes here.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
