Reimagining 10 Songs As Different Drugs
Cloudfront

As many of my readers know, I'm a very avid listener of music. I actually listen to music so much that I'm always seen with a pair of headphones and never leave my house without them.

Not only do I listen to regular music, I also have a classically trained voice and can play three different instruments at an intermediate level (Clarinet, French Horn, Bass Clarinet). You can honestly say that I have what we call a "music addiction." Now, what if the songs I've listened to were actually drugs. Well...

1. Bryson Tiller - "Right My Wrongs": Valium

Valium is a very potent drug used to treat anxiety disorders. Overdosing can lead to serious death. This song will give you feelings and sensations that don't even exist. Too much of this song may lead to increased sadness, crying, and multiple Netflix binges.

2. System of A Down - "Chop Suey": Crack Cocaine

Cocaine is one of the most addictive substances in the United States, known to be a very popular stimulant in the drug world. This song needs no explanation for those who know. For those who don't know, you're in for a treat.

3. Chance The Rapper - "No Problem": Dopamine

Dopamine is the "happy" neurotransmitter, sending signals to the brain at a rapid pace. This song is the epitome of happiness and carefree will. There's a whole lot of Dopamine in this one.

4. Jhene Aiko - "While We're Young": Ambien

Ambien is a depressant used for sleeping disorders. Aiko is known for her soulful and soft R&B vibe that can calm down any nervous system.

5. Igor Stravinsky - "Rite of Spring": LSD

This psychedelic drug is known for its lucid trips, altering awareness and allowing the brain to contort reality into different shapes. "Rite of Spring" is one of the most notable compositions created by Stravinsky, who's well known for writing multiple different music styles in one piece.

6. Isaiah Rashad - "4r Da Squaw": Marijuana

Marijuana is very popular drug amongst teenagers and adults alike, looking for that "high" feeling caused by the cannabinoid THC. You'd definitely want to smoke to this song.

7. XXXTENTACION - "Look At Me!": LSD


XXXTENTACION is known for his very violent and controversial lyrics. You'd be going crazy while listening to this song.

8. Bas - "Clouds Never Get Old": Marijuana


Bas is a rapper on J.Cole's label "Dreamville" and this song takes the cake when you're hotboxing with your college friends in your car.

9. Vanessa Carlton - "A Thousand Miles": Dopamine

MAKING MY WAY DOWNTOWN, WALKING FAST, FACES PASS AND I'M HOMEBOUND.

10. Eminem - "Without Me": Crack Cocaine

Honestly, anything from "The Marshall Mathers LP" would feel like crack cocaine.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
