We all have moments when words fail us, yet they mysteriously seem to desert the most the exact moment we're trying to impress someone. Yet no need to fear, the word on the street has it that when words fail, music speaks! Don't worry if you can't play an instrument or if your singing voice isn't the finest, you can just send a link to the song on your crush's Facebook page. If you're having trouble choosing a song or all the ones you find just seem overused, this list provides some suggestions that may solve your dilemma.

1. Heart On - Celldweller

Sometimes catching the grenade isn't enough

This is song you want to use if you've liked the other person for quite some time now, and you've tried everything you can possibly think of to let her know that you love her (short of actually using those words, of course). Or if you and your bae are going on two years now and you just want to send a reminder of how madly you love him or her.


2. Angel With a Shotgun - The Cab

If you're looking for an equally epic song that is not so electronic-y or in your face as the first song and/or "Grenade" is too overplayed for you, "Angel With a Shotgun" is a great alternative. Doesn't matter if your a saint or a sinner, this song will sweep your girl off her feet.

3. Here's Your Freakin' Song - Bowling for Soup

Honestly, what were you expecting?

Perhaps you have the opposite problem, and are fed up with your significant other. He or she keeps nagging you about all these petty things and you're finally ready to let them know exactly what you think of it. Well then, here's your freakin' song.

4. Apples and Cinnamon - Utada Hikaru

Maybe you weren't expecting the previous song from your jerk of an ex; you really thought you two had something special. Maybe you had a break up with someone that despite how well you two just fit, it was just too good to last. This is a slower number that captures your yearning perfectly.

5. Never Dance Again - Blue Stahli

Never has revenge looked so glamorous

In reality, you're most likely bitter over the breakup, and are convinced that your ex was an absolute jerk (the signs were there, thank God you finally noticed them). You've also plotted how you're going to crush his or her heart if you ever see said ex again. Hopefully, you're driving when this happens with this song going full blast.

6. Two Princes - Spin Doctors

If there's anything more painful than being in love, it's being love with a person who is clearly crushing/dating some obvious loser. Let her know you're the one who will treat her right with this song.

7. Lonely Hearts Club - Marina and the Diamonds

Accepting applications from January to December

No matter how you slice it, being single often gets lonely. Make this the anthem song of your singles group or Galentine's Party. After all, isn't that exactly what they are?

8. Terrible Things - Mayday Parade

Perhaps you've had one too many bad breakups or spent one day too many locked in your room listening to your favorite pop punk band and are currently completely disillusioned with love and romance in general. Let's face it, sometimes life just does terrible things, and someone needs to remind the lovebirds that Romeo and Juliet isn't a good thing to be.

9. Music is My Boyfriend - Skye Sweetnam

Why does no one understand this?

Maybe you're the rare dynamic individual who truly believes in "no boyfriend, no problem." Who needs a boyfriend when you have headphones, right? Keep those pesky boys off your case by letting them you're already taken.

10. Sugar - Kerli

Just send this to your significant other as a subtle, in-your-face way to let them know you're hoping for a bit more than chocolates on Valentine's Day. Or any date for that matter.

11. You're a Vampire - One-Eyed Doll

And who said goths don't have a sense of humor?

This one's a lovely random bonus number to send your goth girl or guy if they have a sense of humor. Maybe you can use it to tick off some Twi-hard you know. It's kinda up to your imagination.

12. I'll See You Again - S3rl feat. Chi Chi

Those of you in a long-distance relationship, you haven't been forgotten! While it can be painful to be separated, send your partner this song to remind them how much you love them and that it won't last forever.

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.
