12 Songs To Put You In A Good Mood

I wish I could say that every day is a great day and we as people are always happy. To say this though, would be a lie, and sometimes, life completely sucks. Enter, music. Music makes everything better-- even a terrible day, week, or month. To help you the next time you have one of these bad days, I put together a list of twelve of my favorite songs to listen to to put me in a better mood.

1. The Wire - HAIM

I recently listened to this song for the first time and immediately loved it. Upbeat and will definitely make you want to dance.

2. Leather and Lace - Stevie Nicks and Don Henley

Stevie Nicks’ voice has a way of calming me down, and is perfectly paired with Don Henley in this song. Perfect song for a rainy day all snug in bed

3. If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out - Cat Stevens

Just Cat Stevens and his guitar. If you’re looking for a song to make you feel like laying in the grass for hours this is it.

4. Little Lies - Fleetwood Mac

I love anything by Fleetwood Mac, but this song especially has a way of putting me in a better mood no matter why I’m down.

5. Wildflowers - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

This is another one of those songs that makes you just want to be outside. Tom Petty you have my soul.

6. Sister Golden Hair - America

If summer were a song it would be this (and who doesn’t love summer?)

7. Loving You Easy - Zac Brown Band

For all you country music haters out there, reconsider. I hated country music until a few years ago, and now can’t imagine how I went so long without blasting this to lift my mood.

8. Tangled Up In Blue - Bob Dylan

It is always a good idea to listen to Bob Dylan

9. Listen to the Music - The Doobie Brothers

Another song that reminds me of summer. Also perfect for driving with the windows down.

10. Friend of the Devil - The Grateful Dead

For those of you who aren’t huge Dead fans, listen to this song and tell me it doesn’t change your mind.

11. Stuck In The Middle With You - Stealers Wheel

A classic dad song that will give you a weird urge to clap along. Just go with it.

12. Pour Some Sugar On Me - Def Leppard

This one might just be me.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
