13 Songs Millennials Will Dance To At Their Weddings

Pexel

Have you ever heard that phrase that goes something like "classic music will never go out of style?" Yeah, neither have I. Coming from a big Greek family, I go to approximately two weddings a year, which is actually more than some people have gone to their whole lives. Because of this, I've had a lot of exposure to the famed tradition of the couple's "first dance."

As such, I can confidently affirm that no one wants to hear any more Sinatra, Wonder, Presley, or King Cole. We're tired of it. Surprise us! And if not, the Millennial generation sure will.

1. "One Dance"- Drake

For those Millennials who just "don't believe in" the typical slow wedding song for the first dance, this is going to be your next option.

2. "Wonderwall"- Oasis

If someone could please define "Wonderwall" in the comments for me that would be great.

3. "Sparks"- Coldplay

One of Coldplay's super underrated songs, Sparks, came out right at the turn of the century in 2000. Some lyrics you'll love: "But I promise you this/I'll always look out for you/That's what I'll do."

4. "Thinking Out Loud"- Ed Sheeran

Duh.

(Sneak peek of you and your hubby's first dance to this song!)

5. "Then"- Brad Paisley

Can't make a Millennial wedding playlist without throwing in some country, the bane of an urban Millennial's existence.

6. "Make You Feel My Love"- Adele

Adele is the songbird of our generation; you really can't go wrong with her.

7. "If I Ain't Got You"- Alicia Keyes ft. Usher

If you don't play air-piano to the intro of this song whenever it comes on, you're doing something wrong.

8. "You're Beautiful"- James Blunt

Funny enough, James Blunt wrote a song called "2005" that goes something like "All I do is apologize/ for a song ("You're Beautiful") I wrote in 2005."

Check it out:

9. "I'm the One"- Justin Bieber ft. Chance the Rapper

Lol, I'm kidding. Don't dance to this.

10. "Marry Me"- Train

This song is just simply beautiful. Shot dibs for my wedding @katherine!

11. "Love Story"- Taylor Swift

Maybe a little too mainstream for Millennials now but hey, it's still a great song!

12. "Better Together"- Jack Johnson

If you didn't already use this for your Sweet 16 montage, try it out for your wedding.

13. "Adore You"- Miley Cyrus

One of the only good things that came out of Miley's psycho period.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

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.

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.
