Because the message wasn't the only thing I was paying attention to.

13 Standout Songs From '13 Reasons Why'
Pop Sugar

13 Reason Why is the show everyone seems to be talking about this past couple of weeks. While most articles you have been seeing on your news feed have been about why the story is important or why someone thinks that it was romanticizing suicide, I'm keeping opinions completely out of this article. I'm just here today to talk a little about the fantastic music featured in this show. Because it's fantastic. So without further ado, here are 13 of the most stand out songs from the show.

1. Only You- Selena Gomez

With Selena being executive producer of the show, it only makes sense that she would write a song for the show. Beautiful, touching, haunting, but what more could we expect from Selena, to be honest.

2. Bored- Billie Eilish

I had never heard of Billie previously to watching the show, but I very much enjoyed this song and her style. Reminds me a bit of Ellie Golding.

3. Love Will Tear Us Apart- Joy Division

Enjoy the addition of an oldie to the soundtrack. Definitely a song that would be one of Tony's tapes.

4. Into The Black- Chromatics

This song is a couple years old, but I had never heard of it before the show. Chilling, but very powerful and a great song.

5. Kill Em With Kindness- Acoustic- Selena Gomez

Another Selena song, but this one was not created for the show. The Acoustic version of this song however is beautiful and I almost actually prefer this version over the original.

6. The Night We Met- Lord Huron

Definitely my favorite of the songs I discovered from the show. Amazing, beautiful, 10/10.

7. A 1000 times

Really like the vibe of this song, more of an indie rock song.

8. High- Sir Sly

While most of the songs from the show are kind of more slow and depressing, this song is a little more upbeat. For that reason, I really enjoy and appreciate this song.

9. Cool Blue- The Japanese House

The beat to this song is really cool, and its different from a lot of the other songs on the soundtrack, I really enjoy this one.

10. The Killing Moon- Roman Remains

Kind of gives off a creepy vibe if I'm being honest... Also getting a lot of Lorde vibes from this song.

11. Fascination Street- The Cure

slightly odd that the intro of this song is over 2 minutes long... Definitely fits the theme of the show though.

12. The Walls Came Down- The Call

Another song from the 80s but definitely fits the aesthetic of the show with the tapes.

13. The Stand- The Alarm

This show was really loving the 80s.

Happy listening!

AI music threatens creativity

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

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.
