15 Songs You Need In Your Life
The Next Web

Ask any of my friends, one of my many (but really limited) talents is making playlists. I probably spend majority of my day playing around on Spotify, either looking for new music or trying to find old songs to reminisce on. I like to make playlist for any occasion: spending the day at the beach, classics that everyone can sing a long to or the newest top songs to pregame to. Whatever it is-- call me, I got you. The list below is just a small condensed list of songs that you should probably add to your next playlist. There's a little mix of some classics, throwbacks, and different kind of genres-- maybe you'll find your new favorite song or re-fall in love with an old one.

1. "Wonderwall" by Oasis

Classic 90s song. Great for a sing a long with all your friends.

2. "Ocean Drive" by Duke Dumont


Maybe I'm in love this song because it reminds me of my semester abroad, but I highly suggest giving it a listen.

3. "Alcoholic" by Common Kings

The Common Kings kind of remind me of Bob Marley in a way, the same kind of chill, beach-y feeling. Great for a summer playlist.

4. "Be Easy" by Radical Something

Lay back. Relax and Be Easy.

5. "Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac

You can never go wrong with a little Fleetwood Mac.

6. "Piano Man" by Billy Joel

If you don't know this song, you're doing it wrong.

7. "Just A Feeling" by Maroon 5

Definitely a lesser known Maroon 5 song, so if you like them a lot, you should listen to it.

8. "All Too Well" by Taylor Swift

I've been a fan of Taylor since day one. This one will always be her best song in my eyes. And it's supposedly about Jake Gyllenhaal and who doesn't love Jake Gyllenhaal?

9. "Confession" by Florida Georgia Line

To be honest, I don't know why I have this song on this list, it just gives me all the feels.

10. "American Honey" by Lady Antebellum

If you're not the biggest fan of country, this song could possibly convert you.

11. "Santeria" by Sublime


Another 90s classic.

12. "Bennie and the Jets" by Elton John


My life goal is to drink a little too much and reenact the bar scene from "27 Dresses," so clearly this song needed to be on the list.

13. "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith

Just a great jam.

14. "Valerie" by Amy Winehouse

R.I.P Amy.

15. "Thnk fr th Mmrs" by Fall Out Boy

Any angsty teenager loved Fall Out Boy, great throwback to jam out to in the car.

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.
