17 Songs To Really Listen Too
DevianArt

Something I've always loved about music are the lyrics themselves. I love a good song I can just jam to and sing at the top of my lungs for fun. But there comes a time for some, when you just need a good song to express how you feel, to really connect too.

Sometimes songs are pretty important to me because of the lyrics, what they're saying. It can send a message to someone, or it can be something you just really needed to hear in the moment. It can express your feelings. It can take you back to a time that was simpler, or even have a certain memory attached to it.

Below, I've complied a list of songs that I just love. Not because they may be catchy (although some of them are), but because of the lyrics. Maybe it was something I needed to hear at the time, or maybe it said something I've been trying to say but couldn't find the right words too. Just listen.


1. I Won't Let You Go (Radio Version) - Switchfoot


2. Old Church Choir - Zach Williams


3. Hills and Valleys - Tauren Wells


4. Healing Begins - Tenth Avenue North


5. Brave (feat. Andy Mineo) - Moriah Peters


6. Breathe - Jonny Diaz


7. Magnify - We Are Messengers


8. Give Me Faith - Elevation Worship


9. It Is Well (Radio Mix) Bethel Music & Kristene Dimarco *disclaimer: the original by Kristene, is always better*

*another disclaimer: You Make Me Brave is also a really good song*


10. By Your Side - Tenth Avenue North


11. Broken Hallelujah - The Afters


12. Worn - Tenth Avenue North


13. Overcomer - Mandisa


14. Giants Fall - Francesca Battistelli


15. Mended - Matthew West

*disclaimer: this album altogether is just really good*


16. Wish - Lecrae


17. Oh Lord - NF

*disclaimer: there are actually several songs I could list here. Both of his albums are gold.


This list could've honestly gone on forever. I listen, and I mean really listen, to a lot of music. I have a ton of favorites, and these are just the select few. I encourage you to do the same to your own music. If you get the chance, share it like I did.

Give these a listen too, if you want as well.

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.
