15 Songs To Help You Sleep

After a long day or when I'm having a hard time falling asleep, this one hour playlist of songs never fail to soothe me to sleep.

1. Cherry Wine (Live) by Hozier

The soft melody of his voice and acoustic guitar never fail to make my eyes feel heavy.

2. I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab for Cutie

Although, the lyrics are quite melancholy, this is one of my favorite songs to listen to before bed.

3. After The Storm by Mumford & Sons

Honestly, any song from this album has me out cold in seconds.

4. Who Knows Who Cares by Local Natives

Even though this song isn't an acoustic one and does contain some drumming, it still makes me drift. The violin in the background and perfect harmonies makes this song.

5. Land Locked Blues by Bright Eyes

This haunting duet is strangely calming.

6. Stop This Train by John Mayer

I mean, come on, it's John Mayer... there had to be at least one on this playlist.

7. I Was Made For Loving You by Tori Kelly ft. Ed Sheeran

One of my favorite duos in music ever, their voices paired together makes my heart happy.

8. Fly (acoustic) by Meadowlark

An overall beautifully composed song.

9. Make You Feel My Love by Adele

One of the best piano ballads ever sung.

10. Walk In The Sun by McFly

Just close your eyes and listen to this one...

11. Doing It Wrong by Drake

On most nights, this song mainly makes me want to cry, but damn, Drake makes you feel the feels with this one right into a deep sleep.

12. Til Kingdom Come by Coldplay

Follow the acoustic guitar rifts right into dream land.

13. Turning Page by Sleeping At Last

The band's name is Sleeping At Last... so I thought it fit. But really, this song is simple and comforting.

14. Close Your Eyes by Silver Trees

Just listen to him and close your eyes.

15. Celestial by Tori Kelly

Tori Kelly just has one of those angelic voices that soothe the soul, with the light thunderstorm sounds in the beginning-- I'm out like a light.

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.

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.
