15 Throwback Songs To Add To Your Summer Playlist

Summer is starting and so are the pool parties, lake days, road trips and internship commutes. There are few things better than rolling down the car window and jamming to songs that you haven't heard in a while or could never get enough of. These are my top 15 must haves on any summer playlist.

1. Wannabe: The Spice Girls

This is so incredibly self explanatory. Honestly, if this wasn't already one of your summer jams, I would be super disappointed.

2. Summer of '69: Bryan Adams

With the word "summer" in it you can be sure it'll be one you'll sing along to.

3. American Pie: Don McLean

Who doesn't love this song?

4. All Summer Long: Kid Rock

Sometimes a little Kid Rock is good for the soul. Especially with this jam.

5. Santeria: Sublime

So many kinds of good.

6. I Want It That Way: Backstreet Boys

Duh.

7. Mary Jane's Last Dance: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

"I feel summer creeping in." Weird video, great song.

8. Friends in Low Places: Garth Brooks

A country classic...

9. Island in the Sun: Weezer

So many covers, but none better than the original.

10. Hand in My Pocket: Alanis Morissette

I will never not love this song.

11. Girl: Beck

Though this song has been the cause of a lot of questioning, but nothing can deter my love for Beck.

12. Have You Ever Seen The Rain?: CCR

This is the kind of song where you scream the chorus as loudly and as obnoxiously as you can.

13. Banana Pancakes: Jack Johnson

While all of his songs are so good and mellow and perfect for a day at the beach, lake or pool, this one will forever be a jam.

14. Electric Feel: MGMT

There's just something about this song.

15. Sweet Home Alabama: Lynyrd Skynyrd

Last but certainly not least, this jam. Again, if it wasn't already on your playlist, you're doing something wrong.

H.A.G.S. y'all

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

334004

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.
