16 Ways Ed Sheeran Personally Saved 2017

1.Eraser.

A sure sign of perfection with a reminiscent tone of Ed's Take it Back mixed with his throaty vocals and great guitar chords.

2. Castle on the Hill.

Never been to London? That's okay. After listening to this you'll pretty much know everything about the UK. If you have been though.... get out the tissues and cue the homesickness.

3. Dive.

Someone give him another Grammy already.

4. Shape of You.

Ed, apparently, debated about putting this on the album or not. We're so glad he did; reflective of a Sia song combined with Ed's suave lyrics makes this a top pick to dance too at any club. Or in your room. Or in your car. Anywhere, actually.

5. Perfect.

Pure heart. Put it on your list of possible first-dance songs.

6. Galway Girl.

YESS! ALL THE IRISH FEELS.

7. Happier.

Okay. That's cool. Not like I needed my heart anyway.

8. New Man.

Most humorous song I've heard in a while. I mean the lyrics "bleached asshole" make an appearance within the first thirty seconds.

9. Heart's Don't Break Around Here.

Another classic.

10. What do I Know?

The type of song you want to put on when you wake up feeling refreshed on a Saturday morning. The type of song you belt too while cleaning your room. The type of song that reminds us, with all the hate going on currently, that love, understanding and positivity are far more important than anything else.

11. How Would You Feel (Paean).

Can someone serenade me with this? Yes? No? Maybe? I'll be waiting.

12. Supermarket Flowers.

Once again, not like I needed my heart. A raw, emotional song about loss and the pain yet beauty behind it. Guaranteed to make you cry.

13. Barcelona.

I just want to dance! [In the streets! Of Barcelona!]

14. Bibia Be Ye Ye.

I still have no idea what this means, but man, I'll continue to belt it at the top of my lungs.

15. Nancy Mulligan.

YES! MORE IRISHNESS! Also, how could you not love this song? It's about his grandparent's and their love story! It's so pure.

16. Save Myself.

Probably the most important song on the track. With Ed's honesty and brilliant lyrics, we're reminded that we need to take care of ourselves first and foremost. Then we can help others.

Thanks for taking care of yourself, Ed! By doing so, you single-highhandedly saved 2017.

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.
