19 Lyrics That Prove Bastille's New Album Is The Best
Rolling Stone

It is extremely rare to find an album in which you like all the songs. That is, of course, unless the album you're listening to is by Bastille. The band became a hit a couple years ago with "Pompeii", but every song on their album "Bad Blood" is amazing. Consequently, I was very excited when I found out that last weekend Bastille released their second album, "Wild World." I wasn't sure what to expect, but I wasn't disappointed--Bastille's new album speaks to my soul. In other words, it's super awesome. Here are 19 lyrics that will convince you that you should be listening to this album on repeat:

19. " I will never understand the power you were holding over me/ power, power/ Oh you've had it too long, yes you've had it too long."

- Power

18.


17. "An Act of Kindness/is what you showed to me/ it caught me by surprise in this town of glass and ice/ Kindness, so many people passed me by/ But you warmed me to my core and left me wanting more"

-An Act of Kindness


16. "I let myself bathe in the past for way, way, way too long/ And now it seems I've drunk too much to give you what you want"

-Winter of Our Youth


15. "You make me laugh until I die/ Can you think of any better way to choke?"

-Glory


14.


13. "Maybe I'm living in the past/ Who am I to judge/ I'm the worst of all/ Some things are better left unsaid/ But I miss the person I knew before"

-Shame


12. "You told me not to be like anybody else/ headspin, happiness, death/ Be like anybody else/ Broke down, nothing else left"

-Lethargy


11.


10. "Hold me in this wild, wild world/ Cause in your warmth I forget how cold it can be/ And in your heat I feel how cold it can get/ hold me in this wild, wild world"

-Warmth


9. "Bring me some hope/ By wandering into my mind/ Something to hold onto/ Morning, noon, day or night"

-The Anchor


8. "Yes,it's easier to bury my head in the sand sometimes/ And I know, I know, I know/ It's not the right way to go/ But I pray for the ground to swallow me whole"

-Snakes


7. "Fall and beg and plead saying you've got the power and control/ Don't pin it all on me"

-Blame


6.


5. "Ooh I'm not ready/ Drink to escape our minds/ Show me for distraction/ Even for just one night"

-Blame


4. "You warmed me to the core and left me wanting more"

-An Act of Kindness


3.


2. " What's going to be left of the world if you're not in it?"

-Good Grief

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.
