20 Beautiful Acoustic Songs

stlttoday

As many of you know, I love acoustic versions of songs. I love it when an artist strips down a very upbeat song and makes it sound completely different from how it sounded on an album or on the radio. I also think it shows true talent and artistry when a singer or band performs acoustically. There is no room for error when a song is completely stripped down; every listener can hear any flaws the performance may have, and that's why I love a great acoustic song. I also love to put acoustic versions on study playlists because they are so relaxing to me. There are many artists that perform acoustically on occasion and there are a lot of songs that are performed acoustically, these twenty are just some of my favorites.

1. "Let It Go," By James Bay

2. "Scars," by James Bay

3. "If You Want To Be In Love," by James Bay

Ok, I know what you may be thinking. This is just going to be an article on James Bay, but I promise you it is not. I just love his music, and his voice acoustically is to die for.

4. "Have Faith In Me," by A Day To Remember

5. "Home," by Phillip Phillips

6. "Tattoo," by Hillary Duff

7. "Gone, Gone, Gone," by Phillip Phillips

8. "Take Your Time," By Sam Hunt

9. "Make You Miss Me," by Sam Hunt

10. "Up," by Olly Murs Ft. Demi Lovato

11. "Thinking Out Loud," by Ed Sheeran

12. "Give Me Love," by Ed Sheeran

13. "Check Yes Juliet," by We The Kings

14. "Should've Been Us," by Tori Kelly

17. "Masterpiece," by Jessie J

18. "The First Time," by Kelsea Ballerini

19. "Love Triangle," by RaeLynn

Now I know there are a lot of repeat artist on here, but I just couldn't help myself. Just remember, these are just some of my favorites, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Let me, and others, know yours in the comments!

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.

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.
