20 Songs That Will Never Get Old
Shaun Vis

Music is an epidemic that has taken over the world since the beginning of time. If one thing is for sure, it is that music is one of the most powerful things on Earth. It can change our outlook on life, make us happy, bring people together and most of all, give us something to relate to. I have no doubt that every person has at least one song — if not more — that they can relate to. Of course, there are some songs that will never be forgotten and will never get old. You can't help but sing along to these 20 songs no matter how hard you try!

1. "Piano Man" by Billy Joel

"Sing us a song, you're the Piano Man!"

2. "It Wasn't Me" by Shaggy

All you need to know is three words to sing along.

3. "Stacy's Mom" by Fountains of Wayne

"Stacy can't you see you're just not the girl for me?"

4. "Waterfalls" by TLC

"Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to."

5. "Bye Bye Bye" by NSYNC

Arguably the most popular song from our favorite boy band.

6. "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey

The only song a room full of people can sing every word to.

8. "Free Fallin'" by Tom Petty

Although this song is a classic, I have to say that John Mayer does it better.

9. "Maggie May" by Rod Stewart

Her name wasn't really Maggie by the way.

10. "All I Want For Christmas" by Mariah Carrey

You can't deny this is your favorite Christmas song to dance to.

11. "She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5

Who doesn't want to be the girl Adam Levine sings about?

12. "All Star" by Smash Mouth

"She was lookin' kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead."

13. "Semi-Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo ...

14. "Imagine" by John Legend

Arguably his greatest musical gift to the world.

15. "Ignition (Remix)" by R. Kelly

Does anyone actually listen to the original song?

16. "We Are The Champions" by Queen

Everyone's anthem after winning anything, at all.

17. "Escape" by Rupert Holmes

If you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain ... then you'll love this song.

18. "Wonderwall" by Oasis

One of the best songs to listen to when you're down.

19. "The A Team" by Ed Sheeran

The voice of an angel is the only way to describe Ed Sheeran.

20. "Drops of Jupiter" by Train

"Did Venus blow your mind? Was it everything you wanted to find?"

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.
