7 Chill Classics To Relax To

Untacksa

Nothing reminds me of back home more than listening to my dad's music - which constantly plays in our house. While reminiscing and going through some songs I used to hear all the time, I realized how relaxed they were - therefore crafting this playlist. Enjoy!

1. On The Turning Away - Pink Floyd

This song is a life-changer. Kick back, listen to these lyrics, and prepare to be impressed. On The Turning Away promotes peace and helping one another. Even if you don't feel like analyzing the amazing lines in the song, you're sure to enjoy a powerful guitar solo towards the end. This song just simply feels right.

2. Love Will Keep Us Alive - Eagles

On a more emotional note, Love Will Keep Us Alive will hit you right in the heart. The vocals are smooth and soothing - perfect for relaxing. Be careful though, you might need a box of tissues because this song is so sweet and cheesy.

3. Wild Horses - The Rolling Stones

You can't have a classics playlist without a Rolling Stones song. This slower tune of theirs is a nice change of pace from their rock style. I'm pretty sure I've heard this one at least a thousand times while floating around in the pool during my younger years.

4. Oh! Darling - The Beatles

The Beatles make everything feel right. What more needs to be said? Oh! Darling has that older sound to it which I find so comforting. I could listen to this one for days.

5. Landslide - Fleetwood Mac

I think just about everybody knows this song, but I couldn't resist putting it on the playlist anyway. (AND NO, IT'S NOT ORIGINALLY BY THE FREAKING DIXIE CHICKS!) Fleetwood Mac is a band that just takes you away, reflected perfectly by the free spirit that is Stevie Nicks. Kick back and close your eyes to get lost in her unique vocals. (May cause drowsiness.)

6. Tiny Dancer - Elton John

This one was hard because honestly, Elton John has no bad songs and he was essential to this playlist. My favorite of his has to be Tiny Dancer though, just because I love the way the piano sounds.

7. I'm On Fire - Bruce Springsteen

I had to save the best for last. This is one of The Boss's most loved songs and everyone should be reminded of it. It has an extremely different feel than most of Springsteen's other music, which is what makes it so special. I like to play this one on night drives home.

I hope these songs will find their way onto your playlists as well.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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

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.
