8 Songs For Any Mood
enoughalready

Listening to music is something so simple yet so affective of our moods. It's crazy how listening to one good song on a bad day can turn our moods around almost instantly. With that being said, here are some songs that are perfect for any mood; whether it be a mellow song, an upbeat song, or a song with a lot of meaning behind it, these old songs will always be my go-tos.

1. Daydream Believer- The Monkees

Whenever I'm in a bad mood (AKA whenever I have to leave my bed), this song gets me ready to take on the day. How couldn't your mood be boosted after hearing this song?

2. Crazy- Gnarles Barkley

Maybe it's CeeLo Green's voice or maybe it's the catchy backyard music, but this song will instantly make you dance in your seat.

3. Money- Pink Floyd

There's no explanation needed for this. Pink Floyd causes euphoria.

4. Happy Together- The Turtles

This romantic song is an instant uplifter. Even if you're not in a relationship, something about this song can instantly bring a smile to your face.

5. Mr. Tambourine Man- The Byrds

Beautiful... just beautiful.

6. My Sweet Lord- George Harrison

The Beatles member is arguably deemed the most talented out of them all. Again, this is a good song to listen to in the morning.

7. Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad? -Moby

The piano in this song is truly amazing. Maybe I'm just biased because I listened to this song growing up but this song is meant to be played on repeat 100 times through.

8. Dosed- The Red Hot Chili Peppers

Of course I had to add RHCP into the mix. Although this song is emotional and pulls on the heart strings, there's nothing not to love about it.

These songs are all classics; and with good reason. There was a lot of talent back in the day that should still gain some recognition among this generation. Give these songs a listen, and your perspective on music will change.

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.
