If you have seen this year's nominated movies, this playlist will make sense and you'll probably cry. If you haven't, you might be confused but still, cry.

This playlist is dedicated to the 2018 Academy Awards, these are songs from moving scenes and scores. Not all Academy movies will be featured (i.e Darkest Hour.) Also featured are the nominees for Best Original Song.

This song is featured in such a turning point in Lady Bird.

2. Cry Me a River - Justin Timberlake


The perfect 2000s house party bop in Lady Bird.

3. Futile Devices (Doveman Remix) - Sufjan Stevens


Call Me By Your Name is the perfect album for a rainy day.

4. Visions of Gideon - Sufjan Stevens


The saddest song on this playlist. This is featured in the most emotional scene known to mankind.

5. Overflow of Love - Alexandre Desplat


This movie takes place in Baltimore, but has such a Paris inspired score.

6. Underwater Kiss - Alexandre Desplat


Similar to Overflow of Love, this movie is an odd but beautiful tale of falling in love.

7. Reconcile - Jon Brion


The realization of missing home is the only way I can describe this song. One of my personal favorites.

8. Phantom Thread I - Jonny Greenwood


This song is as dramatic as this movie.

9. Remember Me (Lullaby) - Gael Garcia Bernal


This movie reminds me of all the tears I cried when seeing this for the first time.

10. Variation 15 (Dunkirk) - Benjamin Wallfisch


This score is as moving as the scene. Realizing they would live to see another day.

11. The Tailor of Fitzrovia - Jonny Greenwood


One of my favorite movies from this year, this song showcases the emotion and beauty of the designer Reynolds Woodcock.

12. Redbone - Childish Gambino


GET OUT! Such a chill song for a not so chill movie. ROOTING FOR JORDAN PEELE SUNDAY NIGHT!

13. His Master's Voice - Monster of Folk


Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, a mellow song for an intense film.

14. Mother and Daughter - John Williams


John Williams is an icon.

15. Stand Up for Something (feat. Common) - Andra Day ft. Common

A soaring ballad with 60s soul!

16. Mystery of Love- Sufjan Stevens


Like I said before....such an amazing soundtrack.

17. Mighty River - Mary J. Blige


GO OFF MARY!

18. This is Me - Keala Settle ft. The Greatest Showman Ensemble


Nominated for Best Original Song, the overall soundtrack is good!

I hope this playlist inspires all you movie lovers!

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.
