In This Article:

Getting into Broadway music can be overwhelming because of all the amazing shows. However, from friends, my significant other, and shows I have seen, I have heard some amazing songs. With that, I can say I love Broadway music. Some nights I love to curl up and write while listening to my favorite Broadway tunes. The songs in this list and the ones that didn't make it on the list are beautiful. The emotions and feelings you get from listening to these songs are incredible. Some disclaimers are these songs are in no specific order as they're all amazing. Also, I have not included "Hamilton" and other classics but as I expand my horizons and see more shows, they could appear on a future list.

1. "Seize The Day" — Newsies

This song makes me want to dance and fight for what's right. I love this song and all the different dimensions it has.

2. "No Good Deed/Gutes Tun" — Wicked

I love the German version of this song due to an incredible performer called Willemijn Verkaik. Listen to the original and you'll never view this song the same way again. The song is so deep and beautiful, it puts me in tears.

3. "Super Trooper" — Mamma Mia

Who doesn't love this song? I love the upbeat energy and the original Broadway cast did an excellent rendition of this classic Abba song.

4. "Crazier Than You" — The Addams Family

I've never seen "The Addams Family" and I truthfully don't know how I came across this song. However, I love it and it makes me wish "The Addams Family" would come back to Broadway.

5. "I Believe" — The Book Of Mormon

When my boyfriend played this song for me, of course I loved it — otherwise it wouldn't be on this list — and I really wanted to see "The Book Of Mormon."

6. "The Circle Of Life" — Lion King

I remember seeing this show as a little girl and it sticking with me for a long time. Here is one of the many versions of this classic song.

7. "Do You Hear The People Sing" — Les Miserables

This song shows how deep yet hopeful people were in revolutionary France.

8. "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" — Mary Poppins

When I saw this show on Broadway, I was amazed. I remember how this song was one of many that I loved.

9. "Defying Gravity" — Wicked

This is a classic and iconic song in the show "Wicked." When she actually defies gravity, it is breath taking.

10. "You Can't Stop The Beat" — Hairspray

Last but not least, this awesome song from the hit musical "Hairspray." This inspires me to be confident and be myself.

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.
