10 Songs For Your Ultimate Summer Playlist
theodysseyonline

I find that the perfect playlist does not exist and that it often changes with the times and the mood of the listener. But there comes a time when the current playlist is just perfect and it is an everyday necessity.

Every summer brings on new music and new musical discovery. As a music junkie, I tend to discover new promising music throughout the year, but I find that the summer brings the opportunity to find even more.

As the summer comes to a close, I found that there have been a few songs that have managed to stay on my Spotify playlist for the past few months and they deserve to be applauded.

Before the list starts there are a few honorable mention artists that deserve their praise, including James Bay, Coldplay and Foy Vance. All who remain on the same playlist, but way too many of their songs are on there to just include one on the list.

1. "Hell of a Girl" by Grace

Most people know this girl from her song with G-Eazy and her remake of "You Don't Own Me." Her debut album dropped a few weeks ago and I found this tune completely addicting.

2. "How Not To" by Dan + Shay

Although country music can sometimes get a bad rep, I find it is perfect for the summer.

3. "Happiness" by NEEDTOBREATHE

I found this song a while back and added to my playlist and, to be honest, it has not left and it has been one of my absolute favorites. It's upbeat and inspirational with a unique rock sound!

4. "Something Real" by Blackbear

5. "Turn It Up" by The Wrecks

 

All I have to say, is check theese guys out!

6. "Horns" by Bryce Fox

7. "Ophelia" by The Lumineers

Even though I consider the Lumineers' album "Cleopatra" completely amazing, one song has remained on one playlist for the past few months. "Ophelia" is heartfelt and somewhat catchy, and as one of the band's first singles off of "Cleopatra," it really set the bar high for the rest of the album.

8. "Superstitious" by MKTO

9. "Change of Heart" by The 1975

10. "Doubt" by Twenty One Pilots


Now that summer is almost over, a new playlist will soon be created and new music will be released.

I find that music is perfect to express whatever. It is basically a soundtrack to your life, so make sure when you make a playlist or when you find a song, it can reflect your life, because maybe one day someone will look back and see it as a story.

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.
