Music has a way of bringing people together and speaking the feelings we don't know how to put into words.

The transitions from childhood to adulthood introduce us not only to self-discoveries, but also to hardships.

If you are going through changes or a transition in your life, music is a great place to turn to for solace. So here's a list of songs about growing up that will speak to you.

1. 'For The First Time' by Best Coast

"And I guess this is what they mean
When they say
People can change
'Cause I finally feel free
I feel like myself again."

2. 'It's Not The Same Anymore' by Rex Orange County

"I'll keep the pictures saved in a safe place
Wow, I look so weird here
My face has changed now
It's a big shame."

3. 'It Might Be Time' by Tame Impala

'It might be time to face it

You ain't as cool as you used to be, no

You won't recover

You ain't as young as you used to be."

4. 'Growing Pains' by Alessia Cara

"I cry more than I want to admit

But I can't lie to myself, to anyone

'Cause phoning it in isn't any fun

Can't run back to my youth the way I want to."

5. 'Youth' by Shawn Mendes and Khalid

"You can't take my youth away

This soul of mine will never break

As long as I wake up today

You can't take my youth away."

6. 'Castle On The Hill' by Ed Sheeran

"And I'm on my way, I still remember

These old country lanes

When we did not know the answers."

7. '7 Years' by Lukas Graham

"It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger

Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker."

8. 'Kids' by MGMT

"Memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions too
Decisions are made."

9. 'West Coast' by FIDLAR

"And all my friends, they just stay the same
I'm growing up but nothing's changing."

10. 'Dammit' by Blink-182

"But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own, well I guess this is growing up
Well I guess this is growing up."

11. 'Changes' by David Bowie

"Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time."

12. 'Opposite of Adults' by Chiddy Bang

"Remember you was a kid
Reminisce days of the innocence."

13. 'Landslide' by Fleetwood Mac

"Well, I've been 'fraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm gettin' older, too."

14. 'The Middle' by Jimmy Eat World

"You know you're doing better on your own so don't buy in
Live right now
Just be yourself
It doesn't matter if that's good enough for someone else."

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

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.

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.
