Lorde's 'Green Light' Is Everything And More
directlyrics.com

Lorde. The diamond that hails from New Zealand to bring us all amazing music. Known for her song "Royals" that came out in 2013 and other edgy dark songs, dropped a new song late last week. This new song "Green Light" may appear to some as a Great Gatsby reference, but it is so much more than that.

This new song was produced by both Lorde and Jack Antonoff (former Fun. member and leader of The Bleachers). It is something that many people wouldn't see Lorde singing. It starts off as an EDM mix that she might have previously recorded, but it shouts so much more than that.

There are so many elements that you get to hear. It starts with a simple piano ballad, then progresses to a house rev-up, and is meshed together with a shoutalong chorus that will be stuck in everyone's heads. The dark drum beats and peppy piano mesh so well together. It is mind blowing.

The song takes place post relationship breakup. It takes you on a journey to singledom and all the things in between. There are lines that take a punch and your ex's new guy/girl, and all the things they are lying about to their new person. The "Green Light" is meant to represent the ability to move on from what was and keep your head up. It is upbeat, catchy, and the music video is also incredibly flawless. Jack Antonoff also makes an appearance in the video (he is the guy in the bathroom playing the piano).

I give it a full 10 out of 10 and recommend that everyone take a listen to it. Check out the music video below!

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
