The beautiful thing about music is that everyone can relate to it. We all have that one song that sums up our lives perfectly. It can explain a situation perfectly, make you feel emotions nothing else can make you feel, it can take you to another world; music is perfection.

Just like with everything else, though, the sadness and loneliness can be perfectly described as well. Any song can relate to one moment, and if you’re familiar with heartbreak and being told you’re not good enough or that there’s someone else, you know that there are plenty of songs out there for you. Here are some songs that anyone who has ever felt like the second choice can relate to:

Jolene - Dolly Parton

I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston

Without You - Hinder

In My Veins - Andrew Belle

Unanswered Prayers - Garth Brooks

As She’s Walking Away - Zac Brown Band

Let Her Go – Passenger

If I Ever Fall In Love - Pentatonix ft. Jason Derulo

Love Again - Pentatonix

You and I - Lady Gaga

Who Am I To Stand In Your Way - Chester See*

Keep Waiting - Chester See*

You’re Not The One - Chester See*

*Really any song by Chester See will suffice if you want to have the feels when you’re a little blue.

Being the second choice is never fun, but no matter what, always remember there’s someone out there for you. If you ever need something to listen too, even just to be sad for a moment, come here and give these songs a listen. It might take some time to find the one whose perfect for you, and you might need to listen to a lot of sappy songs to make it through, but don’t let the heartbreak take away from the Beautiful Life** you can be living.

**Beautiful Life is by the American Idol Season 14 Winner Nick Fradiani. Give it a listen.

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.

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.
