10 Songs That Will Pick You Up When You're Down

Sometimes we all just need a little something to get through rough time. It is completely normal because believe me everyone has those days where all you want to do is stay in bed all day and listen to music. Thankfully we have some great music to get us through whatever our struggles may be.

1.) "You're so Vain," by Carly Simon

This song is all about girl power, and doing your own thing. If you are ever in a harsh break up or just guy drama, I recommend listening to this.

2.) "Keep your head up," by Ben Howard

This song can get you through anything and everything imaginable. It is a simple reminder that no matter what it gets better and that all you have to do is "Keep your head up, and keep your heart strong".

3.) "i Lived," by OneRepublic

This is clearly a power song because it just makes you feel good inside. It inspires you to do as much as you can, never give up, and live your life to the fullest.

4. ) "Rise up," by Andra Day

The vocals of this song are enough to hit you hard and push you to in deed rise up and conquer your difficulties and be strong.

5.) "Respect," by Aretha Franklin

All I ever want to do when I hear this is sing along as loud as I humanly can and dance around like a crazy person, so its a good one for sure.

6.) "Come on Eileen," by Dexys Midnight Runners

Makes you want to dance!!

7.) "September," by Earth Wind and Fire

Every time I hear this it brings me back to happy memories with friends, and obviously makes me want to dance my heart out!

8.) "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," by Marvin Gaye

This song is a classic! And it always makes me think of the scene from Stepmom when they are dancing and singing together.

9.) "Hooked 9. On A Feeling," by Blue Swede

Reminds me of the scene from Guardians of The Galaxy

10.) "Where 10. You Lead," by Carole King

The Gilmore Girls theme song!

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.

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.
