We all have those playlists for everything we do. Whether it is working out, studying, road trips, etc. we have them. Not only do I write for Odyssey, but I write stories in my free time. I need help getting my creative juices following, and music does just that. So here are some of my favorite songs to listen to, to help get my creative juices flowing.

1. Never Stop (Wedding Version) by SafetySuit

Most of my stories are love songs and this song I can picture as my wedding song. It is not an overuse love song and is the definition of the type of guy I want to marry.

2. Perfect by One Direction

I am not a big fan of the band, but this song brings back great memories of those late night closing shifts at the restaurant where I worked in high school and my first year of college. It gives me those happy vibes I need when I’m writing.

3. Stand by Me by Ben E. King

Just one of those classic songs that have lasted many years. It gives the lows of a relationship, but someone can remain strong as long as they stand by each other.

4. I Won’t Let Go by Rascal Flats

The only male country band that I listen to regularly. This song is another song that I can see dancing at my wedding. It tells how a man can be strong for his wife and help her up.

5. Any song by Adele

Adele has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. I just get lost in my little world when I’m listening to her music, which is great when I am writing. It helps me from getting distracted from the busy outside world.

6. Still Falling for You by Ellie Golding

Recently added to my playlist, this song is just a pump up a song that is also a great love song. Featured in my favorite movie, Bridget Jones Baby, too.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

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.
