These 10 songs hold a place in my heart. They bring back feelings of nostalgia from my childhood and make me want to share them with the newer generations.

10. What Is Love - Haddaway

"What is love?" This song!

9. Mambo Number 5 - Lou Bega

"1,2,3,4,5 everybody in the club come on lets ride"... to an ideal future where this catchy song becomes popular again! Who doesn't need a little bit a Lou Bega?

8. Save Tonight - Eagle Eye Cherry

Save this song, fight the break of dawn. "Come tomorrow" and we will revitalize this song! The simple but soulful tune has a way of resonating in the minds of listeners... literally it is now stuck in my head.

7. What's Up - 4 Non Blondes

"And I said hey... what's going on." With lyrics like this What's Up could be the anthem of the 21st Century.

6. You Get What You Give - New Radicals

"Don't let go.You got the music in you... you got a reason to live" The stylistically segmented syllables make for a hit especially when combined with the inspirational lyrics about not giving up.

5. Breakfast at Tiffany's - Deep Blue Something

"And I said what about Breakfast at Tiffany's?" A throwback within a throwback, this song references the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's.

4. Torn - Natalie Imbruglia

A mellow but soulful song with a great beat and powerful lyrics. What's not to love?

3. Sex and Candy - Marcy Playground

A melancholic tune that "surely is a dream"!

2. Barely Breathing - Duncan Sheik

"Cause I am barely breathing..." thinking about how much this song moves me. It is one of the few that I can listen to on repeat.

1. My Own Worst Enemy - Lit

"Please tell me why..." this song stopped being popular. I have added it to all my nostalgia playlists. It has just enough angst, rock and roll and regrets to make an amazing anthem for those in their twenties.

Honorable Mention: I'm too Sexy by Right Said Fred

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

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.
