Have you found yourself listening to the same Turnpike Troubadours song over and over again? Does your red dirt playlist need a reboot? Here are some great tunes to add to your playlist today.

1. "Ain't Over You Yet" by Flatland Cavalry

This is a solid song by a great band out of Texas with great lyrics that could only come from Flatland Cavalry. If you're a red dirt fan and you haven't heard of them, you're missing out.

"Cause I quit smoking cigarettes
And gave up drinking to forget
And they say old habits die-hard
They seem to be the hardest part
I quit lying and taking bets
But some addictions you cant quit
When it comes to you, I always lose
I guess I need my fix
Living my whole life with no regrets
But I guess I just ain’t over you yet."

2. "Meet You in the Middle" by Parker McCollum

Not only is Parker McCollum a major heart-throb, he is an amazing musician with some of the catchiest songs in the genre. While "Meet You in the Middle" is my current favorite, all of his songs are worth mentioning.

"Guess I'll meet you in the middle
well aint nobody told me it'd be this hard
Guess I'll meet you in the middle
Lord only knows if I'll make it that far"

3. "Still Think About You" by William Clark Green

Red dirt is known for exceptional songwriters and William Clark Green is one of the best. Anyone who's been on either end of break-up will relate to this heartbreaking song.

"You would say you love me
Couldn’t look you in the eye
Never meant to hurt you
Never meant to make you cry
Just couldn’t hold on
Believe me, I tried"

4. "Wild Rose" by Kaitlin Butts

The females of the genre are often neglected, but they have some of the better songs. Kaitlin's sweet voice makes this song a feel-good one, in sharp contrast from the songs aforementioned.

"Well, baby, you can bloom no matter where you are,
you don't have to live in the sky to be a star,
you don't have to be a sun to shine.
Baby, just be mine."

5. "All I See Is You" by Shane Smith & the Saints

Shane Smith & the Saints is a tremendously underrated band. Most of their songs are pretty upbeat and this catchy tune is no exception.

"Then when I'm old and weathered
From the winds of a life that consumed
I pray to God the day I'll find my death bed
All I'll see is you
'Cause all I wanna see is you'"

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.
