"Dear Future Husband" Rewritten!

We decided to rewrite the words to Meghan Trainor's "Dear Future Husband" in order to fit OUR ideas of a healthy relationship.

I have a love/hate relationship with Meghan Trainor's "Dear Future Husband." It's extremely catchy and fun to sing, yet it does not send the best message, and doesn't really reflect what I know I want in a relationship or marriage further down the road.

My friend, Jennifer Lewis, and I spent some time looking over Meghan Trainor's lyrics and we made our own version of the song. Please enjoy! (Also, we made a recording of our version of the song so you can listen as you read along, or just watch the video, because we had a ton of fun making it!!) (Also, SO SO SO much credit to Jen for EVERYTHING! She is such a wonderful human being who is very talented in guitar and video editing, MUCH more so than I am!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Future Husband: As Revised and Performed by Kara Barkman and Jennifer Lewis

Dear future husband

Here's a few things

You'll need to know if you wanna be

My one and only all my life.

Take me on a date

We both deserve a break

But know we each can live our individuality

‘Cause if we have respect

I know we’ll never get

Treated awfully

Truh-treated awfully

You got a job to do

But, baby, I do too

So don't be thinking I'll be home and making noodle soup

I may have learned to cook

But you can take a look

And bake along with me

Or make some food with me (Hey)

You gotta know how to treat me well, honey

Even when I'm acting funny

Know we all have those times

Dear future husband

Here's a few things you'll need to know if you want to be

My one and only all my life

Dear future husband

If you wanna laugh and go adventurin’

We’ve gotta learn to trust each other all the time

After every fight

Just apologize

And maybe we can go try to find a compromise

Even when I’m wrong

We’ll just sing this song

That’s all I need

That’s, that’s all I need

You gotta know how to treat me well, honey

Even when I'm acting funny

Know we all have those times

Dear future husband

Here's a few things

You'll need to know if you want to be

My one and only all my life (Hey, baby)

Dear future husband

Make time for me

Don't leave me lonely

But I’ll understand you when you hang with all the guys

I understand you have your own identity

And please just recognize the same goes for me

Let’s live harmoniously

And then I’m sure we’ll be

Living happily

Live-living happily

You gotta know how to treat me well, honey

Even when I'm acting funny

Know we all have those times

Dear future husband

Here's a few things

You'll need to know if you want to be

My one and only all my life

Dear future husband

If you wanna laugh and go adventurin’

We’ve gotta learn to trust each other all the time

Future husband, our love will be alright

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

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.
