I love listening to covers. It’s always interesting hearing another musician’s take on a classic or a popular song. Often times, covers offer a twist on the original meaning of a song or allow you to interpret lyrics in a totally different light. Here are eight of my all-time favorite song covers that are sure to leave you with goose bumps:

1. I’m Gonna Be 500 Miles (The Proclaimers cover) by Sleeping At Last

This cover completely turns a quirky, upbeat tune into a haunting love song. It’s a totally different vibe from the original.

2. I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing (Aerosmith cover) by Jake Coco and Savannah Outen

This duet shifts a rock classic to a soft, beautiful ballad with piano.

3. Like I’m Gonna Lose You (Meghan Trainer & John Legend cover) by Jasmine Thompson

Goose. Bumps. Jasmine Thompson’s voice never ceases to give me chills.

4. Somewhere Only We Know (Keane cover) by Lily Allen

Lily Allen turns this song into a sweet, cheerful take on Keane’s hit.

5. The Scientist (Coldplay cover) by Corinne Bailey Rae

Even though the original version is already full of angst, Corinne Bailey Rae’s rendition of it adds a whole different layer of sadness to this classic Coldplay song.

6. Man in the Mirror (Michael Jackson cover) by James Morrison

A beautiful acoustic tribute to the King of Pop.

7. Across the Universe (Beatles cover) by Fiona Apple

Fiona Apple gives this Beatles classic an indie, coffee-shop-esque twist.

8. Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay (Otis Redding cover) by Sara Bareilles

This cover of a 60s R&B hit never gets old—the soul in Bareilles’ voice is incredible.

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.

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.
