1. "Hey Brother" by Avicii

This song made the list because I have personally devoted it to my two precious brothers. If you have ever listened to this song, you could see why. It is a very touching song, and I love it.

2. "Beer For My Horses" by Toby Keith

HAHA, this song is one of those that takes me back to my childhood...and honestly, I couldn't tell you why. I vaguely remember this one time I and my cousin Baylee sang this and the next song in my living room when we were little. Honestly, don't ask. I really don't even know.

3. "Redneck Woman" by Gretchen Wilson

This one was MY ANTHEM as a little girl. I know for a 100% fact that every time this song would play it was a full-on concert by me featuring me. Also, I'm pretty sure Baylee and I performed this in my living room too.

4. "Soak Up the Sun" by Sheryl Crow

I will never not love this song. This was and still is mine and my aunt's song. She played this song for little baby me a long, long time ago and it has been ours ever since. I love you Manda!

5. "Father and Daughter" by Paul Simon

I used to watch 'The Wild Thornberry's' religiously, and on one of the movies, this song plays. My dad used to lay down with me every night and we would either watch that or Fear Factor. This song has always had a very special place in my heart.

6. "The House That Built Me" by Miranda Lambert

I have a "house that built me". It was first my dad's parents house, then my parent's house. That house was in our family for years and years. All of my cousins that I was closest to live just a short walk or bike ride away. That house surely built me, and I will forever cherish the memories made there.

7. "Airstream Song" by Miranda Lambert


Okay, this one is on here because there is a camper business in my family, but most importantly it's on here because I was a true gypsy in another life. Just saying.

8. "When the Sun Goes Down" by Kenny Chesney

My mom and I would JAM to this on the daily. Kenny Chesney was our favorite guy!

9. "Boondocks" by Little Big Town

This song just reminds me of my childhood, and where I grew up. Riding bikes and playing in the mud with my cousins was kinda the highlight of my life.

10. "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver

I have West by God Virginia in my blood. This song takes me home every time. Most of my heart remains in West Virginia with some of my all-time favorite people in the world.

And this, ladies and gentleman, is my life summed up in ten songs!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
