Songs Are Spells

They have that magical effect on you.

Music has influenced society in multiple different ways, multiple different aspects. For the most part, it is one of those things that carries over with from culture to culture, with each one having its own version of said music. That is the part that is interesting, and of course this today’s age- chances are there are at least one genre or type of music that people can connect to.

It's just one of those things that is similar to magic almost, a combination of words and sound promoting certain feelings to occur. One song, such as Cut The Cord by Shinedown, can promote feelings of rush, getting pumped. Whereas another, such as Never Too Late by Three Days Grace, promotes different emotions- feelings of sadness and self reflection.

Almost like spells.

One song can capture you, engulf you. Whereas others simply just help pass the time, with time becoming skewed and feeling it goes by faster. They can give you confidence to do that thing or talk to that person. They can make you tap into what you can do, doing that extra rep in the gym.

They can make you scream the lyrics but instead of screams of anger, they can be screams of joy. In concerts, with live music hitting your eardrums, those spells hit you directly. You can “let loose” and enjoy yourself for a change, instead of being worried about that one thing you have been thinking about.

They can be spells of escape, removing yourself from the reality you face. Will they make the problems go away? Sometimes they can or at the very least help you go through and overcome those problems.

Casting them can help you doing an action easier or getting through an action easier.

One’s person spell might not have the same effect on your friend that it has on you; and that's perfectly fine. They have there own music that calls out to them and assists them, in wherever they need them for. And if they do not, they simply have to look for the right spell.

Songs, in the final sense, are spells.

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.

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.
