Music has always been a big part of everyone's lives, now especially, we rely on music to express our emotions, styles, and cultures. Some music has a very specific message even if you don't think it does, but sometimes, we don't care for a message and care about how it makes us feel. Here are some songs that you may not have heard before but they will definitely be on repeat for the next couple of weeks.

"Carried Away" - Passion Pit

"Carried Away" came out in 2012 before the release of Passion Pit's second studio album. This is definitely at the top of my "Feel Good" playlist. Makes you want to jump around and dance. If you're into Indie/alternative pop, you're definitely going to like this song and some of their other songs.

"Violet Hill" - Coldplay

Coming in with another Alternative/Indie song, "Violet Hill" came out in 2008 with their well-known album "Viva La Vida". This song was built around repetitive guitar sounds and unique rhythms. A great song to rock out and one that you should add to your workout playlist.

"Operator"(He Doesn't Call Me) - Låpsley

"Operator" has a little sad vibe, but an insanely upbeat tune. I've never had a song about a failing relationship make me wanna dance more than "Operator" did when I first listened to it. Released in 2016, this song is way too underrated and should be shown a lot more love.

"Losing You" - Boy Pablo

"Losing You" is also one of my favorite Indie/Alternative songs (I think we can say that indie is my favorite genre). This is a feel-good song that will make you shake your shoulders a little. Released in 2018, Boy Pablo was a favorite at festivals, and "Losing You" and a couple of other songs were definitely hits.

"Bad Idea" - Ariana Grande

My favorite song from the "Thank You Next" album is "Bad Idea". This song definitely one of the most underrated songs from the entire album. If you're not an Ariana Grande fan, and you haven't listened to the entire album, you might not have heard this one, but it's worth your time to listen to.

"For Him." - Troye Sivan

I was obsessed with this song in middle school and if I'm being honest, I still am. Released in 2015, with the rest of his album "Blue Neighborhood", healing from his past lover, but also a super fun song. It might seem a little sad when you're really invested in the lyrics, but the tune is lots of fun to dance around to.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
