Soundtrack to My Life

October 7th, 2019
Every free moment I have I spend it listening to music, wether it's my classic rock essentials that I loved since I can remember, or new music from a variety of artists with different sounds and messages. It would be nearly impossible to add in every song that's effected me in my short 18 years of life, but here are a few of my favorite songs that will stay close to my heart forever.

Soundtrack to My Life

Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac.

Being the worlds biggest Stevie Nicks fan, there may be some bias in this statement but, 'Silver Springs' off of Fleetwood Macs "Rumors" 1977 album is one of the most overlooked, powerful, and soul shaking heartbreak songs of the century.

Ode to Viceroy by Mac DeMarco.

My attraction to Mac's music stems from his originality and unique style. Throughout every album there's diversity as he creates basically his own genre of music, merging surf rock with guitar infused blues. Ode to Viceroy is such a beautiful and strong piece of music and accurately shows DeMarco's talents as a musician.

Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks.

This song brings out so many emotions, its almost poetic. The nostalgic light flow can be enjoyed in every way. Lead Vocalist Ray Davies described this piece "like an extract from a diary nobody was allowed to read". A perfect song to end a summer night, beautiful and melancholy all at once.

One of These Nights by Eagles.

This song of lusty ambiance includes rich instrumental tunes from Don Henley and is a laid back uplifting song of little depth. Wether you're in the car, on the beach, or with your friends, this songs tune brings classic rock fans like myself together.

Friend of the Devil by Grateful Dead.

While the entire 'American Beauty' album was life changing, this song was the one that has stayed with me years after hearing it for the first time. This country piece is easy to listen to and is upbeat compared to a majority of the Dead's slower and more instrumental pieces.

It Ain't Me Babe by Joan Baez.

Although this calming folk song was originally sang by Bob Dylan, Joan Baez gives a whole new perspective coming from a woman. I have always loved this song when I heard it on Dylan's track, but the unpopular truth is expressed through Baez's version- that a woman could actually not need a man. For the 60's, this was a landmark in female empowerment and we stan.

Landslide by Fleetwood Mac.

Everyone with a good taste in music loves this song, being that the lyrics are so poetic that they can be interpreted differently to each person. For me, this song will always be one of my favorite songs of all time. The story Stevie Nicks tells of the path of life and growth, and feeling stuck or pummeled by an expectation from yourself of the person you have to be and holding onto the things in the past that made you happy. This song of growth and struggle is so powerful and makes you feel not alone with these unexplainable feelings of getting older.

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.
