Stop What You're Doing And Listen To These Covers

Sometimes it's nice to hear things in a different way.

Stop What You're Doing And Listen To These Covers

There's something about music–it's not just the beat or how catchy the tune is. It's about the artist who performs and sings the heartfelt words. How they make things their own and contribute a style to the music they are performing. Music is pure art and I think covers make us realize that.

Sometimes it's nice to hear things in a different way. It opens our ears, and draws us in.

1. Ellie Goulding's Cover of "Take Me To Church" by Hozier


Ellie usually sings fast beat-pop songs–hearing her sing slow, alternative rock is so different than what we're used to. You realize how amazing her vocals are and I love the trippy beat she adds to the background of this cover.

2. Sleeping With Sirens Cover of "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls


I know what you might be thinking. It's going to be another hardcore screaming pop-goes-punk cover of a song, but I promise you, it's not. Kellin Quinn's voice is so soothing and beautiful in this song.

3. Lennon & Maisy's Cover of "Thats What's Up" by Edward Sharp and The Magnetic Zeros


The voices that come out of these young girls are amazing. From the first verse they sing, you're automatically dragged in. Personally, I think this cover is a lot catchier and cuter than the original.

5. Halsey's Cover of "Love Yourself" by Justin Bieber

Still angry, bitter and not over your ex yet ? You might enjoy Halsey's cover of Love Yourself more than original.

6. Pink's cover of "Me & Bobby McGee" by Janis Joplin

Pink kills it at all her covers of old rock songs. I'm still waiting for the day she becomes a hard-core rocker, because she seriously could be the next Janis of our generation.

7. Miley Cyrus's Cover of "Lilac Wine" by James Shelton


Miley, we miss your amazing vocals. This cover is art. "Lilac Wine" is a popular song covered by various artists, and I believe this is the best cover I heard so far. Miley's another singer of our generation that I believe would be a killer rockstar. I also suggest listening to Miley's cover of "Jolene" by Dolly Parton.

8. Gracie Abram's cover of "Crazy In Love" By Beyonce

I never knew how beautiful the lyrics were to this song until hearing this cover. The slow tempo is so pleasing to the ear. Gracie is an amazing upcoming artist–her songs are only available through Soundcloud, so make sure to check out more of her songs/covers!

9. Lake Street Dive's Cover of "I Want You Back" By Jackson Five

Rachael Price could sing the alphabet and I'd think it was the best cover I've ever heard. Her voice is full of soul and will drag you in. One of the most underrated bands of our generation, I suggest you listen to their cover of "Rich Girl" also.

10. Tyler Joseph's Cover of "I Can't Falling In Love" by Elvis


After hearing this cover, I can't help falling in love with Tyler Joseph.

Happy listening, my friends!

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.
