5 Highs And Lows Of Hangout Music Fest

Hangout Fest > Music Midtown, except for Billie Eilish.

Overall, the lineup for Hangout Fest was phenomenal. Even though I didn't know a lot of the artists going in, I listened to them a lot in the weeks leading up to the festival and enjoyed their sets regardless. I ended up seeing a lot of performances! In four days, I saw 22 artists perform part or all of their sets, including but not limited to A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Bryce Vine, lovelytheband, Bazzi, Jimmy Eat World, Two Feet, Elohim, Hozier, and Cardi B.

Even if I can't sing along to every song, watching different artists in their element is worth it. The fact that the festival took place on the beach made it a thousand times better. Alabama isn't the best place to be, especially with things unfolding in the government, but at least I could stick my toes in the Gulf Shore sands and forget how terrible the world is for a weekend.

So I'm not the only one who writes down lyrics in the notes of their phone, right? A lot of people do this and if you don't you should, but since I have these amazing lyrics just sitting there I decided why not share some of them with you and why I like them so much and hope you'll check out the songs too.

Honestly, while everyone else is doing the whole "new year, new me," "out with the old, in with the new." "Thank you 2018, next," I need to slow down for a minute, because what in the actual world was 2018?

Seriously, from graduating to going back to mental health counseling to being a missionary in a different state over spring break, I can't even break down how much 2018 challenged me and stretched me to new emotional and spiritual heights.

Synesthesia Playlists: YELLOW

Playlist 3 of 10.

Eastern Michigan University

As someone who works a desk job collecting data for the company and spends a large amount of time in the car each week, music, podcasts, and audiobooks have quickly become one of my best companions.

But music and other auditory mediums have always had a different feeling to me, representing more than just "background noise". In recent years, I've come to the conclusion that it may be a form of synesthesia.

7 Music Artists From Ohio To Add To Your Playlists ASAP

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ohioshaped.jpg

Known as the heart of America, Ohio has a lot to offer as the birth-place of many important Americans like presidents, astronauts and music artists. Although the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is in Cleveland, I never realized just how many famous singers, musicians and bands have their roots in Ohio. In their hit song "The Heart of Rock & Roll", even the native-California band Huey Lewis and the News recognized that the "heart of rock and roll is still beating / in Cleveland!"

So these are some of the famous singers, musicians and bands from Ohio that are keeping the beat going!
