The Songs You Forgot To Remember
8tracks

Every now and then, you'll be sitting in the car or scrolling through your iPod from 2005, and you hear that one throwback jam and you're instantly back in your weird striped shirt and overalls. Nothing but great memories come from these songs. Now, once I throw these songs at you, what does it make you remember?

Jesse McCartney - "Leavin"

Don't even tell me you didn't have your fifth grade boyfriend break your heart and you listened to this on repeat.

Bowling For Soup - "1985"

We all know we didn't understand the words, most of you still probably don't know what a CPA is, but still, this song was the jam of 2004.

Yellowcard - "Ocean Avenue"

If you didn't yell this song at the top of your lungs on a long car ride, then I don't know if I can trust you.

Eiffel 65 – "Blue (Da Ba Dee)"

Come on. You know any time you wore a blue outfit this song was stuck in your head the entire day.

Blink 182 – "All the Small Things"

Actually, if you really forgot this song, it'll make me a little bit upset.

Gavin DeGraw – "I Don’t Want To Be"

Ah, I can hear it now. "I DON'T WANNA BE ANYTHING ODDABA WHABABA BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAAAAH AHHH" Only a select few knew the words, everyone else ... kind of a lost cause.

Gnarls Barkley - "Crazy"

Believe it or not, CeeLo Green's first hit wasn't "Forget You." It was something much, much better than that.

LA Roux - "In For The Kill"

Most people are more familiar with the Skrillex remix, but come on, the original is still pretty great.

The Killers - "Mr. Brightside"

And another one that we didn't really get what all the lines meant, but still screamed it out every time it played.

The Click Five - "Just The Girl"

Such a goodie. Always the one to listen to when the girls came to sleepover.

Missy Elliott - "Get Ur Freak On"

A super classic. Had to finish it off with this one, even though I'm hoping you didn't actually forget this one.


I hope I've helped your nostalgia sky-rocket for the day. Now go jam out for a while, you've got a lot of remembering to do.

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.
