Top Summer Songs That Could Make You Happy
http://imgur.com/2MkgG7M

Hey, all! The past week has been pretty hectic, so one of my favorite things to do is to listen to some upbeat songs to get me back in focus, especially during summer. Do you ever listen to music to help change your mood? If you do, here are some of my favorite songs that have debuted within the last year that are perfect to make you feel like summer. Maybe they’re some of your favorites too. Coldplay and Major Lazer make two appearances apiece (I am a huge fan of these artists, and they've both had a great year so far!). Hopefully, I can inspire a little summer happiness with my picks. Enjoy!

P.S. More of my musical suggestions to come :)

  • “Something Just Like This”- The Chainsmokers feat. Coldplay

This song makes me feel like a superhero. Probably because Chris Martin talks about superheroes, but The Chainsmokers have been creating some great feel-good music this year, and “Something Just Like This” doesn’t disappoint.


"Run Up"- Major Lazer feat. PARTYNEXTDOOR and Nicki Minaj

Major Lazer works a Caribbean feel on this one along with verses from PARTYNEXTDOOR and Nicki Minaj. There's really nothing more to say, except that you might want to put on your shades while you listen to this.


  • “Waterfall-Seeb Remix”- Stargate feat. Seeb, P!nk, and Sia

The beat makes me feel as if I’m relaxing amid a calm storm. However, the fact that P!nk and Sia are on a song together talking about waterfalls is icing on the cake. Stargate and Seeb nailed it with this one.


  • “Call on Me- Ryan Riback Remix”- Starley feat. Ryan Riback

The epitome of ‘Shower Karaoke’ with this uplifting beat. With Ryan Riback’s work on this one, Starley’s lyrics are brought to life with her golden vocals. How can you not be happy with this song?


  • “Cold Water”- Major Lazer feat. MØ, and Justin Bieber

Major Lazer is one of my favorite artists, so it’s no surprise that this song made the list. As Justin sings about jumping in cold water for love, MØ responds that she ‘won’t let go.’ In typical Major Lazer fashion, the beat and lyrics work in harmony pleasing to the ear.


  • “Hymn For The Weekend”- Coldplay feat. Beyoncé

The only song on the list that actually came out a few years ago. The original edit appeared on Coldplay’s 2015 album titled, ‘A Head Full Of Dreams.’ In it, Coldplay takes us on a journey of what love can do to heighten the senses with help from Beyoncé. The vocals and lyrics from Chris Martin (the group’s lead vocalist) and Beyoncé make for chills to the skin in melodic bliss.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
