Top Ten Songs You Should Listen To

My music taste is one that is quite diverse, or so I think. If you were to ask some of my friends, my roommate, or my family members, they would probably agree. Some of my music taste comes from my family's Irish heritage and other parts come from my parents taste in music which range from Broadway, rock, pop, and everything in between. The rest of my music taste is currently what is modern pop music. Since my music taste is so varied, it was hard for me to write this list of my top ten current favorite songs. I encourage all of you to take a listen to these songs if you have not done so already. Right now, I am currently listening to so many songs, and if I had to pick my top ten songs right now they would be the ones listed below in no particular order.

1. Solsbury Hill: Sung & Written By: Peter Gabriel

I picked Solsbury Hill because I find it not only to be a beautiful song but a song that relaxes me when my tensions are high. The lyrics and the music are inseparable to me.


2. Forever Young: Sung by: Rod Stewart Written By: Jim Cregan, Kevin Savigar & Rod Stewart

I chose Forever Young because not only do I find it to be a beautiful song but I feel that I have been surrounded by this song most of my life. My family’s love for it influenced my own love for it.

3. Defying Gravity: Sung By: Kristin Chenoweth & Idina Menzel Written by: Stephen Schwartz

I chose Defying Gravity not because it is from one of my personal favorite musicals, but because of the message in the lyrics, being that nothing can stop you. You could even try defying gravity.

4. Edge of Seventeen: Sung & Written By: Stevie Nicks

I love this song not just because I love Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac (her group) but I love the riff of the guitar and the powerful vocals.

5. Non-Stop Sung By: Leslie Odom, Jr., Lin-Manuel Miranda, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Phillipa Soo, Christopher Jackson & Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton Written By: Lin-Manuel Miranda

I chose this song because it provides me with some inspiration with how Hamilton worked in his career quickly and did everything he could

.

6. Trip Through Your Wires: Sung By: U2 Written By: Bono

I chose this song because in my viewpoint, U2 is not only one of the greatest rock bands of all time, but one of the greatest bands of all time. I also love the slight bit of country music on this track in the beginning.

7. June: Sung & Written By: Luka Bloom

I chose June because I consider it to be an Irish song, but also the beauty of the month. The guitar fits the lyrics just right in my opinion.

8. Freedom Fighter: Sung & Written By: Joe Perry of Aerosmith

I chose this song because one of the things I am most proud of are my freedoms as an American. The music on this song is also something I enjoy.

9. Million Reasons: Sung By: Lady Gaga Written By: Mark Ronson, Hillary Lindsey & Lady Gaga

I chose this song because although it is Lady Gaga, I feel that it is not Lady Gaga. I like her vocals on the song and it is almost just her vocals with no instruments besides the light piano in the background.

10. The Chain: Sung By: Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie & Stevie Nicks Written By: Lindsey Buckingham , Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, John McVie & Stevie Nicks

I chose The Chain because I feel it gives me life advice. It is a rock song that is not overbearing which I also like. Lastly, it is by one of my favorite bands Fleetwood Mac.

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.
