Wesley Wales Anderson is the quirky American director who creates some of the most beautifully done films in recent years. The colorful cinematographic sequences, vintage-style wardrobes, and Bill Murray showing up somewhere in almost all of his films make Anderson's movies a work of art. The icing on the cake of his offbeat productions is the films' soundtracks. They mix music composed for the films with 1960s and '70s classics that perfectly fit his productions' strange and artistic plots.

As an avid fan of the 1960s and '70s, an appreciator of the colors of mustard yellow and salmon pink and a watcher of Wesley Wales Anderson films, I have made you a mixtape of my favorite songs (in no particular order) from Anderson's productions.


Moonrise Kingdom

"Le temps de l'amour" // Francoise Hardy


The Royal Tenenbaums

"Judy is a Punk" // The Ramones

"Police and Thieves" // The Clash



"Police and Thieves" // The Clash



The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

"Life on Mars" // David Bowie


Rushmore

"A Quick One, While He's Away" // The Who



Anderson's films are filled with too many songs to count, so I had to stick with just a few. In case you have the desire to listen to almost every song ever used by Wes Anderson, a lovely person complied 498 of them into a spotify playlist.

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.
