What Music Means To Me

Many people believe that you need to be a musician, play an instrument, or sing for music to be a substantial part of your life. This is not the case. I'm not a musician, I don't play an instrument, and I don't sing, but music is one of the most important things in my life. To me, music isn't just a fun way to pass time, it's so much more than that. Music is an escape from reality. Music is a way to express your thoughts when you can't put them into words. Music is a world within itself, with a language that we all understand.

Music is my safety net. It catches me when I fall. Music is the one thing that will always be there for you, helping you get through whatever obstacle that comes along. I have had to face quite a few obstacles in my life and I honestly don't think I would have gotten through them without music. Music lets me express myself in ways I didn't know were possible.Through all of the drama, the break ups, the fights with my friends and family, music gave me a strength that I didn't know I had. In my opinion, music can tell you more about a person than they ever will.

People all around the world listen to music. It's something that brings us all together through all of our differences. Music is something that we can all connect, relate, and bond to. Music moves people and connects people in ways that no other medium can. Music acts like a medicine. A bond over music is a bond like no other. Music takes people out of themselves for a few hours and that is what people connect to. People connect over the freedom and love that is music.

I love music because it has always been there for me when I needed it. Music says what I can't express and takes me to a place that I can't get to on my own. Music lets you feel free and escape reality. Music makes things easier and allows you to understand people better. Music is unique to everyone and hits everyone differently. Twenty people could listen to the same song and the way that each person takes it in could be completely different. Music to me is what connects us and saves us.

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.
