Divorce - Drive to Goldenhammer - Album Review
I've been planning to review more music since the reviews I posted of Franz Ferdinand's The Human Fear and Mogwai's The Bad Fire. I loved the new album from Squid called Cowards—it's odd, and dark in context but with really interesting bright-sounding noises and strange lyrics. Very proggy too. I also love the new Japanese Breakfast album and the new Courting album. For today's review though, I wanted to talk about Divorce's debut album Drive to Goldenhammer.

Verse 1 I know you don’t think about me now, And this heart hurts so much, but I can’t allow. How does this heal, when I don’t know

The Role Of Music In Stress reduction
Stress is a complex condition that can affect every aspect of our lives. The way we think, feel, and interact with others. Stress is the leading cause of illness today and is responsible for a significant percentage of all doctor's visits. Reading a graph of psychological diagnoses over time creates a chilling realization that conditions of stress, anxiety, and depression have been on an exponential rise for the past 50 years. Research shows that depression will be the leading cause of disability worldwide. Richard Hovan says health is wealth and it's our responsibility to maintain our health. To maintain our health we can take the help of music.

Sing Your Story: How to Turn Words into Unforgettable Song Lyrics
Why Some Lyrics Stick (And Others Flop) Ever wondered why some lyrics stay with us for a lifetime, while others fade into obscurity? Think of The Beatles’ "Yesterday" or Queen’s "Bohemian Rhapsody"—what makes them so memorable? Great lyrics don’t just rhyme; they tell a story, evoke emotions, and flow seamlessly with the music.

Lady Gaga’s Newest Album MAYHEM Is A Nostalgic Triumph
Gaga is so back. MAYHEM, the latest album by pop star and music icon Lady Gaga, is a brilliant culmination of some of Gaga’s best material this decade. This album is so fun and so fresh, while also having such a nostalgic sound to it. I’m completely obsessed with it.

The Jonathan Larson Project.
"The Johnathan Larson Project" just maybe the best off Broadway musical this year! The show clicks on all cylinders with fantastic singing, dancing and staging. The show covers the years and songs that Mr. Larson wrote. His life was cut short at 35 years old by an aortic aneurysm; he died one day before "Rent" opened on Broadway.
