Who Eased Minds Best?
There are many things about being a kid that one never forgets. For example, I will never forget being 11 years old in the spring of 2001 and sitting in the passenger seat of my aunt’s black Nissan, eating my medium-sized cup of French Vanilla ice cream mixed with gummy bears. We were parked in front of a now long-gone Baskin-Robbins shop almost hidden inside a shopping center near Desert Inn and Sandhill, not far from the Boulder Station Hotel & Casino in the southeast corner of Las Vegas. The CD playing on the car radio was 1972’s Simon & Garfunkel’s Greatest Hits. Even 15 years later, I remember the powerful and dramatic crash that hit the la-la-lie chorus of “The Boxer.” I also recall setting my teenage romantic angst to the psychedelic sound and melody of “The Sound of Silence.” Finally, I still remember a wonderful kind of fear flowing down my spine while hearing the dramatic “Wall of Sound” force of “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. It was a kind of power only matched by Art Garfunkel belting those infamous high notes in the song’s crescendo.

The Emotional Power of Death in Music: How Songs Help Us Face Mortality
Music has always been an art form that touches the deepest parts of the human psyche, allowing individuals to explore a vast range of emotions. One of the most profound ways that music affects us is by addressing the concepts of mortality, death, and the fragile nature of life. Over the centuries, artists across genres have used death as a thematic focus in their music, crafting what can be called the "death track"—songs or compositions that tap into the collective consciousness surrounding death and loss. This "death track" in music serves as a bridge between the listener's emotions and the universal human experience of confronting mortality.

Short n' Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter - Bop or Flop?
ALBUM OF THE YEAR. LYRICAL. ADDICTIVE. Short n' Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter is definitely high on the list for songs I cannot turn off. Each and every song off this album is just *chef's kiss*. So good. So, so good. You'd want to crank up the stereo volume and dance down the street to most songs on this album... shed a little tear for a couple others. No matter what, you will not be turning this album off once you press play (As long as you're 18+... because the songs and it's lyrics are definitely not kid friendly at all. This album was in true Former Disney Star fashion, I must say).

Thus, each entry represents one of the cardinal directions, guiding us through colorful universes that reflect the tempestuous nature of our human condition. Let's see where the current takes us!

Musical Time Capsule: Cold War and Nuclear Anxiety. Content Warning.
I've always been fascinated by the idea that consuming art from previous eras often acts as a history lesson and a living time capsule into what the social and political climate was like at the time. Perhaps I will turn this into a series of other events, somewhere down the road. But for now, I want to focus on the nuclear anxiety from the 60s-80s; where tensions between the US and Soviet Union were at an all time high.

An End Of Summer Playlist
Another summer is closing up, I’ve been thinking of the songs that make me think of summer. Personally, I love summer as much I complain about it’s heatwaves. I don’t regret any of the summers I’ve had wether they were bad or good. Every summer I create a playlist, some of these are the songs I’ve listened to all my life and some are new additions I picked up from my other summers.
