I don't know about you, but my music taste is a bit all over the place. I guess this is fitting really, as so is my head and generally my emotions too. Music is one of the ways I tend to express and control my emotions, as the "story" in the song tends to change the way I feel. I think this is useful as a coping mechanism, as it allows you to cheer yourself up or get a little of the bad out in a healthy way. Anywhoozles, here's my list. I'll try to keep it mostly positive.

From West Memphis to Worldwide
In a world full of gimmicks, watered-down lyrics, and copycat flows, one artist is cutting through the noise with raw energy, sharp penmanship, and the kind of hunger you can hear in every verse. Meet HakimDaGreat, the artist, the visionary, the vibe—and the next name to know in music.

The Four Irish Folk Songs. Content Warning.
Introduction I saw this meme and thought I wonder if I can categorise Irish Folk Songs using these five headings, maybe two songs in each category. I know that this may not fit with the various Folk purists but I will share it in various Facebook Folk Groups and see what reactions I get.

An Instrumental Playlist
Introduction There are a few songs that refer to musical instruments (sometimes featured in the song) so after checking my playlists that I have previously published here on Vocal, I was surprised to find I hadn't done one on this theme.

Worn Out, Loud and Heavy
Introduction This is another Seven Days In post that has been getting a lot of traction. It is just about listening to an album on what was a new phone (I have stuck with Google Pixels since then) and issues with my headphones and how I overcame it and the album I was listening to, and a few of my favourite songs from it.

How Music is Helping Me Practice French
Do you ever find yourself singing along to a song in another language—only to realize you're actually learning without even trying? Beyond practicing French on Duolingo, Jumpspeak, and reading bilingual books on PrismaText, I’ve found another secret weapon in my language-learning journey: YouTube. Okay, so it may not be such a big secret to some, but learning through music sing-along videos may not be your first thought. Or second, or third. But music is a great way to absorb language, and there are always music videos on YouTube.

Truth And Lies
Introduction This was inspired by an Instagram post I stole that said: Then I thought about songs in my collection about truth and lies. I have lied a few times to get jobs, although I did have the confidence to know that I would be up to speed in a few days in the position, although I have been responsible for seeing some who had lied about their ability and then not able to do the job, out of the door.
