A view of existence through Bob Dylan’s It’s Alright Ma
There are times when you read a book only to find yourself stuck in oblivion. Those times when the author has brought up a topic …
To be Present – Present by Khalid
Khalid asks, “Is it okay if I take the night to be present, yeah?”
Is it ok? I know my quality time people dig this. That’s my love language too. Sounds silly to ask to be present but it’s hard to get that.
Pretty Unpretty
Differently beautiful, beautiful on the inside are the words that are said when we do not exactly fit into the world’s standard of beauty. However much we want to sugarcoat it, the word is unpretty or ugly. Let us face it, saying “ugly’” will only be offensive if someone considers him/ herself that but trying to hide in the shadow of “inner beauty.”
Where is the faith? How to save a life – The Fray
One of the saddest things about life is finding out that someone so close to you fell off the way. They might have got an addiction to drugs or something else to numb the pain of inside. We lose some to suicide, depression, others just struggle to exist and see each day go by. We say to ourselves, “But I have always been here for you.” “Why didn’t you tell me?” Well, why didn’t they say anything
Moving on…? Thank U Next by Ariana Grande
Remember when you saw them and all you could feel were butterflies in your stomach? Remember when by their smiles your knees got weak? Remember when you could not think about was love and you would see it in their eyes? Remember when by their embrace, your tears could flow like a river and the feeling of freedom from the weight lifted off your shoulder would feel you up? Remember when you would tremble by a kiss on your cheeks? It was awesome. Wasn’t it? The world would stop for the love you shared. The air would grow thinner and all you could breath in was the love that filled the air between you.
Love and Boy bands – Music Highlights of the 90s
Whether we like it or not, at some point in our lives we find ourselves having deep emotions for human companionship. In simpler terms, we fall in love, yeah, I don’t know why the thought of it sounds funny to me. However, just like everyone else I have been caught up in such moments a couple of times. As a music enthusiast, I go through all my emotions through music, including such kind. In my opinion no music best describe love better than Rhythm and blues of the 90s. My playlist for the moments that I am high on love take me back to the 90s. This playlist is lyrically inclined to the boy bands that hit the scene of music in the 90s some of my favorite songs from these boy bands being;
Death and Grief
None is spared from the inevitable cold kiss off death. However, nothing takes us aback as the news of the demise of somebody we knew. One because we refer them in past tense and second because it is unbelievable that you will no longer hear the sound of their voices, see the smile in their faces or enjoy a warm embrace from them. From this time on they are literally cold until they are down to nothing.
Is the understanding of feminism subjective? Lyrics about women empowerment
With the rise and sensitization of women empowerment and their rights around the world, I feel like the term feminism has been hugely misunderstood. The mention of the term has become very uncomfortable for many people. To men, it seems like the women are out here to fight them and take their places in the society while on the other hand women have neglected their natural born gifts to out seat the men and take their place. Again, I insist, gender equality is equal opportunity for everyone to do what feels best in their hearts and minds. Women are powerful and strong in their own right. And so are men, but for this article I will talk about lyrics that remind women of their empowerment.
Life is for living – Rise up by Andra Day
Why are we alive? Why are we afraid of dying? Why do we struggle so much to make ends meet? Why do we go ahead and work for more than we need? If it was simply for survival, wouldn’t food, shelter and clothes be enough? Is it necessary to wake up before dawn to feed yourself? I could go on but I guarantee that I will never find the answer. We work too hard but life slaps us across the face. It leaves us broken, tired, beat down, lethargic to a point of self-indulgence to find sanity. So, what is the point of it all? When looking at life in this manner, you would ask yourself why you are alive and do everything to make sure you stay alive, yet in the end no one makes it out alive.
