A-Z of My Favorite Songs Pt. 1
Some people love to ask the icebreaker question. "What is your favorite song?" and if you're like me, someone who listens to an abundance of music, you don't have one. You have several, especially nowadays when there are so many streaming services and ways to access new music. I've been in quite a writer's block for a little bit of time, and this idea came to my mind and I got extremely excited. I know lists are sort of cop outs when it comes to articles, but I love them, especially ones like these where there are so many choices. I hope this list will inspire you to make your own because I would love to look at someone else's. This is the first 13, and I will be doing the second tomorrow.

My Top 10 One Direction Songs
In order to survive this much-longer-than-18-months hiatus, I find myself replaying every song One Direction has ever recorded about twelve times a day. Now, before you say it, it’s not a problem, it’s a choice. A choice that I continue to make against my better judgment every single day. Below is a list of my absolute favorite songs recorded by my five favorite idiots. They are in no particular order because these songs are like my children, and it just wouldn’t be right to rank them in such a way.

10 Greatest Cover Songs by Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan is normally known as the greatest songwriter who has ever lived and, well, that is correct. But that doesn't mean he doesn't like to experiment with the songs of other artists from time to time, sometimes changing them to suit him. There have been many on many different albums and in many different eras in which Bob Dylan has covered another artists song and sometimes, better than the original.

Best Genius Verified Videos
As I explained in one of my previous articles, "Content to watch on YouTube if you love music." Genius has a YouTube channel with various series about artists and the process it takes to make their music. One of these series is called Genius Verified in which artists come and explain their song lyrics. The series invites all artists at various stages of their music careers. From upcoming singers like Clairo, Kiana Lede, and Trinidad Cordona to Grammy winning artist such as Jay Rock, Anderson Paak, and Daniel Caesar, the series gives all artists the platform to express how they came up with their lyrics. As someone who wants to become a songwriter, this series is extremely impressive to me, and I love it. Now as much as I would love to binge every single video, some videos are unnecessary, because there isn’t any symbolism behind wanting to go to the jeweler. Unless, I don’t know, you’re somehow talking about how the jewels are a representation of your frozen tears or cold heart. Moreover not every one of these genius videos is perfect, so there are only a good amount that I enjoyed, and feel the need to share with you.

They both are in close touch with human emotions, values, beliefs and exploits, existing in a shared associative array.

Here is the list of the best songs about diamonds, which across the years has impressed the listeners with the refined interplaying between sounds and contextual symbolical meaning.

The Best Albums of All Time
A pre-warning that there are some controversial picks in this article and undoubtably many of you will disagree with me. However, for me, music is both universal and individual, and what an album means to you might mean something different to someone else.

Songs If You Need a Hug
Hello there, from time to time, we all go through some stuff. Whether it is a breakup, a family issue, a feeling of emptiness or depression, or a lack of confidence in yourself, I think we all know some painful moments when we just want to curl into a ball, and have a good cry, and disappear for some time from our every-day stress.

Content to Watch on Youtube If You Love Music
Youtube has become the home for over-budgeted music videos, girls trying to be relatable, and easy ways to lose weight, so it can be hard to find content one actually enjoys. Sure we are given recommendations based on what we've previously watched, but all it takes is your sister signing in to your account for those recommendations to be inaccurate. It took some time, but through a series of scrolls and searches I've compiled a list of quality segments to watch on Youtube, specifically for those who love music like myself. This list, of course, excludes the obvious thing us music lovers love on youtube; music videos.

Bob Dylan’s Best Epic Narratives
Bob Dylan is not only known as the God of Folk for his production of some of the most incredibly memorable protest anthems of the 1960s. He is also known as the God of Folk, because of his output of the epic narrative. As you’ve probably noticed whilst listening to Bob Dylan’s discography, he is a prolific writer, and tends to write some of his songs at a length of ten minutes or more. Some of his songs consist of multiple characters, an entire cast of different people representing different things. Some of his songs consist of fewer characters, but are very heavy on the story—forcing the listener to listen to the song properly if they are to engage with the narrator on any level. With Bob Dylan’s discography there isn’t really a song that can be considered “background music” as every single track invites you into the atmosphere to look at various characters, themes, stories, plots, ideas, concepts, and critiques in a way that only Bob Dylan knows how to write.
