Perfect Cold Weather Album: Not to Disappear by Daughter

Not to Disappear's gloomy and nostalgic sound goes well with the gloomy, snowy outside on cold evening nights.

Perfect Cold Weather Album: Not to Disappear by Daughter
www.genius.com

Nearly a year ago Daughter (an indie/folk band from England started back in 2010) released their sophomore album January 15th of 2016. Not to Disappear takes on a darker tone compared to the band’s previous album and EP’s. Elena Tonra’s (the band’s lead singer) lyrics maintain their simplistic yet poetic style and her monotonous, static-like vocals against the hectic drums and guitar make a well-matched pair The songs on the album are deep and thoughtful while taking on a glum/melancholy sound (perfect for the winter season). “New Ways” jittery sound includes hopeful yet depressive lyrics while “Numbers” has intense percussion with even more intense lyrics. The band’s songs have powerful messages that allude to mental illness through deep and complex metaphorical and poetic lyrics.

The music videos that Daughter pairs up with her songs keep up with the album’s overarching tone with melancholy and almost nostalgic scenes.

The official music video for the song “How” is reminiscent of the different feelings of anxiety and depression, while the video for “Doing the Right Thing” invokes intense scenes of nostalgia and loneliness.

Daughter’s powerful songs are paired with similarly powerful music videos that emphasize the album’s theme.

The album’s gloomy and nostalgic sound goes well with the gloomy, snowy outside on cold evening nights. Daughter’s songs are calming and peaceful with lyrics that read like poetry. If you’re looking for new bands/artists to listen to, Daughter is a wonderful band that could introduce you to a whole group of other different indie/folk artists.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
