The Project

they describe their most recent album as a "project" and I think that's brilliant and all the more personal. they're invested- not seeking fame and glory, but rather scoping strategies and investing time to make tasteful and surreal epiphanies for all. their music is becoming an all-encompassing experience for many and, quite literally, changing people's perception of multiple-genre music.

The average joe's

two guys, Harrison and Clay, at one time just making music in their college dorm rooms, now making historical and culturally impactful music; an immersive journey that is capable of captivating, intriguing and luring in for more. anyone can do anything great.

The perspective

this album is "... about taking a step away from all the noise and things that maybe weigh you down in life." and for that perspective and purpose in making their music, i thank them. life is about taking a step back sometimes, or maybe a few steps back; gaining perspective and enlightening oneself. the fact that music has the power to usher one into that state has always blown my mind.

The Show

i had the privilege of seeing Odesza perform their album live with my best friend in Chicago, Illinois.

and I did see a full spectrum of something

surreal. the lights, the strategic movement and transitions of the songs themselves- it wasn't just one kind of sound or one kind of visual, as they put it.

and I've always loved music- been infatuated with it, even. but with Odesza, you are engulfed with strategy, raw talent and a plethora of sounds varying from strings and trumpets to electronic and vocal presentations.

all encompassing.

My top songs:

Boy

Late Night

Bloom - Live

IPlayYouListen - Live

Light - Instrumental

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

By: James McDonald

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
