How One of the Most Iconic Rock Musicians Connected to a Young Autistic Woman in the 21st Century
I remember 10 years ago when people were commermorating what would’ve been his 70th birthday, complete with a little Google Doodle where the “70” blended into his self-portrait doodle. While it took me a while, I eventually saw what the big fuss was all about. After all, my mother had exposed me to the Beatles’ music as a child, if mainly through “Kids’ Versions” of the Beatles.
Jennifer RosePublished 2 years ago in BeatHear My Song!
I can't remember when I first began singing, but one of the earliest memories I have is around 10 years old. I was sick and off school, one of those days where the grown-ups go to work and leave you to your devices. Of course however ill you actually are, you seem to perk up as soon as school starts. With a whole day to fill, music became my port of call.
Rob TaylorPublished 2 years ago in BeatWhat Happens To Our Brain When We Listen To Music
Music has been ubiquitous in human society since ancient times. A binder of interpersonal relationships and an instrument of knowledge and discovery of the nature of the individual, music is probably the truest ambassador of human life, encompassing all aspects of the existence of a relatively young species.

Psilocybin, or ‘magic mushrooms’ are still being considered a Class A drug in the U.K and completely illegal in many countries, despite being a fungi which grows naturally. The polarised view of the psychedelic is interesting; in the U.K you can be imprisoned for selling the mushrooms found growing in many parts of the country, and yet in South American countries such as Peru and Brazil, and Central American countries such as Costa Rica, plant medicines including Psilocybin and Ayahuasca are being used more widely than ever, in spiritual healing ceremonies. Psychedelics have been used by indigenous people for centuries as part of their culture but since the hippie movement of the 60s and 70s, they have been stigmatised in the West.

Songs About Youthfulness
There is a Youtube Playlist of all the songs in this list at the end of the article. What is youthfulness? Pedants may say it is the quality of being young and tie it in with a particular stage of our life. We start as infants, go through childhood, teenage years, adolescence, young adulthood, adulthood, middle age, and so on. One’s youth might range from adolescence through young adulthood, those years pivotal in laying out the path into mature adulthood.

With my tiny violin in my hands - I was about six years old, I walked up to the front, that supposed to be the stage my violin teacher, and he already stood there. I was shy, a little bit, to go on stage in the first place. I had to play a duet with my teacher.
Agnes LaurensPublished 2 years ago in BeatYou Never Know
Perhaps the strangest thing about a cigarette is the fact that nobody accidentally becomes a smoker. We all understand the ramifications of ingesting poisonous smoke and the first drag taste likes brimstone and a punishing buzz. Yet I took another and continued to bum them until I asked our senior friend to buy me my first pack. In retrospect I ask myself why? I love my idols and don’t want to explicitly blame the likes of Kurt Cobain an otherwise inspirational person for igniting the idea of a cig hung from my mouth, in fact Kurt was quite adamant about cigarettes not being cool. Still, I read through the lines of his Camel Light breath. My first Camel Crush was like a tar covered door handle to a room filled with other buzzes, highs, and chemical crimes my 7th grade self would have tattled on my parents to.

El Pablo 1xPublished 2 years ago in BeatWeary: How Black Women Reclaim Through Music
Solange sings: "I'm weary of the ways of the world." The world can be a relentless place. So big and full of people and places where trust is a luxury easily taken advantage of. Black girls and women, among the disadvantaged, endure through the longing for our needs to be met. Yet, there is always a point of weariness. We, ourselves, have always been cape(able) of naming our desires and feelings.

Do you happen to be someone who purchases music? If that’s the case, how do you envision the future of paid music? We've certainly gone a long way in terms of music purchasing: there was a period when people used to listen to audio cassettes, then CDs and downloads. As technology progresses, new ways for people to listen to and buy music become accessible, however, what does the future hold?
