Songs in the Key of my Life
The title video is a song that’s been one of my favorites since I heard it the first time in the spring of 1991, when I was a freshman at Valdosta State University, in my friend Cap’s apartment. I absolutely adore this live version, especially Shawn Colvin in that silk dress with combat boots.

Where Words Fail Music Speaks
"Where words fail, music speaks" we've all heard this quote and some of us have that tattooed on our wrists or arms to remind us. Yet how do lyrics in songs mean so much? It would be the same if it was poety would it not? isn't that basically what lyrics are just poetry. of course, one may argue that classical music can influence emotions, which can be hard to reach without the music. Even in movies, if we change the background music, the whole scene shifts and feels different evoking different emotions throughout the movie. That I understand that "music speaks louder than words" or "where word fail music speaks".

6 Best Lyrics Apps for Musicians. AI-Generated.
Search "lyrics app" and you get dozens of results that all claim to help you write. Most don't, not really. Some are a plain notepad with a music icon on it.

The Soundtrack Of Success: What My Collective Vocal Media Top Stories Sound Like . Top Story - June 2026.
Just to ignite some more creativity, both with the existence of music and my passion for freelance writing and creativity; a cool and comforting thought was to compile a playlist - a soundtrack of songs that reflect the meaning of each article that has won a Top Story Award for me on Vocal Media from 2021 until today. And of course this is to inspire people to write if they are writers, and/or to achieve their goals in other areas of life. Persistence certainly pays, even if it feels like your work is not being recognised. There are no inflated egos here, only humility.

A Song Of Vocal Tales
Introduction Almost every piece I publish on Vocal has a piece of music to go with it. I used to have a Facebook page called "For Everything In My Life There Is A Song" and very often when I read stories, a song or piece of music will come to mind.

Jay-Z Speaks On Drake Vs Kendrick And His Super Bowl Decision by NWO Sparrow
From lawsuits to rap beefs, Hov finally addresses the noise and takes back control of his narrative by NWO Sparrow Jay-Z has always moved different when it comes to speaking publicly. He rarely does interviews, and when he does, it usually means something.

Modes of D for Guitar
Understanding the modes in the Key of D Major involves using the same set of notes (D, E, F#, G, A, B, and C#) but starting and ending on a different note for each mode. This shift in the "center" changes the intervals and the overall emotional character of the music.

Whether the Weather
March is Music in Our Schools month. Many music educators, including me, have taken over the idea of March Madness brackets, usually referring to basketball. Instead, students and/or classroom teachers vote on a series of songs during the month of March, eliminating songs that don't make the cut.
