The Kate Bush Songs You May Have Missed
I often don’t fall in with the mainstream and so this is a trawl through Kate'scatalogue to find ten songs that you may be unaware of. I was also alerted to "Mná na hÉireann" by a comment on a Youtube video so I have also included that, making eleven songs.

It's still falling down...
Thank you for the track All Falls Down. A long time ago, when life was simpler, this was simply a song with a funky beat and great lyrics that had a great vibe to it. Those were my adolescent days with my juvenile problems that felt like true cataclysmic catastrophes. Those would pale in comparison to the things that stress me today. This song speaks volumes about the trials and tribulations one will encounter on the road to glory. I’m sure we all know how the song goes, but take into consideration the separate phases the song goes through in just a matter of minutes. Now I’m writing solely based on my own experiences and interpretations of the song. I’ve second-guessed both of my degrees from the moment I got them because it’s so hard to find passion in a field with little to no grey area. “That major that she majored in don’t make no money.” Story of my life. Because the money to be made entails becoming a person I’m not equipped to be. Selling yourself for a dollar is the theme. I thought I could find security in a field that wouldn’t deviate so far from the rules and that hasn’t been the case. The song itself reminds me that things will continue to go wrong as long as you keep focusing on all the wrongs around you. It takes a strong mind to be able to see the positives around you whenever everything seems darkest. The song will transcend time and generations because the problems depicted in the song have continued to plague our society. Many will criticize a person that decides to overlook their shortcomings for the pursuit of happiness. But those same people will also advise you to do what makes you happy. The contradiction lies in the fact that advice can only seem sound when that person is happy with their situation. The struggles we encounter will always be in abundance. It helps define us because the person that rises from being knocked down is never the same person that went down. You rise a little tougher, a little wiser, a lot more determined.

Fans Choice: 20 Favorite Songs of Kate Bush. Top Story - August 2022.
I have long been a Kate Bush fan. She first came to my attention in the fall of 1980. I was, as per usual, visiting my friends that worked at Licorice Pizza Music Store #20. One of the employees, I forget who it was, put Never for Ever, Kate's newest album at the time, onto the turntable. Right from the first song, "Babooshka," I was sold.

River Studio's acoustic night, Friday 8th July
I want to start this article off by thanking all the performers who played at this event. I hadn't actually met them before the event, as in some cases I actually found their music online. I have to say though, that everyone lived up to any expectation I had and the performances while all very different, were of high quality. Apart from me of course, but in all fairness, I barely got any sleep the night before and I hadn't eaten any dinner. Plus I had to worry about timing and making sure everyone turned up and if you don't know me I am a worrier especially when it comes to these sorts of things.

Ike Rhein Debuts New Music Video "Summer Breeze"
Earlier this year, Ike Rhein released the songs and music videos, "Messed It Up (feat. Luh Kel)" and "Violin," which garnered over 1.5 million streams/views and 2.5 million streams/views respectively. Ike Rhein is back, once again, with new heat. "Summer Breeze" is the perfect summer anthem...literally. "Summer Breeze" is a catchy, lovey-dovey Pop song that, in true Ike Rhein fashion, blends elements from various genres of music to capture the heart of even the pickiest listener.

You know what songs suck? pt.1
I'm probably the only one I know that not only dislikes songs on Apple or Spotify to make sure they never come up again, but I also make sure they go into their own folder to rot with the other songs that made me feel queasy, made me shake my head, made me exclaim "ugh shut up," or simply made me turn off because it just didn't...hit. Why? Maybe because I'm a hater to my core, or maybe I just like taking note of what songs I dislike and why. What do I do with them? Usually nothing except maybe bringing them up in conversation, or rolling my eyes when they play in the background of a tik tok video (I'm looking at you "Oh no. Oh no. Oh no no no--"NO GOSH NO.PLEASE STOP).
