Sound As Story
I’ve never been a massive fan of the traditional love story pop song. It’s not that I don’t like them, sometimes nothing beats a catchy, four chord radio tune. It’s just that they’ve never gripped me. When I’m listening to music, I’m usually looking to zone out for a bit, whether just before bed or a long car journey. For that, I need something that really sparks my imagination.

Chill, Cinematic, & Climactic Songs for the Utmost State of Relaxation
I came across a podcast called Lore. I was instantly HOOKED. The biggest problem for me was that I would have to re-listen to the podcast because I found myself OBSESSED with the music playing in the background. Lucky for me, Aaron Mahnke, the creator, writer, host, and producer of the show, says who the fantastic musician is providing these eerie tunes as an accompaniment. So, who is it, you're wondering? Chad Lawson is the mastermind Composer behind Lore.

Going to my 'Happy Place'
Some days, work is just draining. ( Well, most days) Leaving the office in a bad mood can put a damper on the rest of your night, which is why your ‘driving home’ playlist can be absolutely crucial. To take me out of the work mindset, I like to refresh myself with music that takes me to my happy place. “And where is that?” you might ask.

Top 4 Underrated Prince Songs
Prince Rogers Nelson made an impact on the way music is for creativity and challenge. The way music can be created in a new way to twist up the tune of the genres, and how far a song can go about sultry themes. He's the reason why there is a Parents Music Resource Center to warn people of the lyrics, and why there is a warning label of Parental Advisory on the CDs you buy. Prince wasn’t afraid to take a risk; he changed music forever, but music also changed when he died. There will never be another musician like Prince and those doves are always going to cry.

Name That Tune...
”Hello?”, I answer my phone at 3am, it’s my cousin, which is the main reason I answered incase it’s a family crisis. But in reality, I should have guessed, she’s calling from the local bar in our hometown. She’s playing the popular song game, “Name That Tune”, “What’s That Song”, or whatever variation thought of by the clever entertainment staff.

Basics of Songwriting
I know everything there is to know about music theory. ~ Yngwie J. Malmsteen Malmsteen’s statement is quite a statement to make considering the complexity of music theory: someone who claims to have mastered theory is either a musical genius or possesses a giant ego (or both). And there are probably few people qualified to disprove him. So does that mean there is no hope for us lesser mortals? Of course not. Pop music doesn’t require an exhaustive understanding of music theory for the simple reason that it’s just not that complicated. Many pop musicians and songwriters can’t read a note and have little formal training.
