Victim or Survivor
TW: Mention of self harm and suicide attempts I'll preface this article with I have never listened to any other songs by Citizen Soldier. I had never heard of them until I found out from an Icon for Hire stream where they told fans about an "upcoming collab," being with Citizen Soldier. As soon as I saw that it was on Spotify, I listened to it over and over... And over because of the lyrics.

To go along with the March Madness Theme, I am closing out the month with 10 of my favorite songs about MADNESS! NOTE: This was rejected for word count, so I am amending the story to add some selected song lyrics for each selection.

First, let's get this out of the way! It's been a few months since I have published anything on Vocal. I've been lurking here reading and commenting but not writing anything and also not entering any of the challenges, not even the non Vocal+ one that I wouldn't have to pay to enter. Why not? Why wouldn't I bother coming up with something for such a cool challenge?
Donna ReneePublished about a month ago in BeatPlaylist: Politics
Jen Dixon – The Sound Political is personal. The rumbling scandal around the Teesside freeport might seem arcane, but the whiff of dodgy deals seeps into people’s lives. And, when those people are gifted songwriters, it sparks the creative process. Jen Dixon’s work has tended to be a response to her own relationships and feelings, but the more she read about the freeport in the likes of Private Eye, the more she was inspired to write.

Music has always been one of the greatest influences in my life. Each genre holds a special place, certain artists elicit strong emotions, specific songs conjure nostalgic memories.
Alyssa NicolePublished about a month ago in BeatMy year of discovering myself
First, I want to say that when I started, I had no idea how many I would go to and that it would become my new hobby or maybe addiction.

Taylor Swift's "The Tortured Poets Department" Fan Review
I met Taylor Swift at the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN when I was eleven (maybe freshly twelve?) years old. At this point, Swift had one single on the radio, "Tim McGraw," and she was essentially a nobody. My god how things have changed. I was a fan then and I'm probably considered a superfan now. This is my first impression of her most recent album release, "The Tortured Poets Department."

Introduction I thought I had done a piece on this, but I may have mentioned it here and there and certainly documented a few of them on my blog here:
Mike Singleton - MikeydredPublished about 18 hours ago in BeatUnraveling the Roots
Hip hop, a cultural movement that emerged in the Bronx, New York City, during the 1970s, has grown into a global phenomenon with a rich and diverse history.

Godrich MboungouPublished about 18 hours ago in BeatFrankie's Song of the Week: Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter
A little something different from me while I deal with the strain of writers block. I thought I'd do a song of the week, because I have been surely annoying my neighbours and my friends with this absolute musical GEM. I am of course talking about Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.

The Greatest, Most Dynamic, Complex, and Diverse, But Least Popular Musical Genre Yet Invented, May Have Finally Erased an Enduring Blemish
If you are reading this then you are probably a junglist like myself. A lover of drum & bass/jungle music. Because of that fact there are at least three things that I know about you. Number one you are a very cool person with excellent tastes who I'd love to hang out with and happily call a friend. Number two you have had a variation of the following conversation way too many times in your life to count.
Everyday JunglistPublished a day ago in BeatLyricism & Hip Hop
By Brian Salkowski At its core, lyricism is the art of expressing emotions, thoughts, or personal experiences through the use of poetic and musical language. It is the embodiment of the lyrical form, where words are carefully crafted to evoke a particular mood or sentiment. Rather than telling a cohesive story, many lyric poems serve as meditations on specific states of mind or emotional experiences. Writers employ various poetic techniques—such as rhyme, meter, repetition, alliteration, and assonance or consonance—to infuse their poems with musical qualities. The more unified a poem is, the more it flows, akin to a melody that could be set to music.
Music From The Other Room
Introduction I have said that if you decide to move your vinyl, CDs, DVDs or VHS Tapes to the loft, you may as well give them to a charity shop because you are never going to go up there to retrieve something, and that can be said of a lot of things that you put in the loft.
