BP: Spring 2017: Here Comes The Sun

Why did Adele cross the road?

To say “Hello” from the other side.

Luckily, this week has been better than that joke. The sun is shining and it has started to feel like summer. In my own personal experience everyone is much happier when the weather gets nice and you can be outside. Especially after suffering through the winter months in Rexburg, Idaho (no joke, it’s colder than the North Pole here). With the adventures outside comes music that reflects the mood. Usually happy, party songs that can be blasted from a Bluetooth speaker floating down the river or as you hike to the top of a mountain.

As kids in college music plays an important role in life. It is a way to express yourself when words fail you. You can control your emotions with what you listen to or the other way around. Let the music make you feel something new, different, exciting. Music is also a social activity. If you go to a party with no music the chances of people feeling awkward are high. People don’t talk as much as they use to, they bond over music. Remember that when you plan your next get together. The type of music you play controls the mood and also can help people relate better!

One album that took the world by storm this week was Harry Styles new solo album. This is his first after the One Direction break up and it has been anticipated for quite some time. The young artist released 10 songs on his first, self titled, album. Apple Music even got a behind the scenes short film to release to eager fans.

Next week is going to be thrilling with new music from Lorde, Katy Perry, and OneRepublic. And maybe even some better jokes.

Here are some favorites from this week:
