Parker Graye's LAST TIME shows when the love is gone nothing else seems to matter

 

We can make all the promises we want, but when the love is gone there is nothing else that matters. 

In Parker Graye's LAST TIME we see how even the good memories don't keep us from the hurt and disappointments that come when we love that special someone. When we feel what is colorful and bright fade to black we know that the words "last time" don't mean anything if you can't back it up with actions. 

She sings about the promises that were made, but she can't believe it was never enough. In the end we have to do what is best for us, and that is what she realizes. No matter how much they promise it is what is done that matters. 

Riley Clemmons' STUCK INSIDE MY HEAD shows that it's not always easy to free yourself from the past

We all know the importance of moving on, especially when it comes to something that doesn't serve us well. That is sometimes easier said than done, and that is what Riley Clemmons' STUCK INSIDE MY HEAD shows. 

I love the honesty in this song, showing that we are wanting to move on but we can't stop thinking about that someone or something that has brought us good and bad. The beat on this song is addictive and makes you want to move. 

As it starts talking about that song or movie that we can't get out of our head, that is exactly what this song becomes. "I would rather think of anything else instead," she admits, but "you're stuck inside my head."

[REVIEW] A hot song for an even hotter summer. Mariah Carey shines on this one

 

by Cyrus Webb

What happens when Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis and Mariah Carey come together? A song you can't help but keep rocking your playlist.

SOMEWHAT LOVED is a song that I and so many others can relate to: it's all about going through the motions when the love is gone and the decision that has to be made to save yourself. Love is not easy, but the aftermath can also be scary. 

As the song says, however, you have to do what is right for your soul, and a lot of times that means saying goodbye.

[REVIEW] Neoni showcases their independence with MUTINY

by Cyrus Webb

 Neoni is such a talented group that anything they put out normally speaks to me in some form or fashion. MUTINY is no different. It's all about embracing your power and independence, not going along with others expect.

When you get ready to rise up and take what is yours that is when the mutiny begins, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop you. "There's nothing you can do to me," they sing, and that is right. When we realize what we can do and then make our minds up to do it that is when the fun begins.

[REVIEW] Carl Brister uses the gift of music to show what the world needs is more L.O.V.E. with this remix

by Cyrus Webb

 Scripture tells us that God is LOVE, and with the L.O.V.E. remix recording artist Carl Brister reminds us that LOVE is that thing we need to set things right. With so many issues in the world right now this song shows that love is the key to changing things---and that takes work from us all.

Regardless the problem we face L.O.V.E. is the answer. Coupled with compassion and understanding it can lead to the change that we all want to see.

[REVIEW] Baker Grace's I FEEL FOR YOU shows the problems we face when our love is not returned

 by Cyrus Webb

We've all experienced it a time or two: what we are willing to do for the one we love is not reciprocated.

In I FEEL FOR YOU Baker Grace shows that when you are doing all you can it's not enough if the person you're with is willing to throw it all away.  It's not enough for just one to be all in. The song shows that you can feel for someone, but they have to be willing to do their part.

There's got to be a better way she sings, but the ONLY WAY it works is if the other person wants it to.

[REVIEW] LIFE IS HARD, LIVING IS HARDER shows that life doesn't always work out the way you'd like

 Ralph Carter is a true storyteller, and with the single LIFE IS HARD, LIVING IS HARDER you see that come through.

This is not a song about a happy ending. It's about life: the messiness of it that doesn't always come out the way you'd like. We keep going, knowing that every day will not be perfect. "You have to win before you can lose" he sings, reminding us that all of us experience the hit and miss of life. What matters is what we do with it.
