80s music
The 80s were chockful of New Wave power ballads, synthesizers, drum machines, and no shortage of Madonna and Michael Jackson.
An Instrumental Playlist
Introduction There are a few songs that refer to musical instruments (sometimes featured in the song) so after checking my playlists that I have previously published here on Vocal, I was surprised to find I hadn't done one on this theme.

Nature’s Equation
This is a submission for the Harmonic Verses challenge. It is divided into three parts: the lyrics, an actual recording of the song (with yours truly on vocals), and, for the truly musically minded, the song script detailing the musical structure.

Worn Out, Loud and Heavy
Introduction This is another Seven Days In post that has been getting a lot of traction. It is just about listening to an album on what was a new phone (I have stuck with Google Pixels since then) and issues with my headphones and how I overcame it and the album I was listening to, and a few of my favourite songs from it.

Truth And Lies
Introduction This was inspired by an Instagram post I stole that said: Then I thought about songs in my collection about truth and lies. I have lied a few times to get jobs, although I did have the confidence to know that I would be up to speed in a few days in the position, although I have been responsible for seeing some who had lied about their ability and then not able to do the job, out of the door.

Divorce - Drive to Goldenhammer - Album Review
I've been planning to review more music since the reviews I posted of Franz Ferdinand's The Human Fear and Mogwai's The Bad Fire. I loved the new album from Squid called Cowards—it's odd, and dark in context but with really interesting bright-sounding noises and strange lyrics. Very proggy too. I also love the new Japanese Breakfast album and the new Courting album. For today's review though, I wanted to talk about Divorce's debut album Drive to Goldenhammer.

The Importance of Music Education in Promoting Happiness
Music is an amazing gift. It has power to change the mood. It is a universal experience that forms and shapes our worlds. Everything is orchestrated in harmony with a crescendo that fills our lives with rhythm, variety, expression, color, melody, harmony, and structure. It nourishes our hearts and souls. Let’s discuss with Richard Hovan in this blog.

The Role Of Music In Stress reduction
Stress is a complex condition that can affect every aspect of our lives. The way we think, feel, and interact with others. Stress is the leading cause of illness today and is responsible for a significant percentage of all doctor's visits. Reading a graph of psychological diagnoses over time creates a chilling realization that conditions of stress, anxiety, and depression have been on an exponential rise for the past 50 years. Research shows that depression will be the leading cause of disability worldwide. Richard Hovan says health is wealth and it's our responsibility to maintain our health. To maintain our health we can take the help of music.
