<h6 style="text-align:center;"><em>“I’ve been listening to David Guetta’s new album 7 nonstop but one song that keeps coming up over and over is “Battle” ft Faouzia. I keep hearing the lyrics and they’re very powerful. I believe she’s talking about God, and how she fights through the battle of this world to get to Him. The lyrics are so encouraging, and remind me to always fight the battle of life and for truth, and what’s important. We don’t hide from the truth. That&#8217;s what this song says to me.”</em><br />

<h6 style="text-align:center;">&#8220;As It Is have been one of my all-time favourite bands for years now, and this new album only proves why. This song in particular is one that I really relate to, in the way that it talks about pain and how people sometimes take it out on themselves, while also understanding that it&#8217;s hard to suffer in silence and not feel like you&#8217;re alone. But the song also holds a tender note of hope, with the lyrics &#8220;it&#8217;s gotta get better&#8221; encompassing that desperate plea that many of us have gripped onto in our darkest moments.”<br />

<h6 style="text-align:center;">â¨â¨“I’ve been listening to the banger, “Lucky Strike,” by Troye Sivan on repeat! There is such romanticism in the imagery of the cigarette hook: “Cause you taste like Lucky Strikes, you drag, I light, boy.” It’s really empowering to see a gay artist doing so well in the industry.”<br />

<h6 style="text-align:center;">&#8220;A song i&#8217;ve been listening to a lot lately has been Radiohead&#8217;s &#8220;RECKONER&#8221; from their IN RAINBOWS record. this track has helped me get calm when i feel overwhelmed and anxious, and also inspires me to do my next indicated step if i feel lazy or depressed and want to isolate. the lyrics for me are abstract, the music is complex and beautiful and every note, sung and strung, is soothing &#8211; affecting me in a way great art promises.&#8221;</h6>
