SPOTIFY VS YOUTUBE MUSIC

  


 In context of a modern era, no doubt that most of us listens to music all the time no matter what situation we are in. It may be when we are waiting for our coffee in a cafe or waiting for your train to arrive or in many more occasions. The thing is there are 2 platforms that we can use to listen to our favourite songs. The two options are Spotify and YouTube Music. Well, it is quite difficult for us to choose and there will be a debate about it for everyone. I think this is the time I will put things into perspective in my own opinion about those 2 music platforms. 

    We all know that Spotify has been with us since 2008 and the name of the great founders are Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon. I must say that I am very thankful for these 2 people for creating such a wonderful app. You could find every sort of original music within this app without any trouble. Now then we have YouTube Music which exist no so long time ago, 2015 with the great CEO of YouTube is the key of this platform and of course with the help of his T. Jay Fowler and Lyor Cohen. 

    Okay so here's the thing about these 2 platforms is both of them need to be subscribed in order for you to enjoy listening to your favourite music without interrupting but there are differences between the two of it. Using YouTube Music is great but before you could enjoy your songs, you will hear tons of ads at the beginning of the playlist. Just imagine every playlist you click will have at least 2 to 3 ads before you could listen to the actual songs. 

    Although with that kind of troublesome you will be facing, you can still choose what kind of songs you want to listen to unlike Spotify. I'm not telling that YouTube is better than Spotify. When it comes to ads, Spotify will only interrupt you for only around 30 second and leave you along for an hour. Can you imagine that? One hour of heaven without buying its premium account. The only thing I dislike about not having a premium account is you couldn.t choose what song to play, which means it plays randomly for you. Some might like it but some might not. 

    Not to forget mentioning about Spotify giving discounts for every college's student. Seriously, who wouldn't want that? Me myself as a college's student has claimed it and put it on a good use, so why don't you use it if you're a student? If I have to choose between these 2 platforms, I will be forever choosing Spotify over YouTube Music. This are just some of my opinions, I wouldn't mind if there are people arguing about this since it is their thoughts and opinion about it.

SCARS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL by ALESSIA CARA


 Alessia Cara is a 26-year-old Canadian singer whose songs include inspirational meanings for all young women, particularly her hit song "Scars to Your Beautiful". This song is a breath of fresh air for women in a world where social media and the expectations that come with it are creeping into the minds of young women everywhere. Alessia Cara's debut track, "Scars to Your Beautiful", has taken her youthful anguish and directed it towards a positive message. The singer-songwriter delves into body image concerns, declaring, "You don't have to change a thing, The world can change it's hearts".

    The second stanza, in which she sung about a girl having aspirations and starving herself, is the most memorable part of this song. That part she sang where a girl claims that beauty is agony and that there is beauty in everything, so what's a little bit hunger? Very profound stuff here, and it's done wonderfully thanks to the well-written lyrics and Cara's singing. I feel shivers every time I listen on that part of the song. I keep replaying it because it is so realistic and real-life for far too many young kids.

    Many people struggle with their weight and body shape, which must be addressed. Personally, I don't care is someone is curvaceous, slim, has a bit more or less weight on them, hence, all I care about is whether or not you are a great human being, which is what everyone should consider. There are lines "She don't see her perfect, she don't understand she's worth it. Or the beauty goes deeper than the surface."  The continuance of many people's ideas is that you are only attractive if you can see it on the outside. "I never determine if someone are attractive when I first meet them," a friend once said, "because as you get to know them, you truly see exactly how wonderful they are." Even it is tough to attain and maintain, I feel that it is essential in being nice to others. 

    Grateful to, Alessia Cara, for creating this incredible song and empowering hundreds of millions of young ladies all around the worlds to be themselves no matter what. So, lovely people, go out there and change the world. There isn't much more to say about Scars To Your Lovely, and while it may not be a massive smash, Alessia Cara has something unique with this song, which I'm sure will touch home for many people and will go down as one of the year's best releases.
