    INSPIRE ::: The Beauty of Music

    What I love about music isn’t the fact that it makes pre-drinking a lot more fun, or that it eases awkward situations and creates noise in an otherwise silent situation…no, it’s the fact that it brings people together so effortlessly. Regardless of whether you like a piece of music or really detest it, I guarantee you that a connection can be formed over an opinion of a song or what you think of a certain band. From first hand experience, [...]

    INSPIRE ::: Dave Grohl at SXSW

    If this isn’t enough wisdom in one post I don’t know what is, especially when its delivered by one of the music worlds legends. Top 5 Ways to a Better Life According to Dave Grohl (An interpretation of his Keynote speech at SXSW last week in Austin,TX) 1. No one is you and that is your biggest power. “It’s YOUR VOICE.

    INSPIRE ::: Religion & Music – Are They Really That Different?

    INSPIRE ::: ‘Here Comes the Sun’ ::: Matt Woods, Josh Barry, Tom Prior, MckNasty

    I never thought there’d be four people to change the face of music as much as John, Paul, George and Ringo did. The Beatles created something amazing, the original foundations for which musicians could build themselves upon, a guide entitled ‘How to Change Music (and the World While You’re At It)’. They set out pathways for artists to follow and they led the way for musicians who wanted to break away from the status quo. The Beatles influence on music [...]

    INSPIRE ::: WHAT THE SECURITY CAMERAS SAW

    In an age where Big Brother rules us, it’s videos like these that make us step back and realise that we are not all bad. CCTV doesn’t just have to be used to stop criminals and people doing things wrong. They capture moments in time that money can’t buy. Moments that touch your heart and make you realise, you know what? We’re not all that bad. Watching this left a smile on my face that didn’t clear for hours. Share [...]
