Listen to everything i wanted by Billie Eilish.
We all know Eilish for her darker, whisper-singing style of music, but there’s another side of her that most of us have barely heard. Her soft voice turns serious and slightly sad in this song as she recounts the way fame has affected the way she lives her life. The way the song is constructed still feels familiar, but the lyrics will definitely reveal a vulnerable side to Eilish.

Watch Nailed It.
It’s fun to watch culinary shows where everyone is a perfect book, but it’s even more fun when none of the cooks really know what they’re doing. This show challenges people who have repeatedly failed at baking to recreate complicated and beautiful desserts, all in good humor. The winner is the person who…is the least bad. If anything, it’ll at least put a smile on your face.
