Art is literally anything and everything that happens in life. It’s not some opportunity you get to express yourself in, not some magic wand you unlock after reaching a certain point in your life; it’s literally like your binoculars for seeing life as it comes. Some rejoice in its glories, while some treat it as their liability. In this thoughtful line-up of Glamorous Grooves, we’ve created a list of songs that glamourize their felt emotion, memories, and events in the most blissful manner possible.
