Are you happy in this modern world?

Is there somethin' else you're searchin' for?

[Refrain: Bradley Cooper]
I'm fallin'
In all the good times
I find myself longin' for change
And in the bad times I fear myself Read more about Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper - Shallow (A Star Is Born)

Mobility Exercise Routines

Short hamstrings and even short calves can contribute to intermittent back pain and stiffness, as a shortened posterior chain creates a constant downward pull on the pelvis, predisposing the tissues that surround the spine to sprains and strains.

Grace | Rag'N'Bone Man

Music

Said I loved you without hesitation
So easy for you to break my foolish heart
Now I wonder if you ever speak my name
Will I always be defined by my mistakes?

We're all trying to find a way
At the death of every darkness there's a morning
Though we all try
We all try
We're all one step from grace Read more about Grace | Rag'N'Bone Man
