Cause Song of the Month:

ARIANA GRANDE "No Tears Left To Cry," 2018

"No Tears Left To Cry," Ariana Grande's first new song in two years is all about "pickin' it up" and being positive. Grande can be forgiven if she needed time to reach this place. In May 2017 a suicide bomber in Manchester, England attacked Grande's fans as one of her concerts was letting out, resulting in 23 deaths and more than 500 injuries. In the aftermath, Grande performed one benefit concert then suspended her tour. After participating in the pro-gun control March For Our Lives last month, Grande released "No Tears Left To Cry" to showcase her new direction. Featuring lines like "I'm lovin', I'm livin', I'm pickin' it up" and "I just want you to come with me" the shows Grande moving on. Which could be a lesson for all of us. Buy it here. — Aaron Brophy

Charity Song of the Month:

TOM COCHRANE "Big League (For Humboldt)," 2018

When the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team's tragic bus crash in rural Saskatchewan left 16 players and support staff dead on April 6 it struck close to home for Canadian musician Tom Cochrane. In 1988 Cochrane scored a massive rock hit with "Big League," a song written from the perspective of a grieving parent of a promising hockey player who lost their son in a highway car crash. Now Cochrane has re-recorded the song as "Big League (For Humboldt)" as a tribute to those who lost their lives. Universal Music says proceeds from the song will go to the Humboldt Strong Community Foundation, which has been set up to support the victims of the crash. Buy it here. — Aaron Brophy
