Soul Music: The Essence of What Makes a Song Uplifting
A definition or a description of 'soul' is impossible, but the attempts of our poets and composers, seem more successful than those of our scientists and philosophers. Virginia Woolf wrote in her story 'A Summing Up' that '[Sasha] was conscious of a movement within her of some creature beating ... about her and trying to escape which she called the soul.' Perhaps we can do no better than that.

Would This GH Alum Make the Perfect Summer Newman? See What Y&R Fans Think
Sofia Mattsson is out from her role at General Hospital. Fans of The Young and the Restless would love to see her recast in the role of Summer Newman. Find out why they think she'd be perfect for the gig, aside from her similar good looks. Meet The New Summer Newman? Over on Reddit, one Y&R fan shared a headshot of Mattsson along with the question, 'With Sofia Mattsson leaving GH, do you think she would make a good Summer Newman?' She kind of looks like Lanier, who previously held the role. Lanier left the CBS soap in early May. Fans took to the thread to share their thoughts. READ NOW: Learn more about the General Hospital casting shocker. Most are on board with the idea. They would love to see a new Summer, who's all grown up. One fan wrote, 'She'd be the most adult of the Summers so far. I think she'd knock it out of the park and be amazing.' However, that same fan added, 'The thing is – I LOVED her as Sasha. She had grown to be one of my favourite characters on that show. She'd be great as Summer – but I hope she returns at some point as Sasha again.' Other GH fans are mourning Sasha's death. One blunt Redditor commented, 'I'm pissed that she's leaving the show. She's one of the only characters I actually like.' A third fan remarked, 'Wow, visually she would be a seamless recast,' to which another added, 'I would love for her to take in the role of Summer Newman!!! She's a doll!!' Whole New Role? As previously stated, not all fans love this idea. One fan wrote, 'No, she deserves to be on a better show.' Meanwhile, another user noted, 'If she goes to Y&R, it should be in a new role and not a recast of Summer.' One fan remarked, 'She looks too old to be Summer,' to which another corrected them, 'She's actually younger than last Summer, lol.' READ NEXT: Allison Lanier out as Summer Newman on Y&R. Another plus is that Mattsson has already acted with Michelle Stafford when she was on GH. Fans already know these two have chemistry. It would be fun to see Mattsson and Stafford as mother and daughter on Y&R. Hopefully, the show will consider this idea even if a recast isn't on the radar right now. What are your thoughts? Do you think Mattsson would make the perfect Summer? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section. Solve the daily Crossword

The couple - who tied the knot in 2024 - wrote on the photo-sharing platform: "Rocky77 has arrived!

As Sasha appeared on stage, Steve told the crowd: "This is a special moment. This is my wife, and we're having a baby." The DJ also revealed the gender of their unborn baby by smashing his face into a cake with blue icing. The cake had the word "AOKI" written on it in blue and pink icing, and a message appeared on a big screen behind Steve and Sasha that confirmed their baby's gender. The message simply read: "It's A Boy!" Steve - who shared a passionate on-stage kiss with his wife - then shouted: "We're having a boy!" The music star - who is one of the world's best-known DJs - is famed for throwing cakes at fans during his shows.
