 There are songs that enter the collective memory through their soft, melancholic melodies—almost like a lullaby—without many noticing the devastating weight of their lyrics. This is precisely the case with "Suicide Is Painless", the theme song for the movie M*A*S*H (1970) and its subsequent television adaptation. Behind its acoustic guitar and 1970s folk atmosphere lies a story packed with satire, implicit protest, and a curious family anecdote that ended in unexpected financial success. A Comedy About Korea Speaking to VietnamAlthough M*A*S*H is officially set in a mobile army surgical hospital during the Korean War (1950–1953), to the 1970 audience, the message was unmistakable: the film spoke directly to the Vietnam War.In the late 1960s and early 1970s, U.S. involvement in Vietnam reached its most critical point. Public discontent grew daily, fueled by mass conscription, the loss of thousands of lives, and television coverage that brought the horrors of conflict straight into peop

Hi everyone,I wanted to share a feature idea that could make the listening experience on Deezer even more engaging, especially for users who enjoy interactive content alongside music.What if Deezer introduced a light, in-app word game feature, similar to puzzle-style games like Letter Boxed, where users could play quick word challenges while listening to music? For example:Daily word puzzles themed around song titles or artist names Challenges where you connect letters to form words inspired by lyrics Leaderboards or streaks tied to listening habitsI think this could be a fun way to combine music discovery with gameplay, especially for users who enjoy both puzzles and playlists. It might also help with engagement by giving users something interactive to do while listening.Of course, it would need to stay simple and optional so it doesn’t distract from the core music experience.What do others think?Would you enjoy a small word game feature inside Deezer? Any ideas on how it could connec

 Although salsa has its true roots in Cuban son and completely exploded in New York’s Spanish Harlem, Puerto Rico added the secret touch: that countryside soul brought right into the heart of the city. Puerto Ricans infused it with bomba, plena, the Puerto Rican cuatro, and that spicy seasoning that defines legendary orchestras like El Gran Combo, La Sonora Ponceña, or the golden era of Fania with Héctor Lavoe, Willie Colón, and Cheo Feliciano.But through all this, how does a salsa track actually work? Because this isn't just about grabbing instruments and playing blindly; there’s a super clear roadmap holding all that tasty rhythm together.The Structure of SalsaAnatomy of a Great PartyIf you sit down to analyze a traditional salsa track, you'll notice it splits into several key parts.

That musical dramedy about Irish kids who form a soul band brought him a certain degree of fame, which, as he himself admitte
