"Ordinary Things" was always meant to be the album's final song. Kevin Mazur/AMA2016/WireImage"I knew 'Ordinary Things' was the end of the album," Grande told Lowe. "But I wonder, how I can put that button on it and have it land emotionally the way that I feel it can? Grande found the answer in the middle of a 40-minute voice recording of her grandmother, Marjorie Grande, whom she calls "Nonna." Grande and Nonna are both credited as lyricists, while Grande is also credited as a coproducer alongside Martin, Luka Kloser, and Nick Lee.

Ariana Grande's new album "Eternal Sunshine" ends with a personal ballad called "Ordinary Things." AdvertisementIf Ariana Grande's new album "Eternal Sunshine" has a moral, it won't be found on the club-ready lead single "Yes, and?" It's the most intimate moment on Grande's seventh album, "Eternal Sunshine," released Friday, and it all came together with the help of Nick Lee. Lee, who is credited as a coproducer on "Ordinary Things," made the song's original beat with his friend Luka Kloser. "Intro (End of the World)" and "Ordinary Things" frame the album as a sacred quest to find peace and romantic clarity.

Creditnews Research, an independent research house, released its new ranking of the fastest-selling housing markets in the U.S. To do a pre-Covid versus 2024 comparison, the study used metrics from January 2020 to January 2024. Five of the top 10 fastest-selling metros were also among the top areas that lost the most per-capita housing inventory since the beginning of the pandemic. Florida had one of the strongest housing markets during the pandemic, according to CNBC's America's Top States for Business ranking, but not a single city in the state ranked in Creditnews Research's top 10. It's a signal that the housing market in the Sunshine State isn't what it used to be.

Read previewSome fans of Ariana Grande are calling out Big Sean and Jhené Aiko following the release of her new album, "Eternal Sunshine." Grande admonished her fans in an Instagram Stories post on Saturday, just one day after the album hit streaming sites. "Eternal Sunshine" is Grande's seventh album and her first one since 2020, prompting substantial fanfare from her fans. Business Insider's Callie Ahlgrim reported that the album's name derives from Michel Gondry's 2004 film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." Big Sean has been romantically linked to both women — and Grande's album shares the same name as a song from Aiko's 2014 album, "Souled Out."

However, Grande did "Eternal Sunshine" a disservice with its title and marketing. But asked if she planned to "address things" with "Eternal Sunshine," Grande demurred. Sure, you could say that Grande doesn't owe us honesty or specificity, and you might be right. As a staunch believer in the album as an art form, "Eternal Sunshine" left me wanting. But if I reframe "Eternal Sunshine" as a collection of excellent pop songs, I have very few complaints.

An hour of the day will be unceremoniously snatched away on Sunday as we “spring forward” to daylight saving time. Last year, my research team showed that standard time leads to far more vehicles colliding with deer. Vehicle strikes already kill millions of wild animals each year, and collisions with deer are the best documented because they are so common and damaging. But traffic volumes are higher in the evening, and it’s hard for us to see things in the dark. The hour-earlier sunset that comes with standard time is thus an expensive, traumatic way to control the deer population.

A boomer and her husband moved to southwest Florida from Minnesota to start her clothing business. They moved to southern Minnesota, then northern Minnesota to an off-the-grid cabin an hour north of Duluth. They knew northern Minnesota was not conducive to starting a business, so they considered Florida an ideal location. She said she's also adjusting to the fishing scene in Florida, which is mainly saltwater, compared to freshwater fishing in Minnesota. Despite all she's been through, Pelton thinks she'll stay in Florida for the time being — the only other place she's considering is India.

Her father, the director Roberto Rossellini, was a giant of Italian cinema.
