Classic Western songs that soothe the soul
Why not, for once, stop thinking and just let yourself sink into some good music?
In our daily lives, stress tends to build up in ways we don’t even notice.
When that happens, relax your mind by listening to music that’s a little different from your usual.
It’s great in the bath, or before bed in your bedroom—but the top recommendation is to play it while you’re lazily spending a day off.
That’s the best.
When you find a song you like, try it out in all sorts of moments.

Classic Western songs that soothe the soul (61–70)
YellowColdplay
Coldplay also released this song and their first album in 2000, joining the ranks of global artists/bands.
Compared to their recent songs, these earlier ones are simpler but have strong melodies, so many people prefer this era.
I’m one of them.
Between The SheetsIsley Brothers
Even within the funk genre, the musical range is very wide.
It spans from classic funk with tight rhythms and strong grooves to ballad styles, making it hard to lump together.
The Isley Brothers are also known for their soulful harmonies, which makes them easy to listen to.
All I Want For Christmas Is YouMariah Carey
It might end up being limited to the Christmas season, but Mariah Carey’s Christmas song—known in Japanese as “Koibitotachi no Christmas” (All I Want for Christmas Is You)—is also a great one to hype up a karaoke session.
It does require some vocal skill, but it’s so well-known in Japan that there’s always someone who can sing it.
Oh, Pretty WomanRoy Orbison
I think many people rediscovered this song through movies, like Stand by Me.
That’s how big of a hit the film Pretty Woman was, and this song definitely contributed to its popularity.
It’s a love song that women are sure to love.
I Knew I Loved YouSavage Garden
Although they have since disbanded, they were a rare Australian band that achieved massive worldwide success.
The year 2000 was truly a turning point for them, a year in which they were remarkably active.
Even now, this song doesn’t feel dated.
Eternal FlameThe Bangles
A song written by lead singer Susanna Hoffs together with songwriters Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly.
It features a lullaby-like, simple and pure melody.
It was covered by Atomic Kitten in 2001 and used in the film The Parole Officer.
