Classic Western songs that soothe the soul (41–50)
I’m YoursJason Mraz
I first encountered this song when a teacher I was close to, who ended up leaving the school, recommended it to me.
Back then, I listened to it all the time.
The visuals are set in summer, but the lyrics aren’t like that at all—it’s a song filled with love that feels healing.
Many years have passed since then, but I still listen to it even now.
Dancing QueenABBA
A song released in 1976 by the Swedish vocal group ABBA.
It topped both the U.
S.
and U.
K.
charts, spending six consecutive weeks at number one in the U.
K.
and finishing fourth on the year-end chart there.
A massive hit, it reached number one in 13 countries worldwide.
I’m SorryAli Gatie
A bittersweet yet beautiful song by Canadian singer-songwriter Ali Gatie.
Feelings of regret and a plea for forgiveness toward a loved one are woven together with a melody that resonates deeply.
Released in January 2024, this three-and-a-half-minute gem exquisitely blends pop and R&B.
Gentle guitar tones and Ali’s sweet vocals express the earnest desire to win back a lost love.
It’s recommended not only for those struggling with romance but also for anyone looking to strengthen their bond with someone special.
Perfect for listening alone on a quiet night or together with someone you care about—this is a song that’s sure to stay close to your heart.
Heart Of GlassBlondie
It’s a pop number with a disco groove by the American new wave band Blondie.
It was used in a Toyota commercial, and it’s a song that hasn’t lost its shine since the ’70s.
As the title suggests, it’s about a woman’s feelings with a “heart of glass.” It’s a track that’s sure to put you in a good mood when you listen to it.
LighthouseCalum Scott
A track distinguished by a beautiful, soul-stirring melody.
Many listeners likely still remember the crystal-clear voice of Callum Scott, the singer from the UK.
Titled “a light in the distance,” this song is his latest single, released in January 2024, and is expected to be included on his upcoming album following Only Human.
It’s also slated to be performed on Ed Sheeran’s stadium tour.
For those in long-distance relationships in particular, it may renew the resolve to “keep a lighthouse burning in your heart so you can always remember the one you love.”
Let’s Twist AgainChubby Checker
When you talk about rock as a genre, the question becomes: who was the original? At first I thought it was the Beatles, but I learned you can go back even further, and ultimately it comes down to Chuck Berry.
He’s the originator of today’s guitar rock, hard rock, and heavy metal.
My Heart Will Go OnCéline Dion
The theme song of the blockbuster film Titanic.
It was a worldwide hit that won numerous awards, including the 1997 Academy Award for Best Original Song! In Japan, it reached No.
34 on the Oricon chart and topped the international music category.
Influenced by this song, many film studios went on to create tracks based on tragic love ballads.
