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.

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.

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.”

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.
