Recommended Western music for men in their 50s: World classics and popular songs (81–90)
As I AmBilly Joel
Among Billy Joel’s many hit songs, this one has a gentle, mellow tone.
He wrote it for his wife at the time, and I’d love to see married men in their 50s dedicate it to their wives.
The chorus line, “I’ll take you just the way you are,” will surely make any wife swoon when she hears it.
Wonderful TonightEric Clapton
“You look wonderful tonight.” Japanese men are often too shy to say it, but even a simple line like this will make a woman fall head over heels.
Eric Clapton’s rugged voice really gives off that “sexy middle-aged man” vibe, and it’s great.
Kiss on My ListDaryl Hall & John Oates
Daryl Hall & John Oates have a lot of hit songs, but this one makes you want to hum along to the chorus.
“Your kiss is on my list” means that your kiss is on my list, but when translated into Japanese it ends up sounding a bit formal.
Believe in LoveHuey Lewis & The News
Huey Lewis’s voice is very husky and gives off a sexy vibe, but thanks to the harmonies from the other members and the song’s upbeat feel, it naturally makes you feel happy as you listen.
You might even find yourself humming along without thinking.
Your smileJames Taylor
“Whenever I see your smiling face I have to smile myself — 君の笑顔を見るたびに、僕も笑ってしまう.” That opening phrase gives lyrics that seem to convey a man's kindness.
It is followed by “Because I live you,” and doesn’t it feel like that phrase could be used somewhere?
Dance With MeOrleans
As the title “Dance with me” suggests, it means “please dance with me.” The acoustic guitar-driven sound gives the song a somewhat nostalgic, calming feel.
It’s a recommended track for fans of folk music.

Glory of LovePeter Cetera
This song was featured in the movie The Karate Kid Part II, so the music video includes many scenes from the film.
The line in the lyrics, “I’ll be the hero that you’re dreaming of,” is really cool, isn’t it? Don’t women always wish for men to be strong?
