Classic Western songs to listen to at night

Good NightThe Beatles

The Beatles – Good Night (2009 Stereo Remaster)

This is a song included on the Beatles’ double album The Beatles, commonly known as the White Album, released in 1968.

The vocals on this track are by Ringo Starr.

Although he sang lead on very few Beatles songs, this is one of them.

With its beautiful orchestral arrangement, it feels like something that could play over the final scene of a film from Hollywood’s golden age.

HumanThe Human League

The Human League – Human

Included on the 1986 album “Crash.” A three-piece synth-pop band from the UK formed in 1977.

The song’s appeal lies in its beautiful use of space—melodies that make effective use of an airy, almost hollow atmosphere—set against a mid-tempo progression with a slightly hard-edged rhythm.

I think that works well.

My Ever Changing Moods(Piano Version）The Style Council

The Style Council – My Ever Changing Moods (Piano Version)

The Style Council was a band active in the UK during the 1980s.

Formed around Paul Weller, a former member of the punk band The Jam, they gained fans around the world with their rich musicality.

There are several versions of My Ever Changing Moods.

The most famous is the upbeat single cut, but if you’re looking for something to listen to at night, the piano version included on the 1984 album Café Bleu is unquestionably the one.

Tom Traubert’s Blues (Four Sheets to the Wind in Copenhagen)Tom Waits

Tom Waits – Tom Traubert’s Blues (Four Sheets to the Wind in Copenhagen)

“Tom Traubert’s Blues” is a song by American singer-songwriter Tom Waits, featured as the opening track on his 1976 album Small Change.

Debuting in 1973, Waits earned the nickname “the drunken poet” for his distinctive raspy voice and unique phrasing.

The characters who appear in his songs are mostly nameless, ordinary people.

In this work as well, you can hear a uniquely flavorful song that gazes warmly and gently at such down-and-out folks.

As time goes byTony Bennett

Tony Bennett – As time goes by

Tony Bennett is a singer from the United States.

Alongside Frank Sinatra, he is a leading figure in show business and remains active on the front lines today.

On his 1970s album, The Great American Songbook—which features only American standards—you can hear As Time Goes By, the insert song from the film Casablanca.

Greatest Love Of AllWhitney Houston

Whitney Houston – Greatest Love Of All (Official 4K Video)

Included on the 1985 album “Whitney Houston.” Born in 1963, a singer and actress from New Jersey.

Carried by a slow tempo with a gently flowing rhythm and a mellow, heartfelt melody line, her soulful vocals still pierce straight to the heart even now.

She was truly extraordinary.

Men In BlackWill Smith

Will Smith – Men In Black (Video Version)

This is a famous track by Will Smith that gained popularity for its stylish, danceable sound, built around a sample of Patrice Rushen’s classic, and for being used as a movie theme song.

While also a popular actor, Smith’s high level of musicianship conveys the appeal of Black music, making this a song you’ll want to listen to at night.
