Yami (dark) Western music song ranking [2025] (61–70)
Heal the worldMichael Jackson64rank/position
Among Michael Jackson’s songs, this one is relatively easy to catch and has a relaxed melody, so it’s easy to remember and a good song.
Even junior high school students should be able to understand it well.
The chorus is especially easy to remember, so it’s recommended for singing.
TroublemakerOlly Murs ft. Flo Rida65rank/position
In this upbeat, catchy song, he sings about calling the girl who stirs up his heart a troublemaker.
Of course, that’s really his feelings in reverse, but that kind of twisted, can’t-look-at-things-straight-on attitude is pretty common in love, isn’t it? Don’t you middle schoolers have a lot of moments like that too?
LoveLana Del Rey66rank/position
This is a song by Lana Del Rey, a singer-songwriter from New York, USA.
It’s included on her 2017 album, Lust for Life.
The grand sound is beautiful—like an autumn breeze sweeping through.
It carries a message of cherishing the one you love.
I recommend it to anyone who’s in love right now.
Wake me up when September endsGreen Day67rank/position
The band Green Day, who sing this song, are from the United States, and the lyrics include the word “September.” In America, September marks the start of a new school year, and the music video for this song somehow evokes memories of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
There are various ways to interpret it, but the song’s content is about a boy’s feelings for his deceased father.
Skinny LoveBirdy68rank/position
A teenage girl is covering a classic Bon Iver song.
The dry piano tones and her clear voice soothe a dark, sunken heart.
We tend to choose dark songs when we’re feeling low, but I think gentle songs that don’t interfere with that gloom—like a friend who stays by your side—are nice too.
DreamsFleetwood Mac69rank/position
A track released in 1977 by the rock band Fleetwood Mac.
It reached No.
1 on the charts in the United States and Canada.
It has been covered by artists such as Wild Colour and The Corrs, and was sampled in Soul Clap’s 2009 track of the same name.
Lost BoyRuth B70rank/position
Ruth B, a female artist from Canada, is a powerhouse singer who has been drawing attention and receiving high praise both at home and abroad.
Among her works, the “yami” (melancholic) song I especially recommend is Lost Boy.
It’s built around a quiet, piano-driven melody, and some listeners might feel a vibe similar to Billie Eilish in certain phrases.
While it’s a dark track, it’s not overly gloomy, making it a good pick for those who are feeling just a little down.
