Look At Me NowCharlie Puth
Released in 2013, “Look At Me Now” is a song that perfectly fits its title—one that lifts you up in both love and everyday life.
It transforms the awkwardness and difficulty of expressing yourself, feelings unique to youth, into a sense of being true to yourself.
It’s recommended for anyone who wants to become a different version of themselves now that the fun of summer is over.
Loose Life (not so bad)DA PUMP
A little-known track that completely refreshes DA PUMP’s rhythmic image.
Its slightly downbeat lyrics and sound leave a strong impression.
It’s about recalling a friend who was a totally different type from you—someone you found hard to accept back in your school days—now that you’re an adult in the working world.
I bet many people can actually relate to those cynical lyrics.
It also stirs a kind of nostalgia for the child you once were.
It’s the kind of song you’ll want to listen to over a drink, quietly reflecting on how much you’ve grown up.
Louisiana BluesFLOWER TRAVELLIN’ BAND
Released in 1970, this song is included on Flower Travellin’ Band’s debut album “Anywhere.” Because it appears as the second track—following the introductory guitar piece—it is often regarded as their debut song.
