Englishman In New YorkSting
Sting’s 1987 album Nothing Like the Sun includes the song Englishman in New York.
While it wasn’t a major hit at the time, it is now regarded as a classic.
Sting has stated that the “Englishman” in the lyrics was modeled on Quentin Crisp, who publicly came out as gay.
In New York at the time, discrimination against gay people like him was still strong.
The lyrics convey messages about loneliness and about getting through life with dignity and courtesy.
Bitter Sweet SymphonyThe Verve
It’s the biggest smash hit by the British rock band The Verve—arguably one of the defining songs of the ’90s.
Blending classical orchestral sounds with looped elements, it’s a rhythmic track whose vocals also carry a distinctly British vibe.
Can’t Be TamedMiley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus is an American actress and singer, and she has said that this song expresses her desire to freely be herself.
Marking a shift from her previous teen-oriented music, the song’s more mature vibe and aggressive lyrics reflect her wish to break free from the idol image expected of her.
Shut Up!Simple Plan
This is a feel-good track by the pop punk rock band Simple Plan.
The straightforward, super catchy pop melody makes it really easy to get into.
It’s a great song for when you want to boost your mood, and it would be perfect for a drive, too.
