I think it’s hard to catch the lyrics of songs in English.

With this song, “Circles,” many people might feel it sounds bright if they just listen to the melody.

The vibe is upbeat, but in fact it’s a song about losing someone important.

Please give it a listen.

Stay With MeSam Smith

Sam Smith’s biggest hit, “Stay With Me.” It’s quite a famous song, so many of you may already know it.

First of all, the melody is heartbreaking.

I recommend it to anyone looking for a deeply emotional tearjerker that distills sadness.

And if you read the lyrics, you might cry even more.

For those who want to listen to a tear-jerker but aren’t into songs that feel too heavy, Crying My Eyes Out is highly recommended.

The lyrics are crafted to be sad, but the melody is an easy-to-listen-to, electro-infused pop sound.

I’ll Be Over YouTOTO

Toto – I’ll Be Over You

This is a song that drew a lot of attention as a ballad by a band famous for rock.

With its slow tempo and gentle mood far removed from rock, the melody makes it a very calming listen.

The music video, set against a sunset backdrop, also matches the impression of the song.

This is a song by The Beatles that was very popular around the world.

Since it’s a ballad like a love song, I think it’s a piece whose expression changes depending on the listener.

A magnificent song that brings to mind the clear blue skies of autumn.
