It has been covered by artists such as Rose Tattoo and Hinder, and sampled in MC Shan’s 1988 track of the same name.
StarlightTaylor Swift
Taylor Swift is famous for making music based on her own romantic experiences, but this song was reportedly written after she happened to come across an old photo of the Kennedys as a young couple dancing, and imagined how wonderful that night must have been.
Evoking images of gazing up at a starry sky, this track is perfect for a romantic nighttime drive with your partner.
Eye in the SkyThe Alan Parsons Project
It is a signature song by the British rock band The Alan Parsons Project.
The band originated when Alan Parsons, a staff musician at the famed Abbey Road Studios known for recording works by The Beatles, formed a group to create an album inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
Top of the WorldCarpenters
It’s a song that’s familiar even from English textbooks.
The Carpenters are a brother–sister duo, Richard and Karen.
Karen originally was a drummer and disliked being in the spotlight, but her singing talent was discovered and she rose to fame.
However, perhaps due to stress, she developed anorexia and passed away at a young age.
Start Me UpThe Rolling Stones
It’s one of the Rolling Stones’ signature songs.
They debuted in the ’60s, and even now, well into their seventies, they’re still going strong and performing live—true legends of the rock world.
Check out their razor-sharp live shows on video sites; you won’t believe they’re grandpas.
Where The Streets Have No NameU2
A track released by U2 in 1987.
Brian Eno was involved in the production and plays the organ intro.
It reached No.
1 on the charts in Ireland and New Zealand.
It was sampled in Harmonix’s 1996 track “Landslide.”
Sports carTate McRae
Tate McRae’s new track delivers a thrilling rush just by listening.
It blends her signature Canadian electro-pop sound with an artful dose of early-2000s pop sensibility for a sleek finish.
The lyrics depict the intensity and risks of modern relationships, cleverly using a “sports car” as a metaphor for love and passion.
The chorus, featuring breathy whisper vocals, is irresistibly catchy and easy to hum along to.
Set to appear on the album “So Close to What,” scheduled for release in February 2025, this song is perfect for a drive with your partner or for getting hyped with friends on a night out at the club.
