[2025] Great Lyrics! A Collection of Soothing Western Music Classics

music writerKOH-1
Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and have been contributing to music magazines and web media for over 15 years. Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!

In the whirlwind of our daily lives, many of us find strength and comfort in music from time to time.

What feels healing varies by listener, of course, but in this article we’ve gathered classic English-language songs—mainly ballads and slower tracks—that we hope you’ll focus on not only for their soothing sound but also for their powerful messages and heartfelt lyrics.

We’ve selected many recent hits and standout tracks, so this is also recommended if you’re looking for healing songs from the past few years.

We hope you’ll listen to these wonderful classics and let them soothe your soul!

The Only ExceptionParamore

Paramore: The Only Exception [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

The Only ExceptionParamore

It’s a 2010 release by the American rock band Paramore.

While Paramore has many energetic, explosive songs, this one is slower in tempo compared to their other tracks, and the lyrics begin by looking back on childhood, gradually expressing what’s in the heart.

Its flowing sound and deeply meaningful lyrics make you want to close your eyes and listen intently.

Let Me Go ft. Chad KroegerAvril Lavigne

Avril Lavigne – Let Me Go (Official Video) ft. Chad Kroeger

Let Me Go ft. Chad KroegerAvril Lavigne

This is a song that generated a lot of buzz in 2013 when Avril Lavigne collaborated with her then-husband, Chad Kroeger.

Against the resonant sound of the piano, their powerful yet tender vocals leave a strong impression.

Even those who have experienced heartbreak may find hope in the idea, reflected in the lyrics, that a new story is beginning.
