Foreign music BGM to listen to at night: recommended classics and popular songs

Good NightThe Beatles

The Beatles – Good Night (2009 Stereo Remaster)

This is a song included on the Beatles’ double album The Beatles, commonly known as the White Album, released in 1968.

The vocals on this track are by Ringo Starr.

Although he sang lead on very few Beatles songs, this is one of them.

With its beautiful orchestral arrangement, it feels like something that could play over the final scene of a film from Hollywood’s golden age.

My HumpsThe Black Eyed Peas

The Black Eyed Peas – My Humps

This is a classic by the Black Eyed Peas, a group that has long reigned in the scene with a style that constantly embraces trends—from a sound rooted in hip-hop and reggae to incorporating electronic dance music.

Though they originally produced hard-edged underground music, their ability to approach the latest styles with high sophistication is remarkable.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to at night.

HonestThe Chainsmokers

The Chainsmokers – Honest (Audio)

A standout track by The Chainsmokers, whose melodic work races headlong in a downer-tinged direction while remaining both hardcore and mainstream.

This comfortable yet commanding nighttime track deepens its world in a profoundly immersive way, setting the perfect mood for late hours.

Men In BlackWill Smith

Will Smith – Men In Black (Video Version)

This is a famous track by Will Smith that gained popularity for its stylish, danceable sound, built around a sample of Patrice Rushen’s classic, and for being used as a movie theme song.

While also a popular actor, Smith’s high level of musicianship conveys the appeal of Black music, making this a song you’ll want to listen to at night.

Into The NightBenny Mardones

Benny Mardones – Into The Night (1980) HD

Into the Night is a song by American singer-songwriter Benny Mardones, released in 1980.

Counted among the classics of AOR, it became a hit again in 1989.

It was his only hit.

It’s a ballad that richly evokes the atmosphere of the night.

NocturneBilly Joel

Billy Joel – Nocturne (Audio)

If you’re looking to relax at night, why not try listening to a nocturne? A nocturne is a piano piece that evokes the tranquil mood of the night.

I especially recommend “Nocturne,” included on one of Billy Joel’s albums.

It serves as a kind of cooling-off interlude between tracks on the album.

Its piano melody is soothing and will melt away your fatigue.

If possible, listen to it together with the surrounding tracks on the album.

54321Cream

CREAM – 54321 [Short Version]

A skilled music duo consisting of Staxx T from Osaka and Minami, who was born in Hong Kong and raised in Kobe.

This track, themed around love at first sight, is featured on their 2016 album “CHANGE.” With its flowing, beautiful melody, it’s the perfect song to play on a nighttime drive.

On nights when you find yourself deep in thought or lost in memories, it will gently keep you company.
