It’s a song by the Australian singer-songwriter CLOVES.

The low piano tone at the beginning and her deep voice have a rugged, intriguing charm.

The instrumentation is simple, yet her vocals in the chorus feel mystical, giving the track a nostalgic vibe.

This Year’s LoveDavid Gray

DAVID GRAY – This Year’s Love (Official Music Video)

It’s a song by the British singer-songwriter David Gray, and the gently played piano melody is soothing.

I also like that the tone stays consistent throughout with a slow tempo.

It feels like the kind of track you’d want to listen to in a café on a rainy day, coffee in hand.

Just A KissLady Antebellum

Lady Antebellum – Just A Kiss

This is a famous song by Lady Antebellum released in 2011.

Its bright piano melody and sweet lyrics are utterly enchanting, and it makes you want to listen under the moonlight, just like in the lyrics.

It’s perfect for listening with a lover or someone special, and it’s also a great choice for weddings and proposals, so I highly recommend it.
