Vitamin SeaOwl City

A solo project by Adam Young, Owl City.

Their distinctive pop music, rooted in synth-pop and emo, is often described as dreamy electropop.

Owl City’s new song is “Vitamin Sea.” Its melody, tinged with alternative rock, and its catchy lyrics will be a great source of strength for anyone dealing with worries.

Highly recommended for those who want a bright, uplifting tune to boost their spirits.

The RollerBeady Eye

A fine song sung by vocalist Liam Gallagher—who broke the silence after Oasis split to form Beady Eye—with a surprisingly wistful, melancholic tone that defied most expectations.

Asked in an interview about the origin of the band’s name, Liam replied, “Because when records are lined up in alphabetical order, we’ll be next to the Beatles.”

Jackson CanneryBen Folds Five

They were a piano-centered three-piece band.

A guitarless style was a rare presence in the rock scene at the time.

The album featuring this track became a hit in Japan before their home country, partly thanks to the TV drama “Long Vacation.” The intense piano sound will blow your fatigue away!

Coffee and TVBlur

Blur, the alternative rock band that took the world by storm as a leading force of Britpop.

While most of their songs feature frontman Damon Albarn on vocals, this track has guitarist Graham Coxon taking the lead.

Its steady, understated sound and Graham’s laid-back vocals slowly seep into a tired heart.

Included on the 1999 album “13.” Guitarist Graham Coxon, who by then had turned his attention from the already fading Britpop to the American music scene and alternative sounds, plays a laid-back, melancholic melody reminiscent of Neil Young.

Wild Is The WindBon Jovi

Included on New Jersey, the album that propelled the band to global stardom.

A slow-tempo track that develops powerfully from a quiet intro, it’s a masterpiece that maximally showcases the band’s hallmark strengths: superb harmonies and a grand sense of scale.

Midway through, Richie slips in a guitar riff that evokes Eric Clapton.

Included on the 1993 release Hat Full of Stars.

It has an unusual progression, starting a cappella and gradually bringing in instruments, but the chorus surges all at once, making it a particularly important track on the album.

She even toured Japan at the time.

At the Tokyo show, she revealed her professional rigor by having the band restart a song when she wasn’t satisfied with their performance.
