Classic Western songs that soothe the soul
Why not, for once, stop thinking and just let yourself sink into some good music?
In our daily lives, stress tends to build up in ways we don’t even notice.
When that happens, relax your mind by listening to music that’s a little different from your usual.
It’s great in the bath, or before bed in your bedroom—but the top recommendation is to play it while you’re lazily spending a day off.
That’s the best.
When you find a song you like, try it out in all sorts of moments.

Although they have since disbanded, they were a rare Australian band that achieved massive worldwide success.
The year 2000 was truly a turning point for them, a year in which they were remarkably active.
Even now, this song doesn’t feel dated.
Dancing QueenABBA
A song released in 1976 by the Swedish vocal group ABBA.
It topped both the U.S.

My Heart Will Go OnCéline Dion
The theme song of the blockbuster film Titanic.
It was a worldwide hit that won numerous awards, including the 1997 Academy Award for Best Original Song! In Japan, it reached No.
34 on the Oricon chart and topped the international music category.
Influenced by this song, many film studios went on to create tracks based on tragic love ballads.
YesterdayThe Beatles
I feel a bit hesitant about featuring only the Beatles, but when it comes to hit songs from the ’60s, they’re simply impossible to leave out.
This song was a massive hit in 1965 and is so famous that even people who don’t like the Beatles know the title.
It’s also a wonderful ballad.
wherever u rUMI, V
A warm collaborative track by UMI and BTS’s V, whose gentle, soothing vocals heal the heart.
It’s a heartfelt piece about love that remains connected even across distance.
Released in December 2023 to coincide with V’s birthday, the song’s lyrics reflect on Sunday memories and conversations with someone special, conveying a relationship where both think of each other despite being far apart.
It’s a song to play when you want to pause in the midst of busy days and think of someone important—you’ll likely feel calm and at peace.
