Just The Way You AreBruno Mars
I used to listen to it a lot when I was in high school, when I was unsure about my future and lacked confidence.
Even now, years later, I still listen to it often—it’s a song that gives me strength.
His powerful yet gentle voice and the comfortable rhythm of the drums always lift my spirits.
HappyPharrell Williams
There are few artists who have adapted to the times as skillfully as Pharrell.
He debuted as part of a band with rock-and-hip-hop tracks, then gradually changed his style to fit the era, went solo, and before anyone knew it, he was right at the center of the zeitgeist.
Perhaps this is what true talent is.
Fine On The OutsidePriscilla Ahn
The American singer-songwriter Priscilla Ahn’s song, created in 2005, drew attention when it was chosen as the theme song for Studio Ghibli’s film “When Marnie Was There.” The lyrics, which strikingly contrast inner loneliness with an outward show of strength, delicately portray the feelings of her girlhood, when she had few friends and carried a sense of solitude.
Released as a single in July 2014, the song resonated with many viewers as it played over the film’s ending.
The track is characterized by Ahn’s clear, transparent vocals and simple acoustic guitar accompaniment, making it a recommended listen for anyone who has experienced loneliness or wants to spend some quiet time.
Tears In HeavenEric Clapton
The tear-jerking karaoke classic by world-renowned guitarist Eric Clapton is “Tears in Heaven.” What’s amazing about this artist is that he has so many unforgettable masterpieces.
They’re so wonderful that they stick in your head and won’t let go.
