Recommended Western music for men in their 50s: World classics and popular songs (91–100)
As I AmBilly Joel
Among Billy Joel’s many hit songs, this one has a gentle, mellow tone.
He wrote it for his wife at the time, and I’d love to see married men in their 50s dedicate it to their wives.
The chorus line, “I’ll take you just the way you are,” will surely make any wife swoon when she hears it.
Love Me TenderElvis Persley
It’s a song based on an American folk tune.
The gentle melody perfectly matches the meaning of “Love me tender—love me gently.” When a man says “love me gently,” it naturally stirs a woman’s maternal instincts.
Wonderful TonightEric Clapton
“You look wonderful tonight.” Japanese men are often too shy to say it, but even a simple line like this will make a woman fall head over heels.
Eric Clapton’s rugged voice really gives off that “sexy middle-aged man” vibe, and it’s great.
I want you to gaze at me.Phil Collins
The lyrics feel a bit like a farewell song, but I’m especially drawn to the line, “You’re the only one who really knew me at all.” I imagine there are many men in their fifties who feel that way about a woman even now, not just in the past.
What A Wonderful WorldLouis Armstrong
For a birthday in your 50s, if you’re reflecting on life, how about Louis Armstrong’s classic “What a Wonderful World”? It was featured in the film Ocean’s Eleven, and you’ve probably heard it at least once.
Let yourself be carried away by its mellow, soulful vocals.
TequilaThe Champs
For a 50th birthday spent drinking with like-minded friends, this track is perfect for lifting everyone’s spirits.
The toast is, of course, “Tequila!” Just be careful not to drink too much or get too carried away.
Neat Neat NeatThe Damned
This is the song the protagonist listens to while robbing a bank in the movie Baby Driver.
Watching him handle the car with his genius driving skills is guaranteed to get you pumped.
For a 50th birthday, it might be fun to head out on a trip, listening to music in the car.
