Recommended Western music for men in their 50s: World classics and popular songs (91–100)
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.
Higher LoveSteve Winwood
It feels like “Bring me a higher love—give me the greatest love,” conveying that yearning for love! The song was a huge hit in the United States and won the Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
SunshineStevie Wonder
This is another song Stevie Wonder dedicated to his wife.
I feel like songs by Black artists often use very straightforward expressions, which makes them very easy to understand.
“You are the sunshine of my life”—if a woman hears that she’s the sunshine of someone’s life, she’d simply be happy, right?
BabeStyx
This song’s lyrics are about one of the members of Styx leaving on a journey, leaving his wife at home.
Are there any middle-aged men who have made their wives feel lonely by going on solo assignments or business trips and leaving them behind? This is a recommended song for those people.
RosannaTOTO
This song, which won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and became a huge hit worldwide, is one you’ll definitely want to know as a famous love song.
The lyrics—“I want to see your eyes when I wake up in the morning” and “I want to hold you in the evening”—are wonderfully romantic, aren’t they?
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.
