Recommended Western music for men in their 50s: World classics and popular songs (81–90)
LatelyStevie Wonder
It’s Stevie Wonder’s “Lately.” It’s a song that captures a breakup from a man’s perspective.
If you listened to a song like this after a heartbreak, you might find yourself in tears.
Stevie’s melodic sense and vocal prowess are overwhelming.
He’ll surely encourage you, gently wrapping you in warmth.
Miss a ThingAerosmith
This song, which was featured in the movie Armageddon, is about wanting to stay awake and watch his girlfriend’s sleeping face right in front of him.
It might be a bit tough for a man in his fifties who’s tired from work and wants to go to bed early, but maybe he could manage it on the weekend.
Melody FairBee Gees
It’s a song that became a hit along with the film Melody (a.k.a.
“Melody: A Little Romance”).
Its gentle tone is completely different from the Bee Gees’ image as primarily disco musicians.
The breadth of the Bee Gees’ vocal range suits the style perfectly, making it a soothing track.
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.
