For musical fans.
This is the theme song from the masterpiece RENT.
“How do you measure a life?” For a birthday in your 50s, it’s perfect to go on a long-overdue date, just the two of you with your beloved partner.
It’s also the ideal song to look back on the year and reflect on life.
I Love YouClimax Blues Ban
Climax Blues Band may sound like an American band, but they’re actually from the UK.
I Love You is a truly simple confession song that says, “I love you.
I’ll never let you go.” Released in 1981, it gradually became a hit over time.
It may seem understated, but the more you listen, the more depth it reveals.
In the West, it’s also well known as a wedding song.
The First Time Ever I Saw Your FaceRoberta Flack
Roberta Flack is an American R&B singer known for her hit “Killing Me Softly with His Song.” “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” was originally released in 1969 as an album track.
The song drew attention after it was used in the 1971 film Play Misty for Me.
Released as a single, it became a massive hit, staying at No.
1 on the U.S.
charts for six consecutive weeks in 1972.
It’s a slow number with a subtly sensual feel.
A Song For YouLeon Russell
Originally released in 1970 by American singer-songwriter Leon Russell, the song was later covered by many artists, including the Carpenters, and became a rock/pop standard.
In this version sung by the songwriter himself, his raspy voice and the piano that seems to cradle his vocals are deeply moving.
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.
