Western songs loved by high school students: Classic and popular international hits (71–80)
SulfurSlipknot
An American heavy metal band whose members all cover their faces with deranged-looking masks.
The band is characterized by mid-range vocals that sound distorted and a progressive, aggressive guitar sound, giving them a unique appeal unlike any other.
This song of theirs is a hidden gem that contains both melancholy and madness, and it’s a Western track I’d especially like sensitive high school students to hear.
Somebody Loves YouBetty Who
This song was released in 2014.
It’s a bright, poppy track that’s perfect for cherry blossom season.
Even in high school, not everyone is enjoying their youth.
Some still haven’t made friends, or feel out of place in class and end up spending dull days…
At times like that, turn up the energy with this song!
Cartoon HeroesAQUA
Perfect for summer and guaranteed to lift your spirits, a uniquely refreshing Western pop song would be “Cartoon Heroes” by the Nordic dance-pop group Aqua.
The duet between the cute female vocalist and the gravelly-voiced male vocalist is striking.
I think it would make summer high school baseball even more fun and exciting.
TiredAlan Walker ft. Gavin James
When it comes to Western EDM tracks that blow away the fatigue of extreme heat, this song—a collaboration between popular DJ Alan Walker and Gavin James—fits the bill.
I think it will bring a refreshing boost to summer high school baseball.
Its beautiful chorus is especially captivating.
How Far I’ll GoAlessia Cara
Speaking of summery Western songs, how about the theme song from the Disney animated film Moana? It’s a track that evokes a sense of new journeys and fresh beginnings.
It’s perfect for cheering on the players heading into their summer high school baseball games.
