When you want to listen to a song that supports your heart when you feel like giving up, I recommend this track—one of GReeeeN’s signature songs! Their music often delivers straightforward, positive messages that naturally resonate with the heart.
This song is no exception; when you’re feeling discouraged or anxious, it gently lifts you up.
If you read through the lyrics, you’re sure to find words that will strengthen your spirit.
End of the dayMr.Children
This Mr.
Children song is the one that will support you when you want to make that final push.
They formed in 1989, but they’re still popular among today’s high school students! When you’re “so close, but just not quite there,” if you really read the lyrics to this song, you’ll find the strength to push a little harder.
These lyrics gently encourage a heart that’s feeling a bit timid and give you the courage to keep running.
I hope every high school student striving toward their goals will listen to it.
