Cheer songs in Western music recommended for men: world-class masterpieces and popular tracks.
Somehow, when it comes to so-and-so kinds of Western music, I can’t help but want to compare the difference in direction with Japanese music of the same genre—and I’m going to do that this time too.
In Japanese music, there are many artists who sing supportive songs gently or in a pop style, whereas in Western music there are a lot of hype-you-up anthems that feel like they’re shouting, “You can do it!!!”
Also, the writing by the people who did each review in this article is really entertaining.

Cheering Songs in Western Music Recommended for Men: World Classics and Popular Hits (91–100)
The Long And Winding RoadThe Beatles
The Beatles’ classic, “The Long and Winding Road.” It’s the perfect song to listen to while feeling a little immersed in your own long, difficult journey.
Carried by its beautiful orchestration and sweeping grandeur, this song makes me feel like I can start bit by bit with what’s right in front of me—and stay positive.
DreamsThe Cranberries
It’s the song that became the theme for the 1998 movie “You’ve Got Mail,” and it probably feels like something you’ve heard somewhere before.
As befits the theme song of a romantic comedy, both the sound and the lyrics nicely capture a man and woman pursuing their dreams.
It’s the perfect background music for you as you work hard for the sake of the woman you love.
So GoodAustin Mahone
Austin Mahone’s debut single, which is used in a Samantha Thavasa commercial.
The phrase “You’re beautiful,” repeated many times, makes this a song that men who dream of meeting a woman they can say that to should listen to.
Meeting someone like that is a miracle.
Knockin’ on Heaven’s DoorBob Dylan
Bob Dylan’s masterpiece, “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.” He’s now a Nobel Prize–winning writer, so he’s become a figure with a major social impact, not just a singer.
This is a song he released in 1973.
I think Dylan’s worldview is just incredibly cool.
Honestly, I don’t understand English that well, but this song lets you feel the masculine aesthetics Dylan portrays.
We Are Never Ever Getting BackTaylor Swift
It’s a straight, punchy song that’s so very Taylor Swift.
It’s about a breakup, but the crisp, forthright lyrics blow away any regrets or mistakes.
In Japan, it might be strongly associated with Terrace House, but it’s a track you’ll want to listen to over and over.
