Way Back Home Sam Feldt EditSHAUN feat. Conor Maynard
This song, which sings of unwavering love for a cherished person and a longing for home, is a gem of a collaboration between Korean singer-songwriter/producer Shaun and British singer-songwriter Conor Maynard.
Remixed by Dutch DJ Sam Feldt, it warmly portrays a bond of love that never fades despite change, set to the soothing rhythms of tropical house.
Released in December 2018, this bilingual track—blending Korean and English lyrics—evokes cross-border emotion and deeply resonates with couples in long-distance relationships and those living far from their hometowns.
Even The Nights Are BetterAir Supply
This song features a pleasant melody and warm harmonies that evoke a calm seaside scene.
Known as one of Air Supply’s signature works, it was included on the album “Now and Forever,” released in June 1982.
The lyrics gently portray a man’s feelings as he, after a lost love, finds a new romance—moving from loneliness to hope, expressed through Air Supply’s characteristically soft vocals.
It’s the perfect track for peaceful moments, whether you’re on your way to or from the beach, or spending a quiet night with someone special.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to soothe their heart.
The BorderAmerica
America is one of the bands that epitomize soft rock, and they broke through with the hit single “A Horse With No Name” in 1972.
Known for their simple, refreshing sound, their heyday was in the 1970s.
“The Border” is a track from their 1983 album of the same name.
Released as a single, it became their last hit on the U.S.
charts.
Seaside WeekendANTENA
A female French pop singer named Antena.
Her “Seaside Weekend” opens with a distinctive electronic beeping—“beep, beep, beep”—and is driven throughout by exotic percussion rhythms that evoke a strong sense of the foreign.
Blended with that accompaniment, her slightly ennui-tinged yet translucent vocals create a fascinating sense of liberation, as if you were gazing at the sea from some unknown, isolated island.
If you’re looking for a slightly unusual summer song, this track is highly recommended!
