Faint (Official Music Video) [4K UPGRADE] – Linkin Park

A birthday in your 30s.

How about listening to this song in memory of Chester Bennington, who passed away suddenly in 2017? You could even hit up karaoke for the first time in a while and let out a good shout.

This isn’t the time to be down—maybe it’ll be the push you need to say, “I’m going to keep living strong from here on out.”

Oasis – Wonderwall (Official Video)

We’d planned all sorts of things, but for those whose teenage birthday is shaping up to be just another ordinary day, here’s a signature song from Oasis.

It was memorably used as an insert song in the film “Mommy.” It’s a youth anthem for young people.

Paramore: Decode [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

A track used in the film Twilight.

Released in 2008 by the American rock band Paramore, it became a hit around the world and was nominated for a Grammy Award.

The track portrays the tension, awkwardness, anger, and confusion in a romantic relationship.

Don’t Stop Me NowQueen95rank/position

Queen – Don’t Stop Me Now (Official Video)

A track from Queen’s seventh album, Jazz, by the now truly legendary British rock band.

Their music was so original that anyone, anywhere could recognize it as “Queen.” They cherished their Japanese fans, who—along with rock magazines—were among the first to champion them.

With this upbeat song, let’s think of the one-of-a-kind vocalist, Freddie.

DreamsThe Cranberries96rank/position

The Cranberries – Dreams (Dir: Peter Scammell) (Official Music Video)

The debut song by the Irish rock band The Cranberries is a dreamy track released in September 1992.

It captivates with Dolores O’Riordan’s translucent vocals and Noel Hogan’s arpeggiated guitar weaving a dreamlike soundscape.

The lyrics, which depict the flutter of first love, and the melody line influenced by Celtic music possess a beauty that resonates deeply.

The song has been featured in works such as Mission: Impossible and Derry Girls, becoming a timeless classic cherished across generations.

It’s a recommended track for those who want to rekindle the anticipation of new love or the sweet memories of their youth.

Every Breath You TakeThe Police97rank/position

The Police – Every Breath You Take (Official Music Video)

A signature masterpiece by the British rock band The Police, this memorable song prominently features the timbre of the double bass.

Though it holds a “quiet love song” status and enjoys overwhelming popularity among women even today, it’s actually a socially conscious track characteristic of Sting, written with the idea of a malicious surveillance society in mind.

Depending on how you listen, you can also notice a lurking eeriness reminiscent of the modern issue of stalking.

That said, it certainly tickles the feeling of “I’d want to be sung to like this by someone I love,” so perhaps it’s best to keep thinking of it as a love song.

With Or Without YouU298rank/position

U2 – With Or Without You (U2 At The BBC)

There seem to be various interpretations of this song, but to me it feels like the inner conflict and anguish we face when making choices in life.

Like loving someone but not being able to be together.

It might be Bono’s cry about living with his own contradictions.
