Bruno Mars – Just The Way You Are (Official Music Video)

“Just The Way You Are” is also known for winning the Grammy Award in 2011.

Jason Mraz – I’m Yours (Official Video) [4K Remaster]

The light, airy arpeggios of an acoustic guitar pour down like rays of sunshine.

It’s a gem by American singer-songwriter Jason Mraz.

This piece sings, over a sound that weaves in comfortable elements of reggae and folk, of the resolve to offer one’s true self to a loved one and the joy of living in the present.

Released in May 2008, it set a then-record by staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for 76 consecutive weeks as the lead single from the album “We Sing.

We Dance.

We Steal Things.” In Japan, it became widely loved as the song for a Kirin Beer commercial.

It will gently stay by your side when your heart is weary or when you’re about to open a new door.

Hotel California (2013 Remaster)

The Eagles’ classic “Hotel California.” Did you think, “Isn’t that hard?” Well, yeah, it’s kind of hard, but depending on the arrangement, it’s actually the kind of song you can sing pretty easily.

That’s because there aren’t many high notes in it.

Plus, it’s a song where you can use edge voice—tightening the throat to produce sound—so it’s super easy to mask imperfections.

Edge voice lets you blur the ends of phrases and transition smoothly into a whispery tone, so it really helps you get away with things.

That said, the difficulty can skyrocket depending on the arrangement, so watch out (lol).

HonestyBilly Joel25rank/position

Billy Joel – Honesty (Official Video)

The classic song released by Billy Joel in 1978 rides a pop melody to advocate the importance of honesty in human relationships.

Hailing from the United States, his singing voice, woven together with the sound of the piano, is filled with deep emotion.

The piece is included on the album “52nd Street,” and earned high acclaim worldwide, reaching number one in France.

The lyrics’ plea for sincerity has been interpreted not only in the context of romantic relationships but also as criticism of politicians.

Honesty—harder to find than kindness or love—is powerfully portrayed in its rarity and value.
