A track from Sam Smith’s debut album, “In The Lonely Hour.” It’s a song about the indescribable loneliness felt when parting ways with a one-night companion.

While the theme is quite specific, the sadness of wanting to hold back a lover who’s leaving is universal.

When you feel lonely, let this song gently keep you company.

When love isn’t going well and you’re feeling a bit down, songs that make you feel “I’m okay” are highly recommended.

Let this classic by the British band The Verve give you that push to find the motivation to try changing yourself.

It’s also great for karaoke.

Even a handsome guy like Jon Bon Jovi sings clingy, lovesick songs like this one, which makes him feel more relatable.

As a piece of music it’s excellent too—a cool track featuring his soaring vocals.

The music video is also brimming with Jon’s charm.

You're BeautifulJames Blunt

This is a moving song about unrequited love by British singer-songwriter James Blunt.

Released in May 2005, it was inspired by his experience of unexpectedly seeing a former lover on the subway with a new partner.

Featured on the album “Back to Bedlam,” it became a major hit, reaching number one in 13 countries worldwide.

In Japan, it was used as an insert song for the Fuji TV drama “Kobayakawa Nobuki no Koi” and as a commercial song for the Toyota Vitz.

Although it may sound romantic at first, it actually conveys bittersweet feelings and complex emotions, resonating deeply with those who have experienced heartbreak or parting.

CirclesPost Malone15rank/position

I think it’s hard to catch the lyrics of songs in English.

With this song, “Circles,” many people might feel it sounds bright if they just listen to the melody.

The vibe is upbeat, but in fact it’s a song about losing someone important.

Please give it a listen.
