Don’t Look Back In AngerOasis26rank/position
Oasis, the Manchester-born band that made their name resound across the globe as a standard-bearer of Britpop, released a classic song in February 1996 that delivers an uplifting message of hope and resonates deeply with the heart.
This track, the first to feature Noel Gallagher as lead vocalist, sings about letting go of past anger and hate and moving forward toward a brighter future.
Beginning with a beautiful piano intro heavily influenced by the Beatles and building into a majestic chorus, the song’s structure is breathtaking.
It debuted at number one in the UK and later became a symbol of solidarity and hope in the midst of sorrow when it was sung at a memorial gathering after the 2017 Manchester Arena terrorist attack.
Under The BridgeRed Hot Chili Peppers27rank/position
A melancholic song that represents the early Red Hot Chili Peppers.
From the guitar arpeggios in the intro, the atmosphere makes it impossible not to feel sadness, and the depiction of someone writhing in lonely suffering feels painfully raw—a somewhat tough song to listen to.
No SurprisesRadiohead28rank/position
It’s a song about death, which you wouldn’t imagine from its gentle sound and vocals.
It’s by the popular British rock band Radiohead, included on their 1997 album OK Computer.
It seems to convey the chilly feeling of autumn.
DriveThe Cars29rank/position
This is a song by the American rock band The Cars, released in 1984, that gently accompanies the hearts of those who feel lonely.
It sings about the helpless feeling of still caring even after a breakup.
The phrase “Who’s gonna drive you home?” is especially memorable.
In July 1985, during the Live Aid event, it was used as background music for clips depicting the Ethiopian famine.
When you feel lonely or when someone comes to mind, why not listen to this song? You may realize that there is someone out there who cares about you.
Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest WordBlue30rank/position
They are a British dance-vocal group.
They have a mature coolness and are great singers—perhaps similar to EXILE in Japan.
It’s a song about not being able to say words of apology, no matter what.
The emotions are poured into the vocals, and listening to it can bring you to tears.
