Yami Songs in Western Music Ranking [2026] (91–100)
even the nights are betterAir Supply91rank/position
It’s a gentle song that really tugs at the heart on summer nights.
The lyrics feel like telling someone heartbroken from a breakup, “I’m always by your side; I’ll give you my love anytime.” It doesn’t mention summer explicitly, but for some reason, listening to it always makes me think of summer.
Anywhere Away From HereRag’n’Bone Man & P!nk92rank/position
If you want to listen to “dark” songs to sink into your feelings but still end with a sense of being saved, I recommend ‘Anywhere Away From Here.’ It’s a duet by Rag’n’Bone Man and P!nk, and its simple arrangement of piano and vocals is striking.
While Japanese translations of the lyrics exist, they’re highly lyrical and quite enigmatic, so I suggest listening and interpreting them in your own way.
FallJustin Bieber93rank/position
We also say “Fall” for autumn in English, and how about this Justin Bieber song that uses that word in its title? The title means “to fall in love,” and somehow the vibe of the song feels autumn-like, doesn’t it? I also recommend translating the lyrics into Japanese as part of your English studies.
SmileMorgan Wallen94rank/position
American singer-songwriter Morgan Wallen’s new song is making waves.
Surprise-released in December 2024, the track is a poignant ballad that looks back on a past relationship.
Sparked by a smiling face in a photograph, the lyrics stir nostalgia for a love that’s been lost.
Wallen’s emotive vocals and a sound that blends country and pop are especially compelling.
Fans are also looking forward to its debut at his first-ever festival slated for 2025.
It’s a perfect song for when you’re in the mood to sink into old memories.
King Of SorrowSade95rank/position
A track released in 2001 by the British group Sade.
The music video, which portrays the dilemma of a single mother who dreams of becoming a singer, was directed by Sophie Muller and filmed around the Normandy Hotel in Puerto Rico.
