Coldplay – Yellow (Official Video)

For a teen’s birthday, I’m gifting some of Coldplay’s early hit songs.

It’s moving to think they once had this era too, considering how they now collaborate with EDM artists all the time.

These are also perfect songs to pick up an acoustic guitar and try some sing-and-play covers.

For those who say, “I remember ‘Let It Go’ being all the rage, but I never actually watched it…,” this is exactly the song I want you to hear—the theme from Disney’s animated film Frozen.

In this version sung by Demi Lovato, her powerful vocals affirm the importance of being true to yourself.

As you celebrate your teen birthday, I hope you can walk your own path in life, true to who you are.

The female vocalist Hailee Steinfeld is also active as an actress, having played a life-sized high school girl as the protagonist in the coming-of-age film The Edge of Seventeen.

On a teen birthday, getting inspired by the achievements of your peers might be a great way to boost your energy.

For a teen birthday, if you’re looking for a song that lets you bask in that feeling of “we can do anything,” this one is highly recommended.

Precisely because you’re young, the world is still small—and that’s why you can claim everything in the world you know.

Savor the privileges that come with youth.

The tropical sound crafted by Norwegian DJ Kygo is refreshing.

It’s a track that lifts your spirits, so why not give it a listen for a teen’s birthday or on days when you just don’t feel like going to school?

For a teen birthday, if you want to pump yourself up with a “I’m me, I’ll live how I want!” vibe, how about this track? Sadly, Lady Gaga has announced a hiatus due to health issues, but since she’s always stayed true to her own style, I’m sure she’ll make a comeback.
