Songs to listen to when your heart is tired: a miracle cure for laying down the heavy burdens of your twenties

Music writer / guitarist / Certified web writing practitionerHoshino Takashi
Drawing on over 30 years of experience with guitars and bands since my high school days, I specialize in music-related articles and have handled many feature pieces to date. While my tastes lean toward genres like hard rock and heavy metal since I first picked up the guitar, I make a point of listening to a wide range of styles, both Japanese and Western, on a daily basis. I began working as a freelance writer in 2018. I hold a Web Writing Practical Certification, and in addition to writing, I’m also studying video editing. In my private life, I’m raising an elementary school child and stay active while supporting their extracurriculars, such as parkour and dance.

Even though you give it your all every day, does it still feel hard to breathe? Do you ever have nights when you want to throw everything away? When your heart is tired from the whirlwind of work, relationships, and constant change, the right songs can be a special remedy that gently untangles the taut emotions of your twenties.

You don’t have to force yourself to be cheerful.

In this article, we’ll introduce a selection of gem-like tracks that quietly stay by your side and help wash away your heavy burdens along with your tears.

Why not surrender yourself to warm melodies and take a moment to pause?

Kenshi Yonezu’s single “Spinning Globe,” released in July 2023 as the theme song for the film “The Boy and the Heron,” is also included on the album “LOST CORNER,” out in August 2024.

This gem of a ballad was crafted over about four years after a direct offer from director Hayao Miyazaki.

Set to an ensemble centered on piano and strings, it depicts life’s joys and sorrows, meetings and partings, from a sweeping, bird’s-eye perspective.

On nights when the whirlwind of daily change feels suffocating and you want to throw everything away, it’s perfect for someone weighed down by heavy thoughts to listen to alone in a quiet room.

Its warm melody will gently ease taut emotions.
