This song, which is also included on OASIS’s second album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, actually reached number one on the UK charts.

Maybe because of that, it’s played everywhere and I think many people know it.

In the UK, it’s considered a national anthem–level classic.

It’s been covered by many artists, and in Japan it was used as the ending theme for BECK, which I thought suited it very well.

Blue Moon Of KentuckyPatsy Cline

In the quiet of the morning, the rich voice of Patsy Cline resonates.

This piece, which sings of the ache of heartbreak and a lonely heart bathed in moonlight, is a perfect song for breakfast time.

Released in June 1964, it was also included on the soundtrack of the film Sweet Dreams, showcasing Cline’s charm to the fullest.

Listening to this song as soft light filters through the window in the morning will gently soothe your heart.

It’s a lovely track that fills you with hope for a new day and gives you the gentle courage to face forward.
