Foreign songs you want to listen to in the morning: background music for the breakfast table

20-20NEW!Ella Langley

Ella Langley – 20-20 (Official Visualizer)

The song I want you to relax with on a slow weekend morning is a number that portrays calmly reexamining memories of a past romance.

It deals with a relatable, real theme: truths that we couldn’t see at the time gradually become clearer after the breakup.

It’s crafted with her rough-hewn yet accessible contemporary country-rock sound.

This work was released by Ella Langley in November 2024 as an additional track on the album “still hungover.” It’s a piece I especially recommend for those who want to spend a peaceful weekend morning leisurely reflecting on days gone by.

Harry Styles – Daylight (Official Video)

Let me introduce a track themed around the precarious obsession that comes from being drawn to a loved one, and the wistfulness that comes with the break of dawn.

Harry Styles’s vocals are truly captivating as he beautifully sings with a dreamy atmosphere that lies beneath the bright melody.

The song is included on the album “Harry’s House,” released in May 2022, which many of you may know as it won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

The piece was created with the background of pulling an all-nighter to finish it, then heading down to the seaside to watch the sunrise.

There’s also a much-talked-about version of the music video filmed in a fan’s apartment, so be sure to check that out as well.

It’s perfect for a soothing moment, so give it a listen on a leisurely day off.

WALK THE MOON – Shut Up and Dance (Official Video)

Perfect for a season wrapped in the warm spring sunshine that naturally puts a spring in your step is the signature song by WALK THE MOON, a rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio.

Featured on their 2014 album “Talking Is Hard,” this track captivates with its shimmering, ’80s-style synthesizers and exhilarating beats.

Just like the lyric “forget the extra stuff and dance,” it unconditionally lifts the listener’s spirits.

Beloved around the world, it’s been used at MLB events and in the Broadway musical “Moulin Rouge!” alike.

Give it a listen when you want to ease the nerves of a new beginning, or as the perfect companion for a spring breeze drive!

This song is a peaceful track with a pleasing reggae-like “n-cha, n-cha” rhythm.

Theme From A Summer PlacePercy Faith

Percy Faith – Theme From A Summer Place

Percy Faith captivated the public from the 1950s into the ’60s with his rich sound that made effective use of strings.

He is known as a pioneer who helped establish the easy listening genre.

Recorded in September 1959, this film’s love theme is marked by a dreamy melody carried at a leisurely tempo.

The refined orchestral sound woven by horns and strings symbolizes the sweet, fleeting memories of summer romance and youth.

In 1960, it spent nine consecutive weeks at No.

1 on the Billboard chart, and the following year it won a Grammy Award.

Why not spend a peaceful moment wrapped in soothing music?

Alan Jackson – Little Bitty (Official Music Video)

It’s the kind of country music everyone imagines—so cheerful it makes you want to start dancing.

Alongside the guitar, the accordion adds a nice accent that amplifies the upbeat vibe.

I think it’s the sort of music you’d want playing in a steakhouse.
