Cool and famous Western songs that are popular on the streets (61–70)
MidlandBurn Out
“Burn Out” by Midland, a three-piece country band from Texas, is a country song steeped in a mature mood.
The title “Burn Out” means something like “to burn out,” and here it likens a man’s burned-out feelings to a cigarette slowly burning away.
Even if you’re not strong in English, the melancholy really comes through in this track.
My SacrificeCreed
Creed’s My Sacrifice, which begins with quiet guitar arpeggios, delivers grand American rock.
Its dramatic, movie-like music video is another highlight.
Though not very well known in Japan, their albums have sold tens of millions of copies worldwide.
Be AlrightDean Lewis
Dean Lewis is a singer-songwriter from Sydney, Australia.
This track can be considered one of his signature works, and it gradually gained popularity after its release.
At the time he released this song, he didn’t have an album yet, and it was said that an album featuring this song as the lead track would be released.
In 2019, just as the rumors suggested, an album titled “A Place We Knew” was released, and this song is included on it.
AliveEmpire Of The Sun
Here’s a feel-good track from the Australian music group Empire of the Sun that’s hugely popular at their live shows.
It’s a famous song, so some of you may have heard it before.
And if this is your first time, you’ll probably be blown away by their striking look.
Just like their appearance, their music gives you a strange sensation—as if you’re gradually wandering into another dimension as you listen.
How You Remind MeNickelback
This is a smash hit by the heavy rock band Nickelback from Canada.
It starts off with a rugged, gritty vocal and guitar, gradually intensifies, and then the voltage surges in the chorus—it’s really cool, isn’t it? It was a rare phenomenon for a rock track like this to become a massive hit at a time when hip-hop and R&B were at their peak.
This Is ItScotty McCreery
A song by Scotty McCreery released in the summer of 2018.
It features a very heartwarming sound, and the music video is wedding-themed, making it seem like a great choice for actual wedding background music.
The lyrics are also a pure love song centered on marriage, so if you’re interested, check out the Japanese translation.
Je veuxZAZ
Zaz, the beloved national singer of France.
She’s an artist with a charming, cute vibe and an alluring husky voice.
Her song “Je veux” is nothing short of the track that made her a star.
It was her debut single, and it became an explosive hit across France right after its release.
While the song has a strong jazz feel, its fast tempo makes it a lively, feel-good listen.
Highly recommended if you’re looking for something stylish and cool.
