“Love Someone,” released in September 2018 by the Danish soul-pop band Lukas Graham, expresses the feeling of truly loving someone: “You may have loved someone before, but I love you with a far stronger feeling than that.” As Lukas himself has said, “I feel a kind of love I’ve never felt before,” which shows just how powerful the message is.

So YoungSuede

Suede – So Young (Remastered Official HD Video)
So YoungSuede

This is a song from Suede’s early debut period, and they’re still going strong today.

When I thought about the conditions of “cool” and “a classic,” this song came to mind.

Suede always valued a look that epitomized the idea that rock is cool, but it wasn’t just their appearance—their music was fantastic too.

If you haven’t listened yet, give it a try.

I’m sure you’ll think it’s cool!

Wherever You Will GoThe Calling

The Calling – Wherever You Will Go (Official Video)
Wherever You Will GoThe Calling

An exquisite pop rock song and a massive hit by The Calling.

Its melancholic, wistful melody is striking.

The vocalist’s singing voice is incredibly cool, and he’s so handsome he could pass for an idol.

No wonder he has so many female fans.

Sweet Child O’ MineGuns N’ Roses

Guns N’ Roses – Sweet Child O’ Mine (Official Music Video)
Sweet Child O' MineGuns N' Roses

It’s a Guns N’ Roses song that starts with a cool guitar solo.

It’s rooted in hard rock, but the melody is really good, and above all, the high-pitched vocals are awesome.

The guitar solo has a slightly bluesy feel, too, which makes it sound really great!

Englishman In New YorkSting

Sting’s 1987 album Nothing Like the Sun includes the song Englishman in New York.

While it wasn’t a major hit at the time, it is now regarded as a classic.

Sting has stated that the “Englishman” in the lyrics was modeled on Quentin Crisp, who publicly came out as gay.

In New York at the time, discrimination against gay people like him was still strong.

The lyrics convey messages about loneliness and about getting through life with dignity and courtesy.

Bad At LoveHalsey

Halsey – Bad At Love (Official Music Video)
Bad At LoveHalsey

A 2017 track by American singer-songwriter Halsey.

She had already been getting a lot of attention before her debut, and her talent is undeniable—on this song, she shows vocal prowess that’s hard to believe at just 23.

It’s a wild, cool number with glimpses of purity.
