Heal The WorldMichael Jackson

Michael Jackson ~ Heal The World ~ (with Japanese subtitles)

A beautiful ballad included on the 1991 album Dangerous by Michael Jackson, the “King of Pop.” Throughout his life, he was plagued by numerous rumors and scandals, which makes the song’s earnest message—wanting to make the world a better place—all the more resonant with listeners.

LoveJohn Lennon

LOVE. (Ultimate Mix, 2020) – John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band (official music video 4K)

A track included on John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, the first solo album released after the Beatles’ breakup in 1970.

The song’s lyrics are said to have been inspired by John Lennon’s reading of Matsuo Bashō’s haiku collection.

Set to a simple arrangement of just piano and acoustic guitar, the words about “love” are all the more direct and affecting for their simplicity.

Unconditional loveCyndi Lauper

Cyndi Lauper – Unconditional Love

There’s the word “conditional,” and then there’s “unconditional.” The phrase “unconditional love” is often translated as “mushō no ai” (love without conditions), but in the case of this Cyndi Lauper song, I feel a deeper nuance that can’t be fully captured in Japanese.

If you’re single, you’ll probably find yourself thinking, “Someday I want to experience a love like this!” And if you’re currently in a relationship, you’ll likely relate to it a lot.

Incidentally, Ringo Sheena has also covered it.

We are the WorldUSA For Africa

U.S.A. For Africa – We Are the World

It’s one of the most famous charity songs, isn’t it? I imagine many of you are very familiar with it.

Under the leadership of Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, who were at the forefront of the pop industry, renowned musicians and artists gathered to record it.

The song carries a message wishing for everlasting world peace.

Better DaysOneRepublic

OneRepublic – Better Days (Audio)

This is a song by OneRepublic, a pop-rock band formed in Colorado, USA, known for captivating the world with their catchy melodies.

It was created in March 2020, right after the World Health Organization declared a pandemic, while the band members were actually living in isolation.

Featured on the album “Human,” the track conveys a warm message of hope: no matter how hard things are now, better days will surely come.

It was also used as a campaign song by the car manufacturers Jeep and Fiat, offering support to many people.

It’s recommended for those weary of uncertain days who want someone to gently be by their side.

Let yourself cry it all out—you’ll likely find the strength to face tomorrow.

DesperadoThe Eagles

Eagles – Desperado (Live from Melbourne) (Official Video) [4K]

When I turn inward and struggle with my feelings, I suddenly find myself wanting to listen to this song.

In society, to avoid getting hurt, we sometimes put up barriers around our hearts and end up losing sight of what we truly want and of our own senses.

For people like that, this masterpiece gently nudges you, asking: Why not return to your own senses once more?
