All StarSmash Mouth
It seems to refer to the stars in the night sky and, as a metaphor, to ordinary people, but in fact it’s singing about the players who appear in the All-Star Game held around the middle of the baseball season.
Still, the song’s vibe is just right, and the lyrics are positive—I think it’s something I could recommend to new students starting school.
The overall feel is just right too! The ska-like intro is particularly distinctive.
Why Can’t We Be Friends?Smash Mouth
The title might give a slightly lonely impression, but the theme hidden in the lyrics is that people can all become friends regardless of skin color or gender.
It’s a song I especially want those who are worried about making friends at a new school to hear.
With A Little Help From My FriendsThe Beatles
To sum up this song, I think the closest nuance is something like: “You might fail sometimes, but give it a try—your friends around you will surely help!” It’s the perfect set of lyrics for students starting a new school year! The tempo is relatively relaxed, and it’s highly recommended for scenes of interacting with seniors and classmates.
Plus, everyone knows the Beatles!
Title HolderThe Interrupters
The Interrupters’ pop-punk track “Title Holder” is a refreshing song whose message—“Live with pride like a title holder!”—really fires you up.
With a lively sound that blends punk and rock ’n’ roll and emphasizes an offbeat rhythm, it’ll have you wanting to start dancing before you know it.
Just like in this song, it’d be great to aim for the top in your studies or club activities and become a title holder yourself!
I’ll Be There For YouThe Rembrandts
A song that became a massive hit as the theme for the American TV show Friends.
Its brisk, refreshing melody and rhythm carry lyrics that are a bit rough around the edges but, above all, straightforward—piercing listeners to the core.
The music video looks like a lot of fun, too.
