ME! (feat. Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco)Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift shifted from a country-music style to pop.
“ME! (feat.
Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco)” is one of her signature songs, and in the United States it’s commonly treated as a staple for school entrance ceremonies.
It’s a track crafted with a catchy melody.
My ReplyThe Ataris
A track created by vocalist Christopher Lowe under the themes of “a break with the past” and “a new beginning.” Among punk bands, they’ve performed in Japan quite often, so many listeners here may already be familiar with them.
With his slightly youthful appearance and deep, mature voice, the melody line is so beautiful you wouldn’t think it was from a punk band.
FireworkKaty Perry
Let’s show everyone your true worth.
That’s the message packed into this song by pop singer Katy Perry.
The arrangement builds from live instruments and gradually raises the energy, making it a track that inspires you to do your best starting tomorrow.
I Ain’t WorriedOneRepublic
I Ain’t Worried, which means “I’m not worried at all,” is a recommended song by OneRepublic, a rock band formed in the U.S.
in 2002.
The repeatedly featured whistling melody is striking, and many listeners will probably think, “I know that whistling phrase!” when they hear it.
Ryan Tedder’s refreshing vocals are also perfect for the celebratory stage of a school entrance ceremony.
How about using this song to get in the mood for the big day?
Suddenly I SeeKT Tunstall
Scottish singer-songwriter KT Tunstall.
This song is one of her signature tracks and was used in the film The Devil Wears Prada—a quintessentially uplifting anthem.
With a beautiful melody reminiscent of British power pop and her powerful vocals, it’s sure to give you a push toward a fresh new start.
