Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Many people choose their favorite classics with the hope of experiencing emotions so moving they take your breath away through music.

Of course, values and sensibilities differ from person to person, and the kinds of songs that move us vary widely.

Still, this article brings together timeless Western hits that have touched music fans around the world, spanning eras and genres.
