The overseas drama Cold Case, which was also remade in Japan starring Hiroshi Yoshida, used this song in Season 4, Episode 6, “The Record.” I assumed it was a cover of an oldies tune, but it turns out it’s actually an original song for the show.

A slow number with an intoxicating vibe.

Run For The RosesDan Fogelberg

A song said to have been created as the theme for the Kentucky Derby, held each year in the U.S.

state of Kentucky.

Fittingly, it brims with love for horses, and listening to it warms the heart.

With its country-folk vibe, it might be perfect for a slow weekend morning.

Yankee RoseDavid Lee Roth

A single from his first solo album following his departure from Van Halen.

Featuring the powerhouse lineup of Steve Vai on guitar and Billy Sheehan on bass, it’s a comically cool, over-the-top track that leaves a strong impression.

And of course, “Yankee Rose” refers to a gorgeous woman.
