Lovely Western music

[2026] A roundup of classic Western songs about Friday

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.

Speaking of Fridays, for those who have weekends off, it’s universally the day when your mood feels lighter as you head into the weekend—and many people would say Friday night is actually their favorite time of the week.

You’re probably curious how overseas artists sing about “Friday” in their own way.
