Western songs you want to listen to leisurely on a day off: World classics and popular tracks (101–110)
I Believe I Can FlyR. Kelly
It’s a track that could be called the pinnacle of R&B ballads.
It was featured in the film Space Jam, which R.
Kelly himself created and produced.
The song won three Grammy Awards and was such a hit that it was later included on other albums as well—a true gem.
Every Breath You TakeThe Police
Koichi Hirose, a character who appears from Part 4, Diamond Is Unbreakable, through Part 5, Golden Wind, of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, owns an old dog named “Police,” whose supposed namesake is the British band The Police.
They were an unbeatable power trio of exceptional musicians—Sting, Stewart Copeland, and Andy Summers—who, within a career of less than ten years, released innovative works and achieved worldwide hits.
They have five original albums, and to feel the remarkable evolution they underwent in just a few years, I highly recommend listening to them in order of release!
Castle on the HillEd Sheeran
A coming-of-age reminiscence penned by Ed Sheeran from the UK.
Brimming with love for his hometown, it vividly portrays experiences from his childhood up to around age fifteen.
Adventures with friends, first love, and a steadfast affection for his hometown that endures into adulthood resonate alongside Sheeran’s warm vocals.
Released in January 2017, this piece captured many hearts as a track on the album ÷ (Divide).
It was also featured in the trailer for the animated film Ferdinand, drawing even more attention.
A recommended song for those who feel nostalgia or long for their youthful days.
HelloAdele
This is a track that makes the most of ADELA’s powerful, soaring vocals.
With her deep, expansive singing, it’s guaranteed to smooth out the wrinkles in your body and heart.
If this song helps you appreciate what makes ADELA great, you should try exploring her other tracks as well.
One Call AwayCharlie Puth
This song feels like Charlie’s high, beautiful voice soaks into your heart.
The lyrics are also wonderfully gentle; I’ve listened to them many times and felt warmed and encouraged.
The PV starts with Charlie’s amazingly skillful piano performance—it’s a must-see.
