Western songs to relax and listen to on your day off: World classics and popular tracks (31–40)
Shape of YouEd Sheeran
It’s a single Ed Sheeran released in 2017.
It’s a comical song about falling in love at a boxing gym, deciding to become stronger, and, in the end, fighting while wearing a suit against a sumo wrestler.
Ed’s clear, gentle vocals and the light rhythm are sure to lift your spirits.
Into YouAriana Grande
This song is included on Ariana, the popular singer who has visited Japan many times, and her album “Dangerous Woman.” I often hear it in stores.
There’s no need to explain the appeal of her beautiful high notes.
The super sexy music video is also a must-see.
Call It WhateverBella Thorne
This song by the red-haired young actress Bella is just too cute.
The tempo is great, so it makes you want to sing and dance along.
Her adorable smile and sharp dance moves in the music video are must-see.
Be sure to watch for the charming little twist at the end of the video, too.
Rainy Days And MondaysCarpenters
You can’t talk about Western music without this person.
Times may change, but her beautiful voice and clear, easy-to-listen singing never lose their luster.
Even if it rains on your day off, don’t be discouraged—why not reset your mood with this song?
You’ve Got a FriendCarole King
Carole King, the American singer-songwriter known for her gently comforting voice, has crafted a gem of a song that feels like a warm letter from an old friend.
When you’re facing loneliness or anxiety, its tender message—“You’re not alone”—soaks into the heart, carried by the soft tones of piano and acoustic guitar.
Singing of the universal theme of friendship, it slowly warms the listener’s spirit.
The track appears on the classic album Tapestry, released in February 1971.
James Taylor’s cover reached No.
1 in the U.S., and at the Grammy Awards in March 1972, King won Song of the Year.
It’s the kind of song that can make you feel warmer on a weary night or when you’re thinking of a dear friend.
