Key West (Philosopher Pirate)Bob Dylan
In June 2020, Rough and Rowdy Ways, his first album of original material in eight years, was released.
Among its tracks, one stands out in particular: a meditative ballad that runs for about nine and a half minutes.
Carried by gentle waves of accordion and Hammond organ, Bob Dylan’s weathered voice leads listeners to the southernmost island of Florida.
The lyrics are sprinkled with names like President McKinley and the Beat poets, letting American history and literature intersect like a mirage.
Its high acclaim is evident from Rolling Stone naming it the No.
2 Best Song of 2020.
Since November 2021, it has continued to be performed as a core repertoire piece on his world tour.
It’s a song I recommend for those quiet nights when you want to be alone with your thoughts and surrender yourself to the slow passage of time.
Knockin’ on Heaven’s DoorBob Dylan
This is a song written by Bob Dylan for director Sam Peckinpah’s 1973 Western film, “Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.” It was crafted to accompany a scene in which a mortally wounded deputy sheriff spends his final moments watched over by his wife, and its lyrics—quietly portraying the emotions of someone facing death—are deeply moving.
The gentle sound of acoustic guitar layered with gospel-style chorus creates a solemn yet warm atmosphere that leaves a strong impression.
The song was included on the soundtrack album “Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid,” released in July of the same year, and became a hit, peaking at No.
12 on the U.S.
Billboard Hot 100.
Covered by many artists, including Eric Clapton and Guns N’ Roses, it has continued to be loved across generations.
It’s a song that offers quiet companionship when you want to reflect on life’s turning points or partings with loved ones.
Keep Holding OnAvril Lavigne
Avril Lavigne, the Canadian singer-songwriter who debuted in her teens and continues to captivate fans worldwide as the “Queen of Pop Punk.” Her power ballad, released in November 2006 as the theme song for the film Eragon, was also included on her album The Best Damn Thing.
The song carries a message of never giving up, no matter how hard things get, and moving forward while supporting one another with someone you cherish.
Its grand sound, built on rich strings and live instrumentation, stirs the listener’s heart.
Certified Platinum in the United States and peaking at No.
17 on the Billboard Hot 100, it earned high acclaim.
As you reach the milestone of graduation and want to express gratitude to friends and mentors before parting ways, this song will gently give you a push.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking the courage to take a new step forward!

KlickThomas Brinkmann
Thomas Brinkmann, known for his unique approach of treating records as instruments, is a German producer and a cult-favorite maverick of minimal techno.
He is also known for contributing music to the film John & Jane, and his technique of scratching grooves into records to create loops has had a major impact.
His classic 2000 release, Klick, can be seen as the culmination of that method.
While its austere sound is built on regularly inscribed clicks and noise, the subtle misalignments that generate its groove are strangely funky, drawing listeners ever deeper into its sonic world with each play.
It’s an ideal record for nights when you want to quietly focus on the particles of sound, all by yourself.
Know YouKevin Atwater
Kevin Atwater is a New York–based singer-songwriter who first gained attention on TikTok.
After releasing the EPs “retriever” in 2022 and “Downers Grove” in 2023, he dropped his debut album “Achilles” in March 2025.
He’s steadily building support for his delicate portrayals of love and inner conflict from a queer perspective.
His new song, released in November 2025, marks an important track heralding a new chapter after the album.
While physically intimate yet emotionally distant, the song captures a bittersweet relationship, with his gentle vocals conveying the urgent desire to truly know the other person, even as he’s buffeted by them.
The minimalist, spacious production by Hazy Eyes is exceptional, too, making this an intimate love song where his whisper-like voice reaches you directly.
KnikPortugal. The Man
Grammy-winning rock band Portugal.
The Man will release their tenth album, SHISH, in November 2025.
Having transitioned from a major label to an independent setup, the band crafted this work around the theme of returning to their Alaska roots.
One of the tracks on the album bears a title derived from an Alaskan place name.
Its lyrics depict coastal phenomena like bore tides and tidal flats, interweaving the bodily sensation of sinking into mud with a gaze reaching for the lights of the harbor.
Psychedelic guitars, downtempo beats, and expansive synths layer together to create a sound where roaring intensity and quiet serenity coexist.
Highly recommended for those who want to feel both the weight and pride of living within an overwhelming natural environment.
KILLA (ft. Pabllo Vittar, Isabella Lovestory)VICTORIA
A dance music project by Victoria De Angelis, who achieved worldwide success as the bassist of Måneskin, under her solo name.
Released in November 2025, this work is a border-crossing club anthem featuring Brazilian drag queen singer Pabllo Vittar and Honduras-born Isabella Lovestory.
Its dynamic beat fuses baile funk and reggaeton, layered with a message of woman-centered empowerment and sensuality, packing over two minutes of distilled energy that sets the floor ablaze.
Showcasing her knack for translating the low-end sensibilities honed in a rock band into club sound, this track shines as a perfect pick for anyone who wants to dance beyond genre boundaries!
