Tear-Jerking Western Songs to Sing at Karaoke: World Classics and Popular Hits (71–80)

Open ArmsMariah Carey

This song, which can be translated as “Open Arms,” is a love song, yet it conveys a sense of great warmth and support.

It was sung by the rock band Journey in 1982, but became famous through Mariah Carey’s cover.

In Japan, it was used as the theme song for the film Umizaru, which focuses on lifesaving, and I feel it perfectly serves as a message song that conveys the importance of life.

It’s a song by a diva known for singing many ballads.

Her voice is husky yet somehow clear and soaring, making it a truly pleasant listen.

If you focus on the lyrics, which are steeped entirely in a ballad mood, the song becomes even more heartrending.

CirclesPost Malone

I think it’s hard to catch the lyrics of songs in English.

With this song, “Circles,” many people might feel it sounds bright if they just listen to the melody.

The vibe is upbeat, but in fact it’s a song about losing someone important.

Please give it a listen.

Sam Smith’s biggest hit, “Stay With Me.” It’s quite a famous song, so many of you may already know it.

First of all, the melody is heartbreaking.

I recommend it to anyone looking for a deeply emotional tearjerker that distills sadness.

And if you read the lyrics, you might cry even more.

When I Was Your ManBruno Mars

It’s a sad breakup song about lingering feelings for an ex.

It’s a track by the American male singer Bruno Mars, released in 2013 as his eighth single.

The soaring vocals and gentle piano tones are memorable—you’ll want to listen to it slowly on your own.
