A track from the 2010 studio album “Teenage Dream.” The lyrics, sung over an upbeat sound, read like a diary addressed to a former lover who was adored so deeply that the idea of breaking up was unimaginable.

Perhaps it’s precisely because of the happiness felt when your feelings first connected that the sadness and loneliness at the time of parting become all the more profound.

A track from Radiohead’s landmark album OK Computer.

Betrayal, laziness, setting people up… It’s a song with a very deep theme that sings about the sinfulness that inevitably resides in the human heart.

As artists from the U.K., where a bourgeois mindset still lingers, it also conveys their anger toward the upper classes.
