Western songs to listen to when you feel lonely: World-famous classics and popular tracks (61–70)
Back for GoodTake That
Known as one of Take That’s signature songs, this moving ballad portrays regret over a lost love and a yearning for reconciliation.
Released in March 1995, it held the number-one spot on the UK Singles Chart for four consecutive weeks.
Gary Barlow’s heartfelt vocals brilliantly convey the pain of heartbreak and the powerful desire to be with a loved one again.
Included on the album “Nobody Else,” the song became a massive hit, reaching number one in 31 countries worldwide.
It’s recommended listening when you want to soothe the pain of a breakup or reaffirm your bond with someone special.
Ain’t No SunshineBill Withers
One of Bill Withers’ signature songs alongside “Lean on Me.” The repeated “I know, I know…” section is famous.
The strings oddly match the strongly bluesy feel, and although it’s a short song, it conveys a grand sense of scale.
AlwaysBon Jovi
Even a handsome guy like Jon Bon Jovi sings clingy, lovesick songs like this one, which makes him feel more relatable.
As a piece of music it’s excellent too—a cool track featuring his soaring vocals.
The music video is also brimming with Jon’s charm.
You’re beautifulJames Blunt
It’s a very beautiful melody and a song that’s widely loved in 11 countries around the world.
It even became a hot topic in commercials.
But actually, it’s quite the heartbreak song.
The lyrics are about bumping into his girlfriend on the subway, and once you know that, the word “beautiful” somehow starts to feel a bit sad.
By the way, about the music video—it looks really cold.
It’s fine to watch in the heat of summer, but in winter it gives you a bit of a chill.
To Be With YouMr. BIG
A song to encourage a heartbroken girl.
Even among Mr.
BIG’s British hard rock repertoire, this one is a rare pop tune.
I imagine many girls would love to be comforted like this.
Sing it to a girl who’s feeling down.
A Whiter Shade Of PaleProcol Harum
It’s a song with a deeply nostalgic vibe, and anyone who loves the ’60s–’70s will definitely be moved to tears.
The distinctive synthesizer sound will undoubtedly pierce your heart.
As it builds toward the latter half, it gradually brings the tears on, so take your time, listen closely, have a good cry, and feel refreshed.
You Could Be HappySnow Patrol
Whether one takes this song as whiny or as bittersweet yet beautiful depends on the listener.
The lyrics are entirely in the first person, almost like a monologue.
The band Snow Patrol has a relentless dedication to their performance in pursuit of beautiful melodies.
This song evokes the clear, deep winter snow and puts you in a poetic mood.
