Western songs to listen to when you feel lonely: World classics and popular tracks (71–80)
SadMaroon 5
With Maroon 5’s pleasing high-register vocals and a lightly effected bright piano, this is a very easy-to-listen-to ballad.
It’s a unique track that, while refreshing, somehow evokes a touch of sadness, leaving you with a complex mix of emotions.
Let her goPassenger
It’s a breakup song about her.
It makes you think that you mustn’t take the happiness right in front of you for granted.
You might feel you don’t need the sun when it’s hot, but when it’s cold you realize you do.
I think it’s a song that makes you reflect not only on love, but on life as well.
No More Lonely NightsPaul McCartney
The Japanese title “Hitoribocchi no Lonely Night” is a single by Paul McCartney released in 1984.
The song was also included on the album “Give My Regards to Broad Street.” It’s a gentle love ballad with a slightly melancholic mood that’s very characteristic of Paul.
When Paul says, “I don’t want another lonely night!” his straightforward words convey the loneliness so clearly.
Lonely AvenueRay Charles
A song written by Doc Pomus.
It was released as a single in 1956.
It is said to have been one of the first songs The Beatles rehearsed when they started as a group.
The song has been covered by many artists, including the Everly Brothers and Los Lobos.
Only the Lonely (Know the Way I Feel)Roy Orbison
A song created by Roy Orbison and lyricist Joe Melson.
It was originally intended to be offered to Elvis Presley and the Everly Brothers, but after the Everly Brothers persuaded him, Orbison recorded it himself.
With its sharp lyrics about loneliness and his soulful voice, it became his biggest hit.
The Sounds of SilenceSimon&Garfunkel
A masterpiece that sings of the profound meaning hidden within silence.
The crystal-clear harmonies of Simon & Garfunkel resonate deeply with listeners.
The lyrics, which sharply capture the society of the 1960s, continue to strike a chord with many people today.
The song was included on their 1964 debut album, Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M., but a new rock-arranged version released the following year reached No.
1 in the United States.
It conveys themes such as communication breakdown and loneliness, set to a gentle melody.
It’s a track you’ll want to hear when reflecting deeply or contemplating human relationships.
All You Need Is LoveThe Beatles
This is a song by The Beatles that was very popular around the world.
The gentle tones of the instruments give you a sense of calm.
Since it’s a ballad like a love song, I think it’s a piece whose expression changes depending on the listener.
