Recommended Western songs for when you want to be healed and relax (11–20)
How sweet it isJames Taylor
James Taylor is a musician who has made his mark in American music history and has been active since the 1960s.
One of his signature works is the 1975 song “How Sweet It Is.” It’s a wonderful number with a pastoral, pleasant tone.
It feels powerful yet comforting, as if vast American landscapes unfold before your eyes.
The lyrics are filled with happiness, and it seems to instantly brighten your mood.
It’s truly a reassuring classic that helps you relax and let your shoulders drop.
Seven Days in Sunny JuneJamiroquai
When it comes to Jamiroquai, the image is of a band that releases lots of stylish, cool tracks, but this song, released in 2005, feels unusually natural for them—like something that evokes a sunny daytime vibe.
June is a tough rainy season in Japan, but in the UK it conjures the image of a wonderful early summer.
True to the title “Seven Days in June,” it’s also fun that the music video shows seven different outfits.
BaGoldmund
“Ba,” a track created under the Goldmund moniker by American musician Keith Kenniff.
It might be the kind of recording that makes you exclaim, “What is this?!” on first listen, yet somehow it’s moving.
For the theme of music to relax to, I think it’s the perfect choice—how about you? Goldmund has many other tracks that are ideal for times when you want to focus as well, so I hope you’ll enjoy his work by the album.
EVERYTHING’S GONNA BE ALRIGHTSweetbox
This is a song by the German unit Sweetbox, released in 1997, which samples the famous classical piece Air on the G String.
It was also a hit in Japan and is often used in bridal scenes.
Following the success of this song, Sweetbox released many tracks that sampled classical music.
The title, which means “Everything will be all right,” seems to encourage us to relax and let go of stress.
The WayAriana Grande
Here is the song that Ariana Grande released in 2013 featuring rapper Mac Miller.
It traces Big Pun’s 1998 R&B hit “Still Not a Player.” Her glossy, powerful voice lends the track a different hue and seems to add another kind of brilliance.
In addition, the contrast between Ariana’s voice and Mac’s voice and textures makes the song more complex.
