SpaceboyThe Smashing Pumpkins
The Smashing Pumpkins are a band that epitomized the alternative rock scene of the 1990s.
Their 1993 masterpiece Siamese Dream includes a gem of a ballad that expresses deep feelings for a younger brother.
In fact, the song was written by vocalist Billy Corgan for his brother, who was born with a congenital illness.
Portraying his brother as if he were in some faraway world through the motif of “space,” it sings of an older brother’s aching love that gently accompanies that loneliness.
The ethereal, grand sound woven by Mellotron and strings movingly colors this complex inner landscape.
When you want to reflect on your bond with a sibling, why not immerse yourself in that bittersweet yet warm feeling?
SeptemberDavid Sylvian
David Sylvian, known as the former frontman of the British band Japan, has forged a uniquely artistic musical world since going solo.
Here’s a track of his that pairs beautifully with the quiet of autumn.
This piece delicately portrays an inner landscape in which lovers, seeming happy under clear skies, secretly wish for rain in their hearts.
The minimal soundscape woven by Sylvian’s wistful vocals and piano could be described as autumn itself.
Included on the album Secrets of the Beehive, released in October 1987, this brief work of about one minute features strings arranged by Ryuichi Sakamoto that leave a deep afterglow.
Why not listen to it alone on a long autumn night, when you want to sink into quiet contemplation?
Stick SeasonNoah Kahan
Noah Kahan is a singer-songwriter from Vermont and an artist known for folk-pop who rose to prominence after his posts on TikTok drew major attention.
This signature song of his, released in July 2022, was later included on the album Stick Season.
In the lyrics, set against the desolate season when all the leaves have fallen in his hometown, he expresses lingering feelings for a past love and complex nostalgia.
The sentimental melody and powerful vocals resonate deeply with listeners.
The song became a worldwide favorite, reaching number one on the UK charts.
On long autumn nights when the changing seasons bring a sense of loneliness, this track will quietly keep you company.
Someday ManPaul Williams
Songwriter Paul Williams, who provided exquisite melodies for the Carpenters and Three Dog Night.
He also found success in film music, but he left behind works that are perfect as an introduction to soft rock.
One such classic graces the title of his debut album, Someday Man.
The song portrays a protagonist who wishes to “be a somebody someday,” yet can’t quite take the first step.
That slight bittersweet theme, sung over Roger Nichols’s light, breezy arrangement, creates a memorable sense of imbalance.
The piece was originally performed by The Monkees in 1969 and was included in Paul Williams’s own debut the following year, in 1970.
It’s the perfect song to listen to on a leisurely afternoon while lost in thought.
Shape Of My HeartSting
Sting, the singer-songwriter who represents the United Kingdom.
Among his works, this may be the most beloved medium-tempo ballad in Japan.
This piece portrays the feelings of a poker player who seeks the mystery of fate rather than victory.
In the lyrics, various meanings are assigned to the suits of the cards, and in the line where he sings that hearts do not represent his own heart, you can sense the protagonist’s profound loneliness and philosophy.
This intellectual worldview is beautifully expressed by Dominic Miller’s wistful guitar riff.
Included on the 1993 album “Ten Summoner’s Tales,” the song is also widely known as the ending theme of the film “Léon: The Professional.” Be sure to check it out alongside the film’s moving finale.
Shake DatChief Keef
Chief Keef, a pioneering figure who propelled Chicago-born hardcore rap “drill” into the mainstream, released the album Almighty So 2 in May 2024.
This time, however, he reveals a cheerful side that differs from his traditionally aggressive image.
The track is a bona fide party tune crafted by producer Mustard, built to shake the floor.
It samples a song by the Ying Yang Twins, icons of 2000s Southern rap, and its addictive beat will make anyone want to move.
After going viral on social media, it was released in August 2025—on his 30th birthday—a thoroughly contemporary trajectory.
It’s a perfect pick not only for weekend club nights but also as a mood-boosting soundtrack for a drive.
Spit XXVKittie
Kittie, a band that loomed large in the late-’90s nu-metal scene, cemented their place with over two million records sold worldwide.
They’ve now released a newly recorded version to commemorate the 25th anniversary of their 1999 debut, Spit.
This new take elevates the original’s defiant spirit and raw, purging impulse into a more powerful, modern metal sound.
The contrast between Morgan Lander’s roars and clean vocals is even sharper, showcasing the band’s evolution.
For those who discovered them through their 2024 comeback album, Fire, this track is an irresistible way to experience both their roots and where they are now at the same time.
