For All We KnowDonny Hathaway
Danny Hathaway, one of the pioneers of neo-soul and a soulful singer, tragically passed away under mysterious circumstances, yet his music is still respected by many artists today.
His song “For All We Know” is one of his hits.
Although Hathaway was a Black soul singer, his roots lay in classical music.
This track also incorporates classical elements, giving it a distinctive atmosphere.
Stand By MeBen E. King
Ben E.
King’s classic song “Stand By Me.” It’s a beloved classic around the world.
In Japan, too, I think almost everyone finds it familiar.
The title of the song means “Stay by my side” in Japanese, and it sings about friendship.
Beyond the lyrics, the melody is also extraordinary—that’s what makes this song so remarkable.
Its melody lingers in anyone’s ears, and Ben E.
King’s vocals, which resonate with everyone’s heart, soothe the soul when you’re feeling tired.
HonestyBilly Joel
Billy Joel is an artist who was active from the late 1970s to the early 1990s.
He’s known for his impressive piano skills and catchy melodies.
His song “Honesty” is very popular in Japan as well; artists like Chikuzen Sato and Angela Aki have covered it.
It features a very catchy melody, and the chorus introduces a heart-wrenching tune.
Still, it’s not a purely sad song, so give it a listen when you’re feeling tired!
CompanyRickie Lee Jones
Singer-songwriter Rickie Lee Jones, known for her distinctive lyrical sensibility, makes a strong impression.
She grew up in a harsh environment and reportedly ran away from home multiple times in her youth.
Perhaps because of that past, her lyrics aren’t just pretty words—they have a gritty realism.
Her song “Company” is a work that, while lyrically beautiful, also carries a sense of the real.
The falsetto at the end of the chorus is especially soothing—be sure to give it a listen!
Leave Me AloneMichael Jackson
Michael Jackson, the King of Pop who produced countless hits like “Thriller” and “Billie Jean.” His “Leave Me Alone” is one of his hit songs, winning awards such as Best Editing, Best Video, and Best Art Direction at the MTV Video Music Awards.
It’s like, how many awards can one song win, right? (lol) The melody has a powerful feel that evokes the late ’80s.
Definitely give it a listen! I think it’ll blow your fatigue away!
