Western songs that get you pumped. Recommended up-tempo music (171–180)
Raise Your GlassP!nk
P!NK’s appeal lies in her powerful vocals, and “Raise Your Glass” showcases that brilliantly while being irresistibly upbeat.
Its sound feels like it can blow away any worries, and it’s a song I’d love to sing with a big group at karaoke.
Hard TimesParamore
A standout track from Paramore’s 2017 album After Laughter.
Hayley Williams’s uniquely bright vocals still lift listeners’ spirits.
Both the melody and her voice are upbeat, making for a lively, buoyant song!
School DaysStanley Clarke
It’s the title track from bassist Stanley Clarke’s leader album.
I’ve listened to it tens of thousands of times, and the unbelievably groovy bass—almost beyond human—never gets old.
It’s an anything-goes showcase: chordal playing, slapping, harmonics, you name it.
It’s best enjoyed with a sense of “Wow, there are people like this in the world.” For aspiring bass players in particular, it may present an extraordinarily high bar.
DONE.The Band Perry
It’s a cool track that’s very much in the style of the country band The Band Perry, packed with guitar and violin melodies while still keeping a rock edge.
Even if you don’t know The Band Perry, listening to this song will make you like them.
Somebody To You (feat. Demi Lovato)The Vamps
They became famous for posting cover songs on YouTube, gaining popularity, and making their debut.
Among their tracks, this is the one that really gets the crowd going for The Vamps.
It’s a collaboration with actress and singer Demi Lovato, and since it’s often used as background music on TV, you’ve probably heard it at least once.
