Western songs I want to relax and listen to on the weekend: World masterpieces and popular songs (81–90)
Lazing On A Sunday AfternoonQueen
This song exudes a steadfast determination to absolutely laze around on Sunday afternoons.
It’s “Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon” from the legendary rock band Queen, included on their masterpiece A Night at the Opera.
The eccentric week imagined by the outrageous rock star Freddie Mercury is delightful, and you’ll surely find yourself relating to his obsession with days off.
Freddie loved tearing around on a bicycle, and in this song he slyly slips in a verse about riding one.
It’s a track that feels like a comedy-heavy musical!
Feel Like Makin’ LoveRoberta Flack
Roberta Flack is one of the most prominent female singers from the 1970s neo-soul boom.
Her languid vocals remain popular and are beloved by many black music enthusiasts.
Among her works, the track I especially recommend is Feel Like Makin’ Love.
It’s one of her signature songs, crafted with a consistently languid and mellow feel throughout.
Be sure to check it out.
Stay With MeSam Smith
This is a track by Sam Smith known for his crystal-clear vocals.
It expresses a straightforward feeling: you are everything to me, I just want you by my side.
His sweet high notes seep into a weary heart.
It’s a guaranteed pick that will put you in weekend mode with just one song.
AsStevie Wonder
Singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder, who has garnered worldwide popularity with his wide-ranging musicality and distinctive vocals.
He has continued to produce timeless classics over many years, and his song “As” is a work I’d highly recommend as perfect music for a day off.
It starts with a languid, slightly ennui mood, then shifts at the chorus into a soulful, minor-key melody.
That contrast is immensely appealing, making it a great pick for those who want to relax while still lifting their spirits.
Be sure to give it a listen.
Wildest DreamsTaylor Swift
This song, included on Taylor’s first non-country album, 1989, by the popular country singer who has visited Japan many times, captures in her delicate and beautiful vocals the feelings for a lover she can now meet only in a strange dream.
