This song, a signature track by Crowded House—an Australian band formed by New Zealand singer-songwriter Neil Finn—is one you’d love to receive from a man on a refreshing White Day.

Rather than expressing love outright, it sings, “Don’t dream it’s over,” so it’s a choice that works beyond White Day as well.

Still, its uplifting sound is sure to elevate the love between the two of you.

It’s a bit old and a bit too distinctive, but if you want to set a masculine mood on White Day night, this kind of selection could work.

It’s a track by David Bowie, the emperor of ’80s glam rock, and it opens with: “Let me put my arm around your head.

Let’s go to bed.

Don’t forget to turn on the light.

Don’t laugh.

Baby, it’s all right.” If you follow the lyrics and act a little boldly, make sure you don’t end up turning the girl off.

The legendary singer-songwriter Donny Hathaway helped fuel the Neo Soul boom of the 1970s.

During the time he was active, severe anti-Black discrimination was still a major issue in the United States.

Even in that era, he actively collaborated with white artists and gave courage to many listeners.

Among his many classics, “Love, Love, Love” is a particularly popular ballad that has earned high praise around the world.

Its romantic soul vibe makes it a perfect recommendation for White Day!
