Love’s HolidayEarth, Wind & Fire

Earth, Wind & Fire – Love’s Holiday (Official Audio)

It’s a love song that could be called one of Maurice White’s signature works.

The smooth, sultry vocals leave a strong impression, and the choral work really shines.

While Earth, Wind & Fire are often known for their danceable tracks, their authentic ballads also deserve attention.

A ballad that makes you feel a deep, gentle warmth.

The whistling at the end brings me to tears.

It’s a number that stirs nostalgia, as if wishing summer would never end.

The song is by one of the members, Bruce Johnston, and his piano-and-vocal version is also lyrical and lovely.

The upbeat song “Kokomo” makes you feel like you’re in a resort.

It was released in 1988 by The Beach Boys, the original vocal group beloved in America.

The romantic story that unfolds there perfectly embodies the song itself.

Surf Wax AmericaWeezer

Surf Wax America By: Weezer

Nicknamed “crybaby rock,” Surf Wax America is a song by the American power pop band Weezer.

Its lyrics capture a pumped-up vibe—wax up your surfboard and hit the waves! While the guitars are incredibly powerful, the vocals and overall performance are poppy.

That imbalance earned high praise from musicians.

The track is also said to have influenced later genres like alternative rock and emo.
