Hey Jude - The Beatles (1968)
‘Hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders’
Deciding on a favourite Beatles song is almost impossible because of the huge range that they have produced! As McCartney melodies go, it’s direct, slamming straight into its title. And if you aren’t hooked to it already, try reading the lyrics once and you’d feel as if it was written specifically for you.
Coldplay - The Scientist (2002)

No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start’

Tears for Fears - Mad World (2020 - Father / daughter cover)
‘Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere’
Listening to a lot of 80's music these days. For the past day or so listening to English Pop Rock band Tears for Fears. Their song 'Mad World' has been on repeat. A week ago, the lead singer songwriter of Tears for Fears Curt Smith sang 'Mad World' with his daughter Diva while in quarantine. Brought back memories of other Tears for Fears songs such as 'Shout' and 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World.'
Blinding Lights - The Weeknd (2019)
‘I been on my own for long enough
Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe’
‘Blinding Lights,’ interestingly, has some similarities to ‘False Alarm” from Starboy. However, the song is predictable coming from The Weeknd. as it focuses on a topic that’s considered an ‘ace in the hole’ for him – love, relationships, etc.
Superstar - Majid Jordan (2019)
‘My heart knows wrong from right
I'm done taking advice
I don't wanna fight, no
I'm so crazy
Thinking 'bout you’

Tum mil gaye toh kya hua

If I just lay here
