"I'm free to be whatever I choose." The ultimate anthem for letting go, embracing freedom, and finding the epic in the mundane. That iconic string section bridge is a pure musical hug.
Whatever
This track is a classic for a reason! It’s an epic power ballad about living life on your own terms. And yes, that Tommy and Gina reference still gives me chills.
It's My Life by Bon Jovi from Crush
Oasis at their most majestic. It's a powerful Soft Rock ballad that feels instantly nostalgic. When those opening chords hit, you know you're in for a truly epic, cinema-worthy moment.
Don't Look Back in Anger
When you need that emotional, slightly rough-around-the-edges comfort. This song is a beautifully stripped-back anthem that feels like an intimate late-night conversation. It’s the perfect blend of sentiment and sincerity.
Wish You Were Here
A beautifully melancholic song that manages to feel both intimate and massive. This track is a crucial piece of the Soft Rock/Alternative Ballad landscape, guaranteed to give you chills every time John Rzeznik sings the chorus.
Iris
Bridging classic rock and epic ballads. While this track predates the Post-Grunge/Pop-Punk era, its sincerity and massive, melodic sound fit perfectly alongside Nickelback and Oasis. All-time great.
Heaven by Bryan Adams from Reckless
This song is the definition of beautiful regret. It hits differently when you're thinking about a past 'what if.' It’s the raw, acoustic comfort I listen to on repeat when I’m staring out the window and feeling that punch of nostalgia.
December
My secret Indonesian find from two years ago! This song is a raw, emotional declaration of heartbreak the kind that hits hard with that familiar post-grunge/rock ballad intensity. A perfect gem you absolutely need to hear.
Burn Me Nicely
An absolute rush of melody and energy! This is the perfect blend of catchy pop hooks and sharp alternative rock. It's the essential Paramore track from the Riot! era proof that rock can be both fierce and incredibly fun.
That's What You Get by Paramore from Riot!
The definitive post-grunge anthem of the 2000s. This song perfected the powerful, moody rock ballad formula: massive guitars, intense emotion, and a chorus that hits you like a truck. An essential track for any rock playlist.
How You Remind Me by Nickelback - Best of Vol.1
Avenged Sevenfold’s beautiful acoustic country ballad. This track strips away the metal for raw emotion, storytelling, and an undeniable Western feel. It’s the perfect, heartfelt campfire song that surprisingly came from a metal band.
Gunslinger song by Avenged Sevenfold [Explicit]
Another must-hear from this Indonesian band. This one is pure melodic drama—a sincere vow to protect the one you love, no matter the cost. It's the perfect song for those deep, late-night emotional lows. Listen close to those heartbreaking, hopeless ...
Queen of the Night
This track is pure melancholic gold. It strips down the Linkin Park sound to a beautiful, acoustic core, capturing the feeling of being fragile and alone, yet totally at peace. Essential listening for deep thoughts and long nights.
CASTLE OF GLASS by Linkin Park - LIVING THINGS
When you need a song that understands the battle you're facing. The raw, honest lyrics and soaring dual vocals create a feeling of monumental, emotional release. It's powerful, sincere, and perfectly blends the grit of post-grunge with cinematic melo...
Darkness Before The Dawn
A stunning, cinematic rock ballad. The piano and subtle string arrangements give this track a huge, epic feeling that swells with emotion. If you appreciate the massive sound of Linkin Park's softer side, this K-Rock gem will hit you right in the sou...
Trauma (From 'The Rose: COME BACK TO ME') by The Rose
Pure musical perfection for a rainy day or a late-night drive. It’s warm, sincere, and has a melody that feels like a comforting embrace. A timeless track that defines the smooth, massive-scale romantic rock era.
Please Forgive Me by Bryan Adams - Anthology
A quintessential Soft Rock anthem that perfectly fits between the vulnerability of Bryan Adams and the heavy emotion of Nickelback. A must-have track that proved post-grunge bands could write a tender, epic ballad.
