Evergreen Classics: Timeless Songs from the Past

 

The word conjures up the memory of music as soon as we think of songs. Every year, millions of new songs come into the market in different categories and genres. However, some timeless classics belong to the 1950s, 60s, 70s, and 80s whose lyrics and compositions are unbeatable even today, despite the absence of technological enhancements effected in modern times.

Given below are the 10 best evergreen songs across the globe that still strike a chord with people:

A Nation Once Again by Wolfe Tones: Probably written in 1840 by Thomas Osborne Davis, this song relates very strongly to the Irish independence movement. In this song, its narrator visualizes an independent Ireland, calling upon all Irishmen to take up arms to free their motherland. Later re-recorded in 1972 by the Wolfe Tones, it was subsequently voted the most famous song by BBC World Service listeners.

They're more than songs—cultural jewels that have irredeably left their mark on the world. All of them are witness to this timelessness of appeal that a good lyric, when combined with great composition, can weave to prove that great music never ages.
