'Carnaval de Sao Vicente' by Cesaria Evora. My favourite song in the whole world, and extremely 'summery'.

Skweeki · 27/07/2016 13:57

"Sway" by Bic Runga

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 27/07/2016 14:01

'This Charming Man' by The Smiths - sounds brand new, every time I hear it (and I play it a lot!).

PhoebeGeebee · 27/07/2016 14:21

Oooh child by the five stair steps for good moods

Come pick me up by Ryan Adams for when you've been dumped and want to drink all the wine

In your atmosphere by John Mayer for guitary loveliness

My current obsession is a song called Tech Noir by Gunship. Some lovely harmonies but don't be put off by the John carpenter apocalyptic intro

Beautiful day by The Levellers
I am disappeared by Frank Turner
Waltzing along by JAMES
Days of the dance by 3 daft monkeys ( can't help but spin manically with my Ds around the room when it gets to the chorus)

Any song by Frank Turner. My favourites are Peggy Sanger the Blues, Time Machine and Reasons Not to be an Idiot.

LaundryFairy · 27/07/2016 19:26

September by Earth Wind and Fire. It is such a fabulously upbeat song!

ChameleonCircuit · 27/07/2016 19:36

Little Wonders by Rob Thomas. It's from Meet the Robinsons and it's just a really listenable song.

ChameleonCircuit · 27/07/2016 19:38

Ooh, and Good Morning Britain, by Aztec Camera

ClopySow · 27/07/2016 19:48

Dry the rain - Beta Band.

Floating - Jape.

bringbacksideburns · 27/07/2016 19:59

Too many to narrow down to one!

Lloyd Cole and the Commotions - Perfect Skin.
Sweet Jane - Velvet Underground
Hands - The Raconteurs

GirlOverboard · 27/07/2016 20:13

Run Away With Me by Carly Rae Jepsen. For when you want some uplifting pop music.

LivingInMidnight · 27/07/2016 20:31

The pressure by Jhené Aiko. She's great at making sad subjects weirdly relaxing.

Coffee by Yuna.

Sky is falling by Natalie Duncan

RaspberryOverload · 27/07/2016 20:34

Feuer Frei by Rammstein. Great for firing me up for work at 7am in the morning! Grin

MrsS1980 · 27/07/2016 20:37

Sunny by Bobby Hebb or Running on Sunshine Jesus Jackson. Make you feel happy songs

BendydickCuminsnatch · 27/07/2016 20:40

Julie-O by Mark Summers :) cellist learnt it especially for our wedding and I dream of spawning a child that can learn it and play it to me in my twilight years. It's kind of a nostalgic/romantic/this is life kind of feeling.

CherryPicking · 27/07/2016 20:40

French Navy by Camera Obscura
It's dreamy, wistful, gorgeous, yet strong and manages to squeeze in the line "You, with your dietry restrictions, said you love me with a lot of conviction".

DoctorTwo · 27/07/2016 20:43

Concierto D'Aranjuez by The Grimethorpe Colliery Brass Band .Guaranteed to make me cry.

All of Angel Dust by Faith No More. Mike Patton has the most versatile voice in rock.

The Prey by Dead Kennedys.

Glamour Boys by Living Colour. Corey Glover is the best rock vocalist ever. FACT

No Condition by Bad Brains.

Blackstar by David Bowie. A fantastic essay on celebrity, possibly my favourite Bowie song, despite it being his newest. And last. Sad

whoopthereitis · 27/07/2016 20:44

Tracey Chapman- Crossroads

VoldysGoneMouldy · 27/07/2016 20:55

Micheal Ball's version of 'Jesse'.

Free bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Reflective, sentimental, chilled.
