I'm not a big musical fan usually but having seen my 11 year old smashing it in his school show, I will never again be able to hear From Now On from the Greatest Showman without sobbing hot tears and punching the air.

It's a Fine Life from Oliver is the one one I sing most often as I enjoy something mundane like a cup of tea and a biscuit🤣 and start off on "small pleasures, small pleasures."
