I’m not necessarily talking about my favourite tracks, or even about music that I regularly listen to.  I’m talking about tracks that spark memories and emotions, music that grabs me and shakes me up.  Don’t bother talking to me when any of these tracks are playing; I’ll be too busy ‘having a moment’.



1) Underworld – Born Slippy
 Quite probably the greatest piece of electronic music that will ever be written.

2) Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger

An anthem for old friends, filled with memories of growing up, moving out and inevitably moving on.

3) New Radicals - You Get What You Give
Don’t let go
You’ve got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through

Don’t those lyrics just say, well, everything that needs to be said?

4) Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner
This vocal is, quite simply, haunting.  Here are two versions, the remix that you probably know and the original that you probably don’t.

5) Robbie Williams - Feel
Don’t judge until you have closed your eyes and listened to the full 4min 33secs!  This is a song about broken hearts, mis-directed dreams and travelling an emotional road, wondering if you will ever find a place where not only are you welcome but where you truly want to stop.
