1) Beady Eye – For anyone
Love the simplicity and the old-school feel to this song. It’s so Beatle-esque and it’s just a fantastic song.
2) Oasis – Cast No Shadow
Beautiful little song.

4) Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds – Stop the clocks
This is almost like a Part 2 to ‘Champagne Supernova’. Great ending track.

5) Phil Collins – You’ll be in my heart
One of my favourite of Phil’s amazing collection of songs. The perfect ending to the ‘Tarzan’ movie and a truly beautiful song. One of the greatest love songs ever written.
6) All Saints – Pure Shores
I watched ‘The Beach’ (the movie in which this song is included) and fell in love with this song all over again. SO summery.
7) Take That – The Garden
One of Take That’s finest songs of their career. It’s a beautiful, inspiring song and it’s lovely to hear all the boys have lead vocals on it.

8) Robbie Williams – Me and my monkey
Robbie’s lyrics have always been some of the best and this song features storytelling as its finest. Very clever lyrically and a fantastic song overall. ‘Escapology’ was an incredible moment in Robbie’s career.
9) Ellie Goulding – This love will be your downfall
Another fantastic, well-produced track from Ellie’s ‘Lights’ album.
10) Ellie Goulding – The Writer
I’ve always loved this song. It’s truly beautiful and it’s one of her most underrated songs in my opinion. Great to play on the piano.
