One Way TicketLeAnn Rimes
Included on her second album “Blue,” released in 1996 by the prodigious country singer who debuted at 13 and quickly captured attention across America.
A quality country song that maintains an up-tempo pace throughout, delivered with a powerful vocal performance that’s hard to believe came from a 14-year-old at the time.
A Design For LifeManic Street Preachers
Included on their fourth album, Everything Must Go, which was released in the wake of the tragedy of member Richey’s disappearance.
Issued as the lead single, it reached number one on the UK charts.
Deliberately shedding the darker image of the previous work, the song brims with the energy of their decision to move forward positively.
Take It BackPink Floyd
Included on the 1994 album The Division Bell.
On this second release since Roger Waters’ departure, newly appointed bandleader David Gilmour fully showcases his songwriting sensibilities.
The track possesses an exhilarating quality that transcends the bounds of progressive rock and was later released as a single.
NightswimmingR.E.M.
Included on the 1992 release Automatic for the People.
With its simple piano accompaniment, a touch of orchestration, and above all Michael Stipe’s poignant vocals, this song evokes the end of summer and the beginning of autumn for the listener.

We’re all aloneRITA COOLIDGE
It’s a hit number from the 1970s.
From the intro, it’s filled with a soothing mood, and I’m sure this song is gentle.
Rita has a low singing voice for a female singer, but that quality is comforting and reassuring.
Don’t worry, I’m right here by your side…
The calm melody and words almost bring me to tears.
Thank YouSly & The Family Stone
A track with funky cutting guitar that will make you want to start dancing.
It’s one of the many signature songs by the legendary group, Sly & The Family Stone.
When you’re exhausted and can’t get anything done, why not refresh your mood with this song?
King Of PainThe Police
Included on The Police’s final studio album, Synchronicity, released in 1983.
While they initially performed in a punk band style at their debut, this track demonstrated that they were in fact a professional ensemble with deep musicality and high-level skill.
The xylophone played by Stewart Copeland leaves a strong impression.
