1 Stop this train by John Mayer: “So scared of getting older, I’m only good at being young, so I play the numbers game, to find a way to say that life has just begun”. Add to this superb songwriting, his mellow voice, and well, life seems more sorted anyway.

2 In my life by The Beatles: They were masters of the lyric, and this song, to me, talks about knowing the people who stand behind you and love you after everyone is gone. “Though I know I’ll never lose affection, for people and things that went before... In my life, I love you more.”
