What's your favorite song about letting go?

There was a time when I found this too painful to listen to.

The situation turned around, thankfully, and a couple of Christmases ago we saw Passenger do the song at the Union Chapel, duetting with Ed Sheeran as a special guest.

I'm not a huge Ed Sheeran fan, but that felt really celebratory

What song makes you feel connected to nature?

In a certain mood I might say this is my very favourite song.... although, to be honest, I wouldn't know a linnet if it bit me on the nose.

Dexys do a great version of this song, too.

What's your favorite song about second chances?

I've recently heard a different version of this, or a different song which used some of the words....but I can't find it, so this is the Dubliners take on the song. Fond memories of seeing the Dubliners....they were a great live band.

What song makes you want to stay up all night?

I'm in my 60s so nothing much makes me want to stay up late. However with the World Cup, and England's inevitable victory approaching, I will be staying up a bit later next summer. This song will be in the air as the tournament approaches.

I was listening to a podcast with Ian Broudie recently and he said that whereas this is a highlight of their set in England, they understandably don't play it in Scotland.
