Here’s another ‘Fiver’ list for you. This time it’s five tracks that have that inexplicable ability, through their wonderful beauty and sadness, to plunge a hot poker into my [normally stone] heart and make it feel broken all over again

1. ‘Shadow’ - Beady Belle
2. ‘Fast Car’ - Tracy Chapman
3. ‘A Dream for Us’ - The Appleseed Cast
4. ‘To Build a Home’ - The Cinematic Orchestra
5. ‘Together We Will Live Forever’ - Clint Mansell, Kronos Quartet, & Mogwai

Extra Special Sixth Bonus Track: Overplaying has desensitized me to it, but ‘Freshman’ by The Verve Pipe deserves to be on this list too.
