I really enjoy Crucial Tracks. Something about it chimes with the way my brain works, or something
These are the Crucial Tracks for the last few days…..it’s a fairly mainstream set of songs, but none the worse for that !
What's your favorite song about moving forward?
"Autobahn (Live)" by Kraftwerk
Hopefully you only move forwards on an Autobahn...and the song has a feeling of moving along, I think.
I prefer the live version because I like to hear the cheering

"Now And Then" by The Beatles
I didn't listen to this song properly when it came out, but I heard Switched on Pop - The Beatles: "Now and Then" and Forever recently and it made me appreciate the song much more. I found the podcast quite moving in itself.
One of the bits they pointed out was that there is a count of 1-2 at the start, rather than the usual 1-2-3-4….and they suggested that was a reference to the number of remaining Beatles

"Silver" by Bethany Eve
Child #1 was always musical, but I didn't know she could sing until I heard this
