Why they chose it
"It's the song I sing in the car when no one's watching."
"It's not an easy listen, but it's the truest one I've got."
"No other song comes close."
"It's tied to a place I haven't been back to in years, but never forgot."
"I want people to walk away thinking 'that was so them'."
"This is the song that makes loss feel less like an ending."
"It's the smell of my childhood home, somehow, in song form."
"It feels like it was written for exactly this moment."
"I want this to be a moment of stillness before everything moves on."
"This is the sound of everything I couldn't say to the people I lost."
"It's the song that makes sense of everything else."
"Simple. Beautiful. True."
"It's just a banger."
"My mum used to hum this in the kitchen. It's the sound of home."
"It reminds me of car journeys with my family, windows down."
"I want people to feel something, not just sit there."
"My grandmother's favourite. Hers and mine now."
"It's my way of having the last word."
"It's the song I'd want as my final word, in a way."
"It's imperfect and messy and that's the point."
