10. Inside Out – Duster

This won’t be the last time you see Duster on one of these, and if you listen, you’ll hear why.

9. Changes – 2Pac

Sometimes, renditions are better than originals.

I said sometimes.

8. Friday I’m In Love – The Cure

Sounding as though it was made in the 80s, The Cure’s earworm could not have a more agreeable message; it may just be the one thing that could bring us all together.

7. Kiss Me – Sixpense None The Richer

Simple, innocent, and cute, with some beautiful suspensions.

6. #3 – Aphex Twin

Just drift.

5. God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters (ft. Vikingur Ólafsson) (Reprise) – MOBY

Perhaps an overused term, but MOBY was nothing short of ahead of his time.

4. Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) – Green Day

The end of something long and good.

.

3. Iris – Goo Goo Dolls

The first time I ever heard this song was, embarrassingly, from a sped-up version on TikTok. But then I gave it a proper listen.

And I never looked back.

2. Fade Into You – Mazzy Star

Understated, which always hurts more.

1. See You Soon – Coldplay

Perfecto.
