You decided to surfaceâŚ
This piece, composed by Richard Blair-Oliphant and played by the BBC Orchestra, replaced the long-running âArthurâ theme for the 2010 election and has been used for all subsequent BBC election coverage. At first I didnât particularly like it because of what it was replacing. However itâs really grown on me and I havenât been able to get it out of my head for the last few days. It has all the gravitas and drama necessary for election nights. In an era where television has shamefully abandoned the concept of great theme music, this is a very welcome modern addition.

Not sure if this is quite âsmashingâ but I like it so Iâll post it here.
Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks
Came on a playlist today, probably my favourite oasis song, Liamâs voice at its best. The chorus line âwhile weâre living, the dreams we have as children fade awayâ meant something when I was 21, itâs kinda weird listening to it at 41.

As fine of a song as you are likely to hear.
The Rip - Portishead
Thats a fantastic line.
Lived in a bubble, days were never ending, we werenât concerned about what life was sending.
Good lyrics alright.
Norah Jones does a strangely compelling tribute to Chris Cornell
Making a Spotify playlist of songs from this thread that Iâm not familiar with, mixed results so far but Iâve heard some real quality.
The mountain goats are great @Turenne
Really? I think they are bang average with a scattering of good tunes.
