Things Can Only Get Better--- wasn't that the Blair number...many thought it was the portent of doom..
Yep keyboards performed by Professor Brian Cox of CERN and BBC fame and chosen to be Blair's election theme tune for the '97 general election.

Can we get some consensus on whether 15 should be happy or sad, I could work with either?
The guy that wrote it claimed the lyrics were meant to make people smile .

14 has a sad title but it's not what you call a sad song so...?
I was only going by the title, but you're right, it is a happy song
Still don't get the optimism instilled by ship breaking...but others have rushed on...
01 - Unforgettable - Nat King Cole
02 - I Don't Remember - Peter Gabriel
03 - I Can't Forget - Leonard Cohen
I assume unforgettable = memorable, and, don't remember = forgettable, so, can't forget= memorableWhat about memorable VS forgettable, again in alternating themes.
