2. Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd.
I used to end my acoustic cover gigs with this one. It’s beautifully written and comes off really great by yourself on an acoustic. I spent days learning the opening lead part. “Two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl”… so great!
3. Loving Cup by The Rolling Stones.
To me, this is the Stones at their greatest. Early 70s, from “Exile On Main Street”, jangly but powerful. Such a great groove too. Love this one!
4. Imagine by John Lennon.
I still play this song every time I sit down at a piano. Perfect lyrics, perfect melody, stands the test of time. Also, somehow the message of this song still rings true. This is pure Lennon.
5. The Waiting by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
The opening line (which opens the “Hard Promises” album) is “Baby don’t it feel like heaven right now”. What a great way to open a song. Classic Petty picking part on a 12-string electric Rickenbacker, you can’t go wrong. The riff alone is inspiring, let alone the rest of the song.
