Now on to MMXI Fraser.

This song for soooooooo long has been a staple in my car journey to work every day, found it on a Northern Soul album from Morrisons for £2.99, what a bargain, and what a truly great song.

My favourite song for the past few years, i have passed it onto loads of people, so here its for you, i used to hate Natalie Merchant, still do a bit, but this song is as good as it gets.

Ne le Dis a Personne is a french film that came out in 2006, truly amazing film, this song appears in this film and was the first time i had heard it, but what a great great song. If we are talking about great songs from the film Ne le Dis a Personne, then we need to include this Otis Redding cover of the Jerry Butler classic, this song is sad sad sad but Otis can sing.
