We all know and love Mark's songs, but what other song can you listen to that just gets to you, you can play it at anytime and it just uplifts you, even if you can't explain why, or it's by some artist you are not normally into, for me it's This is Love by George Harrison, it may not be his best known or most celebrated song, but I can listen to it again and again, I just really like, it doesn't matter why.

La Mer - Charles Trenet
Out of Time - Chris Farlowe
Bad Penny Blues - Humphrey Lyttleton

Don't have any particular songs in my mind, too many to choose from. And it always changes... Recently, I stumbled across this version of "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, " which moved me beyond belief. So I don't have go-to songs per se but always keep discovering gems like this. Classical music always works too, when you have monumental things like Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3, it's a 50-minute "song" but it always moves me.
The "As Time Goes By" album by Bryan Ferry is also a good candidate. Timeless songs, timeless recording: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_Time_Goes_By_(Bryan_Ferry_album)

Rachmaninoff No. 3 is fantastic. The pianist needs a lot of energy! ;D

Out of Time by Chris Farlowe came to my mind immediately after reading this topic. What a great voice, what a great song. I never get tired of it!

My absolute favourite version was played by video game composer Paul Romero here: https://soundcloud.com/paul-anthony-romero/romero-plays-rachmaninov (https://soundcloud.com/paul-anthony-romero/romero-plays-rachmaninov)
As I understand, this recording was a grand prize in an amateur pianist competition. Not bad for an amateur, right? But he's an incredible pianist actually, and composer. He composed some outstanding pieces of music for the Heroes Of Might And Magic series, influenced by Rachmaninoff, Richard Strauss and many others.

I'm listening to "Miracle" Willy'ego DeVille'a right now. "Nightfalls" beautiful song , one of my favorites with MK.

Amazing that it wasn't released initially, Bob was nuts sometimes.

Yes, as soon as you hear Rick play that 1st single piano note, you know it's special.

I've mostly listened to Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock, but Colour of Spring too is a phenomenal album. Strong songs and beautiful production, and more accessible than the two aforementioned albums.

A few more:
Coldplay - Fix You
Take That - Hold Up a Light
Mary Chapin Carpenter - This Shirt
Keane - Sovereign Light Café
True Love Ways - Buddy Holly
I Still Miss Someone - Chet Atkins & Suzy Bogguss

I second True Love Ways.
Also:
-Lonesome Town
-It’s a Hard Life by Queen (I’m not a huge fan of BM’s playing but that solo is “goose bumps” stuff for me.)
-Comfortably Numb by PF.
-Amazing Grace by John Newton
-And Can it Be by Charles Wesley

A whiter shade of pale by Procol Harum

Sea Fever
William Topley is not my favorite singer, but Mark played the guitar wonderfully in this song. Mark should sing on this song.

Yes, I agree, Don't Stop Me Now is always a great song to lift your mood.
Another one for me is Always with me, Always with You by Joe Satriani, I am not a fan of his over the top stuff, but this track is lovely, and very melodic.
