With new track "I Wanna Live Forever" out today, N92 cover star Alexander 23 takes us through a selection of tracks he believes are equally eternal.
“Under the Bridge” by Red Hot Chili Peppers
This song got me into guitar playing when I was a kid and somehow still sounds as fresh and inventive as it did when it came out in 1991.
“The Only Exception” by Paramore
This is the benchmark against which all other love songs are judged (by me at least). When rock bands go stripped back, it’s either insanely good or horrible - but they nailed it.
“Yeah! (feat. Lil Jon & Ludacris)” by Usher, Lil Jon, Ludacris
Turn up.
“Someone Like You” by Adele
The best song by the best singer of our generation.
“Closing Time” by Semisonic
Start playing this at any event and watch what happens. Fun fact - this is the second song in a row written by Dan Wilson.
“Here Comes The Sun” by The Beatles
This song can turn a bad mood to a smile.
“Leave The Door Open” by Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, Silk Sonic
This is me placing a bet that this song will continue to be around for years and years to come. Just a perfect record.
“Everlong” by Foo Fighters
Well maybe I should say this song will live everlong, but every time that intro guitar riff hits I’m reminded just how perfect this song is and why it will always be a classic.
“How Deep Is Your Love” by Bee Gees
From grandparents to newborn babies, weddings to bat mitzvahs, everyone loves this song.
“Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman
This is everyone’s favorite song for some phase of their life.
