    "Ohh, can't anybody see
    We've got a war to fight
    Never found our way
    Regardless of what they say"

    Portishead - Roads

    Such a simple song but so perfect.
    The iconic and instantly recognisable tremelo Rhodes at the start.
    The snappy snare on the 3 before the beat kicks in.
    Beth's beautiful and amazing voice - perfect yet gritty.
    The swell and crescendo of the strings.

    For me this song can be quite euphoric or quite a tear jerker depending on which way I let it take me.
