Post-Oscar week, it is only fitting that my top two would be songs featured in movies

2. My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion (1997) I love how the Celtic adaptation creates mood to fit the film.

3. Any Day Now - Chuck Jackson (1962) "And my wild, beautiful bird; you will have flown .." very neat line
