Welcome to Soundbites, where we take a small sample size of niche genres to give you a taste of something new. A bite of a new sound, if you will.

To kick us off, we’ve collated some of our favourite piano songs. These tracks are beautifully melancholic, dreamy and highlights that simplicity is king when it comes to ballads. In winter, we just want to nest and hibernate, making it a good time to feel all the feelings.

You can listen to the songs in a playlist here, or try some out individually from the list below.

‘Twice‘ – Little Dragon

‘Prayer‘ – Keaton Henson

‘Asleep‘ – The Smiths

‘Grace‘ – Rose Cousins

‘You’ve Got a Friend‘ – Carole King

‘Into My Arms‘ – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

‘Mid Air‘ – Paul Buchanan

‘I’m So Tired‘ – Fugazi

Relax, and enjoy!
