    Thanks a million everyone for the great response. You guys have posted some brilliant songs. Sure we might as well keep it going, it a very handy resource of great piano songs.
    Here's a Guy playing a good version of one of the songs from the Titanic Soundtrack I was on about on my first post. I think he is playing it a little fast, still sounds good though.

    Rose - Titanic (Piano Version)

    Wait a second dude - There's absolutely no piano-use in this classial music piece. It's purely the violin.

    Oh really? - That's very interesting. You don't have a copy of this do you? - I mean, your version of it on the piano.

    I found it in a book at home that had a collection of classical pieces that had been in films. I'm in college at the moment though so I don't know the name of the book.

    Still searching...

    Beverly Craven - Promise me
    Jewel - Foolish games

    Anyone know any upbeat songs that sound good with solo piano and voice? Billy Joel's piano man is one of the few that I know sound ok on their own

    You should try Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon by Queen.

    *Not Lazing on a Sunny Afternoon by the Kinks, in case anyone thought that, though I'm sure you didn't. :D

    Or while we're talking about Queen, why not Don't Stop Me Now or We Are the Champions.

    Campest Song Ever...."Bycycling on every Wednesday evening" indeed...:D

    Don't stop me now works well on the piano - on its own - the only frigger of it is that if you're with a group of people and they're singing along, you need to work out something to do where the solo drums kick in on the record - the 'ooh ooh ooh' bit.

    Have we done Lady Madonna by the Beatles? easy enough too, once you nail down the bassline on it
