Suggest me some songs to arrange

eggiation.
Could be quite effective using the violin in place of the keyboard at the beginning

Yes, this one has been on my mind to do, actually. It's only the surfeit of 90s songs already in the locker that is making me delay it. I will get round to it at some point though. Bittersweet symphony is another.
