so for an assignment, we were asked to come up with seven songs, each going with the different stages. my question to you is, what songs would you put for each? i need a large variety of music and i'd love to hear your opinions thnx!

1- cleans/ tidies up

2- were

3-would be

4- had known

5-takes

6-must be/ have to be/should be
