13. 'You Haven't Told Me Anything' by Keane (Perfect Symmetry, 2008)
14. 'I Am In Love With You' by Imogen Heap (Speak For Yourself, 2005)
15. 'Don't Speak' by No Doubt (Tragic Kingdom, 1995)
16. 'Sense Of Doubt' by David Bowie ("Heroes", 1977)
17. 'Stay (Faraway, So Close!)' by U2 (Zooropa, 1993)
Connection: Berlin. David Bowie's album was recorded in Berlin as part of his Berlin Trilogy, and U2's song is from the soundtrack to Faraway, So Close!, a film by Wim Wenders filmed and set in Berlin. No correct guesses :)
See you next week :)
