Let's celebrate Seal. He's talented, his shows are life-affirming, and he's married to Heidi Klum. We look at his top five moments in song.

The first time I saw Seal live I remember thinking: If I could see Seal every night I would be a happy, positive, well-adjusted person. Turns out that 10 years of therapy got me there anyway, and perhaps for the same price.

Getting an injection of his live show on Friday, 6th July reminded me how great his music is, and especially certain moments in his music.

Here are my favourites:

"Killer" from Seal (1991)
3:45 into song
"The way we wanna be...yeoh!" - and then the crazy drums kick in

"Bring it On" from Seal (1994)
:44 into song
"Life goes on now" - such a beautifully resigned melody

"Human Beings" from Human Beings (1998)
1:10 into song
"Please human being" - the start of the chorus, which makes this song (and album)

"Beginnings" from Seal (1991)
From the beginning - the first thing we ever heard from Seal

"Fly Like an Eagle" from the Spacejam Soundtrack (1998)
Honestly, who would have thought this would happen?
