Readers recommend: songs about parks

Life's a case of swings and roundabouts, isn't it? But parks, meanwhile, have a lot more to them. There's grass, and trees, and … well, I don't need to spell it out. We all like a public park.

We use parks in a variety of ways. Parks are the venue for meetings with lovers, for solo contemplation, or for a host of other things. So which songs involve parks?

Post your suggestions below and we'll gather some of the best ones in a playlist published at guardian.co.uk/readersrecommend next Thursday.

* If you can think of a good theme for Readers Recommend, please email jon.dennis@guardian.co.uk

* Listen to others' suggestions and add yours to a collaborative Spotify playlist

* Guide to "donds", "zedded", and other strange words used by some of the RR regulars (courtesy of the Marconium)

* The Marconium (blog containing a wealth of data on RR, including the songs that are "zedded")

* The 'Spill (blog for the RR community)

Please do:

* Post your nominations before midday on Tuesday if you wish them to be considered.

* Write a few lines advocating the merits of your choices.

But please don't:

* Post more than one third of the lyrics of any song.

* Simply list your nominations. We want to know why you like these songs, and why they're apt for the theme.
