Here’s every song on the ‘Sing Street’ soundtrack

The feelgood 2016 coming-of-age film Sing Street is coming to Netflix this week – check out the full list of songs from the film below. 

It tells the tale of Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo), a young Irish teenager who is transferred from an exclusive fee-paying school to a tougher state school, where he becomes a target for bullies and disciplinary teachers. 

For Conor, salvation lies in the new wave music being passed to him by his older brother Brendan (Jack Reynor). When Conor meets Raphina (Lucy Boynton), he forms a band so she can star in their videos, reinventing himself as the confident, cool frontman Cosmo. 

Sing Street is directed by John Carney, known for his other music-themed films Once, Begin Again and Flora and Son. 

The film went on to be nominated for the Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy award at the 2017 Golden Globes. 

Who created the original songs in Sing Street? 

Conor’s band in the film is called Sing Street. They create a number of their own songs in the narrative of the film, including ‘The Riddle of the Model’ and ‘Drive It Like You Stole It’. 

Sing Street’s songs were largely written by Gary Clark, frontman of the Scottish indie-pop band Danny Wilson, with contributions from director John Carney, as well as Ken and Carl Papenfus of the band Relish. 

There is also an original song ‘Go Now’ in the film, performed by Maroon 5 vocalist Adam Levine.
