This week, we're hearing the revolutionary optimism that many have found in the song I Can See Clearly Now, and how the living can find peace amongst the dead in graveyards. Alan Dein squeezes into a photobooth as it celebrates its centenary, and more than 100 years later from their first broadcast, nightingales are crooning on the Today programme in memory of cellist Beatrice Harrison.
