#1 favorite song

[whothrewthecake]

i'm trapped in my house cuz austin is having an ice "storm." and my roommate is gone. so i'm starting this thread.

what is your #1 favorite song ever and you can only pick ONE.
mine is "laughing" by david crosby because i can listen to it when i'm happy or sad and it makes me cry. it's perfect for cold or hot weather. it's my favorite song of all time. i push it on all my friends but they end up better for it.

[megisnotreal]

this is hard, because, well... it just is; however, after much consideration, i have reached a conclusion: my #1 favourite song is suite judy blue eyes from crosby, stills, nash, and young...

It's getting to the point where I'm no fun anymore
I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud
I am lonely

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard

Remember what we've said and done and felt about each other
Oh, babe have mercy
Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
I am not dreaming

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Tearing yourself away from me now you are free
And I am crying
This does not mean I don't love you I do that's forever
Yes and for always

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard

Something inside is telling me that I've got your secret
Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock and laughter the key to your heart
And I love you

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard
And you make it hard

Friday evening
Sunday in the afternoon
What have you got to lose?

Tuesday morning
Please be gone I'm tired of you
What have you got to lose?

Can I tell it like it is? (Help me I'm sufferin')
Listen to me baby
It's my heart that's a sufferin' it's a dyin' (Help me I'm dyin')
And that's what I have to lose (To lose)

I've got an answer
I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?

Will you come see me
Thursdays and Saturdays?
What have you got to lose?

Chestnut brown canary
Ruby throated sparrow
Sing a song, don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow

Voices of the angels
Ring around the moonlight
Asking me said she so free
How can you catch the sparrow?

Lacy lilting lady
Losing love lamenting
Change my life, make it right
Be my lady

Que linda me la traiga Cuba
La reina de la Mar Caribe
Cielo sol no tiene sangreahi
Y que triste que no puedo vaya oh va, oh va

i respect you two.
i could never
ever
ever
do that.
and i'm not just saying that.
i just thought for about twenty minutes and i realized i can never say.  i can name a second favorite, though, which leaves an opening for first favorite, which means anything can go in there at any time.
but that's defeating the purpose.
and i dont' even know a second favorite.

bye.

Wow, uhhhh....

I'll say there's a song that always makes me feel better no matter where I am or what I am doing.

Penny Lane-The Beatles

[leatherman]

Mine is probably Neil Young w/ The Band doing "Helpless" from the Last Waltz.  I watch this atleast 4 or 5 times a week, listen to it probably 10 times  a week.

[dragonboy]

We had the same thread...a year or so ago? can't remember when...
Anyway, I decided then that I would have to go with Patsy Cline's cover of Crazy.
Choosing one fav song is damn near impossible but Crazy has been one of my fav songs for longer than any other & I never get tired of hearing it...& I guess that's why it gets my vote.

[mmj37]

Mine is #41 by the Dave Matthews Band. I know for most DMB fans that's a common favorite, but I don't care. It's so beautiful. The instrumentation is just gorgeous. Also, the jamming that they do live with the song blows my mind. Dave just pours his soul into it.
Here's the song live:

If I Could Only Fly - Blaze Foley

The song to end all songs...

[Kory]

"Dogs" by Pink Floyd = Masterpiece!

Picking a Pink Floyd song may be cliche but it was a close race between this and "Yesterday" by the Beatles. When I was little my mom had a music box that played the melody to yesterday and a little flower at the top spun around. I was like 5 or so and I think tha song stuck in my head and to this day, It makes me feel sad, happy, mad, hungry or just crystalline.

Strike that, it's "Yesterday" by the Beatles.

^{[highlight]Dogs[/highlight] still makes me paranoid of all those around me.}

Jane's Addiction - Three Days

Such a sexy song with a killa bass line and probably one of the greatest geetar solos EVER! I can never get enough of this one.  And the song that comes right after.  :)

[primushead]

I'm going at this thread with a "If you were stuck on a desert island and could only have one song with you" attitude.  I'd probably have to pick "Band on the Run" by Wings just for shear replayability.  

[fitzcarraldo]

Damn Gregg! I didn't know that Christopher Lee was in Wings.

Gilmour's guitar in Dogs gives me the biggest goosebumps!  Shit I wanna blast that tune right now!

[MMJ_fanatic]

You missed Lee Marvin  ;)

[fitzcarraldo]

Oh SHit. Steve Coburn too.  ;D  

[dragonboy]

Three Days & Band On The Run, 2 great songs right there!

Aren't you being a little biased though 'Gregg'?  ;)

[primushead]

Biased?  Whatever do you mean... :-? :)

And I actually didn't realize that this was a feux (right spelling?) wings cover.  I feel so ashamed for not double checking my sources.
