Because I have trouble picking just one! If I have to, I'd say mine is Whisper by Evanescence. Yes it's depressing but I think of it as my happy song. Smile

Tough call......The show must go on by Queen is my 'kick up the arse' song though and has seen me through many many tough times.

So hard!!!! I'm not a sophisticated muso so for me I think it has to be Coldplay Yellow.

I’ll go with what I would wantnayed if I were in a coma or similar in hopes it would get through -
Blackbird - beatles. (Not great fan of Beatles but find this completely beautiful).
Or
Dreams - the cranberries.

I like Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now by Starship even though it's more than a decade older than me.

Also a huge fan of any Lady Gaga song and any Ariana Grande song.

Tough question I love music.

George Michael kissing a fool is my usual answer.

But I love many of his songs so it depends on when you catch me.

Out of NON George tracks

Elbow - one day like this is fab

Really hard but Long May you Run by Neil Young finds its way on to most of my playlists (as does Carey by Joni Mitchell)

I Wanna Be Your Lover by Prince, 17 Days by him is a very close runner up.

So, so hard to pick just one! And I can’t! Top three would probably be

Catch Hell Blues by the White Stripes
How Soon Is Now? by The Smiths
What the World is Waiting For by the Stone Roses

Stainds. Tangled up in you

The lyrics just touch me every time I hear it.

You're my world
The shelter from the rain
You're the pills
That take away my pain
You're the light
That helps me find my way
You're the words
When I have nothing to say

Those soft loving words combined with Aaron Lewis raw voice are just so beautiful
