Drive Like I've Never Been Hurt by Ry Cooder.

It's about saying fuck you to someone who's always critical of you and driving off into the sunset alone. It makes me blub every time I hear it 😭

Happiness is the Road - Marillion

It was influenced by the book The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle and is about not regretting the past or worrying unnecessarily about the future. The book and the song changed my life after my mid-life crisis.
