Since it's obvious what my choice is, I guess I'll go into detail as to why "Butterflies and Hurricanes" is my favorite song ever.

To keep a long story short, Muse were what got me through the toughest part of my life. Muse in themselves are a special band to me. This song in particular, though... It's extra special. When I first bought "Absolution," it blew me out of the water; at that time, I'd never heard anything like them. "Butterflies and Hurricanes" was the song I always put on when I started to get back to that low point, and the chorus was just what I needed to hear at the time. Like Kelly said, the lyrics are really inspiring.

Great choice Briggins! For me it was a really tough choice. Lovers In Japan, There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, New Years Day were just some of the songs that went through my head.

But I settled on The Unforgettable Fire by U2. The song defines that album perfectly. I love the lyrics, the mystery, the atmosphere of it. It's beautiful and takes me to an unrivalled feeling of spirituality! I just love it.

This is UNBELIEVABLY hard for me, so I'm going to just go with my favourite song from my favourite band, Coldplay.

YouTube - Coldplay - Amsterdam (Live 2003)

pilan1988 · 23-03-2011, 06:29 PM

It's an instrumental,but who cares! and johnny marr is a living legend!

YouTube - The Smiths - The Draize Train (Live)

The Escapist · 23-03-2011, 06:57 PM

As I sure everyone else is finding, the choice is extremely hard, how can you have a favourite song amongst everything that you listen to? In the end I ended up choosing though.

YouTube - Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #1 - (Tunnels )

I find tunnels to be such an emotionally moving song. Definitely in my top ten of all time, if not my absolute favourite.

YouTube - The Beatles - Something HD

It's such a perfect love song, and it was written by George, my favorite Beatle The lyrics are so simple and so beautiful at the same time.

oh lore i knew you would pick this, so gorgeous

and of course this is mine

Sorry I can't post a vid yet as I'm on my iPod.

Excellent choice for you as well! I was so surprised to hear it live on the 360 tour. I made an effort to not do any setlist watching leading up to that show (unlike on the Vertigo tour where I followed every show).

Great song from a great album.

It was so delightful seeing them play The Unforgettable Fire again. Not enough songs from that album are played live! For me I honestly think it's better than The Joshua Tree and with Achtung Baby competes for their greatest album in my opinion!

I can't choose one favourite song

there are so many songs I know that are awesome or that are awesome and remind me of something or someone....that make me feel something I can't describe....well one song tat comes to my mind immediately and that combines all the things that qualify a song to become my fav song is the live version of "Moonlight Drive" by the Doors that's why I am choosing it

YouTube - The Doors-Moonlight Drive live (Horse Latitudes)

Krieger's slide guitar combined with the organ and Jim's voice and the drums and ahh...I can't describe it....all the musical elements get so intense at some point (sometimes together and sometimes just a single instrument or Jim's singing)....I've been walking home so often to this song after parties when I was drunk or tipsy.....it was dark I looked up in the sky and while I was listening to this song and it felt so intense I can't describe it...everytime I listen to it I choose something I concentrate on .....one time the guitar the other time Jim's voice....well yeah I love it

Maneki · 23-03-2011, 08:01 PM

YouTube - Imagine - John Lennon

I just really love the lyrics.

kjones31 · 23-03-2011, 08:35 PM

iPsy and I have the same song choice, so I'll choose my alternative.

Operator (That's not the way it feels) By Jim Croce

It's old, but it brings back so many car trip memories when I was young, and we ONLY listened to what my dad liked and he was a huge fan of Jim Croce, and us kids liked him because he was better then Elvis and Bread.
