Maybe Rush's Ghost of a Chance. The Rolls the Bones album wound through my rotation the other day and I thought about just how much that song reflects my own personal worldview. It's the most beautiful rock song ever IMO.
I hate to chime in but I notice you really like bands that I really dislike. I've never been able to like Rush and I've really never liked The Doors either. I'm a huge rock fan of the 60's and 70's and have a pretty big collection though. At least you favor the same type of music :beer:.
As for what I'd like to be played...I don't really know. Maybe one of Brahms' symphonies like his second or third. Or perhaps just the second movement of his 4th.
How could you not like this song, if only just for its poetry?
Like a million little doorways
All the choices we made
All the stages we passed through
All the roles we played
For so many different directions
Our separate paths might have turned
With every door that we opened
Every bridge that we burned
Somehow we find each other
Through all that masquerade
Somehow we found each other
Somehow we have stayed
In a state of grace
I don't believe in destiny
Or the guiding hand of fate
I don't believe in forever
Or love as a mystical state
I don't believe in the stars or the planets
Or angels watching from above
But I believe there's a ghost of a chance we can find someone to love
And make it last...
Like a million little crossroads
Through the back streets of youth
Each time we turn a new corner
A tiny moment of truth
For so many different connections
Our separate paths might have made
With every door that we opened
Every game we played
Somehow we find each other
Through all that masquerade
Somehow we found each other
Somehow we have stayed
In a state of grace
I don't believe in destiny
Or the guiding hand of fate
I don't believe in forever
Or love as a mystical state
I don't believe in the stars or the planets
Or angels watching from above
But I believe there's a ghost of a chance we can find someone to love
And make it last...
It's freakin' beautiful.
