Remember that song or songs that played on the radio the years you were in your mid teens that reminded you that you're alone and will probably be alone for the foreseeable future?
can it just be a song that is romantic and made you wish you were in a relationship? konstantine by Something corporate is a great one. the song is crazy long like 9 minutes but it will the best 9 minutes of your life!
Thick as a Brick has been a favorite of mine for years-the older I get I find new meaning and new sounds in Jethro Tull's masterpiece. No other work of art has ever been so applicable to my own psychosexual development and growing up process in general. I will never abandon this song-it is the tune which plays in my heart of hearts from now until the day I break down and cry.
