What is your favorite song and why?

My favorite song is Flightless Bird, American Mouth. By Iron and Wine. Can you see where I got my name? This song is actually from the Twilight movies, yes I am a complete "twi-hard" even though they came out a couple years ago. The first time I hears the song was in the very first Twilight movie at the end of it when Bella and Edward are dancing at prom. From then on, I can't say that I have gotten tired of hearing it. Every time it comes on I melt.

This song to me is much bigger than just from a movie. It has special meaning to me because I see it as being a song about coming in to who you are. I am still trying to find myself and don't think I ever really will, but that is the beauty of life isn't it?

Here is an interpretation of the song that I found...

I was an innocent child who believed he had all the answers. I was superficial, searching for all the wrong things that I thought would bring happiness. Everyone wanted a piece of what I believed was really me. All they really wanted was to benefit from the person I blindly thought myself to be. When I realized my own delusion of myself, and who I am, I began to change into the person I truly am, the person I want to be, the person I've always been, but couldn't see through the eyes of my own unawareness. Confused, I sought a way to make sense of my confusion, my pain. Desperately, I clung to anything to help confirm who I am. I wanted all this pain to be just in my mind, not real. Am I the me I think I am? I don't have that internal strength I need. I'm jealous of blissful ignorance. It is better to not have to deal with my demons. And this is so hard to come to terms with - who I thought I was versus who I really am. Did I lose myself? I can lose myself so easily. All it takes is a crutch to ease this pain. This pain is endless, my safety exists only when I'm alone in my safe place. I enable my self-pity. But can't ignore it forever. I know that I can't forever hide, but the temptation is so inviting to forget the pain away. The pain always creeps back in. It ruins everything I know isn't, but want to believe, is true. I try to forget, so many ways, any way to make me believe I am masking my hurt away, using a pleasant veil so maybe they will believe. Then maybe I can, too. Am I the me I think I am? I don't have the strength to fight it anymore. I'm aware, but the awareness is so painful. But maybe I can just lose myself, one more temporarily gratifying time. All it takes is a crutch to ease this pain.

In Exile by Thrice.   Thrice is my favorite band and the first time I heard this song it hit me to the core of my being.  The lyrics perfectly encapsulated how I felt at the time and the instrumentation was a perfect fit as well.

You could not have picked a more difficult question. If I had to pick one it would be Pink Floyd's Mother. As to the why, I guess I really like the overall theme. The music starts out simple and the guitar solo fits the song perfectly. To me the best music is the kind that can elicit an emotional response which is probably why I like Pink Floyd so much.
