    I agree with 'Imagine', by John Lennon. Such a beautiful song... and so inspirational.

    Also 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' - Simon & Garfunkel. I love that song... so comforting, so sweet.

    Or Memories. What an awesome song... but if I wrote that, would that mean I'd have to write all of 'Cats'? It'd be pretty cool to write a musical, wouldn't it? Andrew Lloyd Webber was a genius.

    Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House

    Because of it's lyrical genius and melody. It's a song I can never get tired of.

    Wish you Were Here by Pink Floyd

    or

    Estranged by Guns 'N' Roses

    Both songs have reached perfection in the lyrics, instruments and subtleties that make them so hauting; you know the kind of songs that give you goosebumps when you listen to them.
