All Time Favorite Song?

I got asked this by someone last week and I didn't have an answer.  There are *so many* songs I really like.  After thinking about it some more though, I think I might have to go with a very simple song by the Beatles: "In My Life" from Rubber Soul.  This and a hand full of other songs (like Find the River and Nightswimming by R.E.M.) are nostalgic favorites from high school.  They just conjure up all kinds of good memories.



A friend and I campaigned for "In My Life" as our senior prom song (and it won), our group performed it at music camp before we were really a group, I quoted it in my senior yearbook entry, and if the stupid dj hadn't fucked up (don't get me started about our wedding dj) it would have been played at our wedding.  It's not a very complicated song and there are probably other songs that move me more on a musical level, but it just makes me think back to good times.

There are places I remember all my life,

Though some have changed,

Some forever, not for better,

Some have gone and some remain.




All these places had their moments

With lovers and friends I still can recall.

Some are dead and some are living.

In my life I've loved them all.




But of all these friends and lovers,

There is no one compares with you,

And these memories lose their meaning

When I think of love as something new.




Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before,

I know I'll often stop and think about them,

In my life I'll love you more.




Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before,

I know I'll often stop and think about them,

In my life I'll love you more.


In my life I'll love you more.
