What single song best defines you....

I am sitting here listening to some good tunes with an adult beverage, and I came up with an idea...
If you had to pick one song only that defines, or says the most about who you are as a person, what would it be? Please post a video of the song being performed here if you can, or just the title only if you like. Hopefully this thread will be entertaining as well as perhaps a bit insightful, given the multiple personalities we have here on the forum...
For me, it would be this....
Garth Brooks's "Against the Grain". Wish I could find some video of it, but Garth would sue me. :shock:

Some may think of this song as the theme from the truck commercial, but to me they words have alot of impact.
Bob Seger - Like A Rock. -
Pink Floyd FearlessYou say the hill's too steep to climb
Climb it.
You say you'd like to see me try
Climbing.
You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb
That hill in my own way.
Just wait a while for the right day.
And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things you've said today.
Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling.
Merciless the magistrate turns 'round
Frowning
And who's the fool who wears the crown?
And go down,
in your own way
And every day is the right day
And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow
You look down; hear the sound of the faces in the crowd. -

Went and did google search- I'd forgotten all about that part. I remembered the Japanese guys in Kramer's drawers. Pretty funny stuff.

I can't think of a song that does that, primarily because I'm more of a music man than someone who listens to lyrics, if that makes sense. I have to like the tune before I even care about the words! Probably an outcome of what I do, as words are part of my living (so when I relax "I" don't want to hear "anyone" "thinking" or "speaking"!).
Rather than a song, I would say there is a film that best describes my fears and hopes. One I am certain very very few have seen even though it is a Kurosawa film (because it is not one of his samurai films). But I "highly" recommend it. Rumor has it that Akira made this film to work himself out of a suicidal depression, (it is possible that this last piece of information is more legend than truth, but it certainly adds to the film's aura).
The film is called "Ikiru" ("To Live"). And there is a little something for everyone in there and a lot of wisdom!

Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."![:\](https://forum.polkaudio.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

LOL. Im a huge George Lynch fan, He is my favorite guitar player of all time. But that song "The Hunter" also means the journey of life, not just the journey of love with a women which is a huge part of life.Dokken huh either your a George Lynch fan or your searching for love on these lonely streets again. good luck Dan those streets can be dangerous plus you could catch something you will regret then your next song that will describe you will be Zappas why does it hurt when I pee.
Then on the other hand, it's one of the more difficult songs to play on guitar so the journey of that for me defines some of my guitar playing. For some reason or another I struggle to play this song.Dan
