Ask HN: What is your one song?

Hey HN, what is the one song for you that you always gravitate towards when you need to calm your mind, ready or psych your self, overcome a feeling or any of the other multitudes of reasons humans listen to music?

To start, I have had a fairly regular tradition over a couple of years to listen to 'Stellardrone - Breath in the light' each morning with my coffee as a way of focusing my mind.
BroHymn by Pennywise. I'm an old 90s punk. Good drinking song...good song to bring you out of a slump.
Beethoven's 7th, 2nd Movement, Allegretto
Beatles - 'getting better' or 'long tall Sally'
Springsteen - Dancing In The Dark

Don‘t know why, but it‘s an immediate boost to my mood every single time.

Tornado of Souls by Megadeth.

That entire album is outrageously good.

Bob Seger - Shakedown
Jim 'Kimo' West - Coconut Hat

I listen to the album to fall asleep - super relaxing.

Fun note: Jim West is Weird Al's guitarist, but is an accomplished slack-key player as well!

what else is there - royksopp

I once listened to it for 6 hours straight to help put the finish a project

Foo Fighters - Everlong. Such a great song.
