Well, Ryan, you know how to put someone's brain in overload. There are just far too many songs I could think of. I guess for me, just about any song by THE CURE does the trick, taking me into that moment of paradox and passion that seems the most real to me. But, if I had to limit it to just one song that would be hard, since THE CURE is so integrated. I mean their spirit is evenly permeated through all their songs. THE CURE is a total work of art, it's like a fabric with an intricate pattern. You have to display the whole thing at once. A few songs that come to mind though would be THE WALK, LET'S GO TO BED, HOT! HOT! HOT! and NEVER ENOUGH. Still, this is like saying what my favorite moment with someone I loved is. I mean, every moment has it's own special wonderfulness and every moment with that person is part of a huge fabric. You can't isolate the moments, as each one testifies of the whole. That's how I feel about THE CURE.
Other songs that came to mind were:
WALKING ON BROKEN GLASS Annie Lennox
WE BELONG Pat Benatar
TIME AFTER TIME Cyndi Lauper
and...just about any song by Elvis Costello
