There are portions of songs (lyrics, musical phrase, guitar rift, beat, etc) that create a lasting impression or special feeling within us.
What’s a portion of a song that works for you?
Here’s one from Queen that ROCKintime just couldn’t pass up as a starter for this thread:
We Will…We Will…ROCK YOU!
We Will…We Will…ROCK YOU!

I'll contribute another Queen lyric...
"My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die"
Kisses to the person who knows the song...one of my faves. ;)
I love music .... lots of variety .... but for this moment .... there are 2 that come immediately to mind .... they often do
1. Whenever I'm not feeling very well .... (James Taylor from Fire and Rain) ... "My body's aching and my time is at hand ... "
and
2. When I'm feeling kind of "fzzy" and romantic ..... from Carol King .. "Tonight you're mine completely ... you give your love so sweetly ... tonight, the light of love is in your eyes, but will you love me tomorrow?"

First one in my mind is:
"Come on baby, light my fire, Try to set the night on fire..." The Doors.
mmmmm.... some 'hot' memories from that song!! :D

Many times I have a little Bonnie Raitt slip through my mind "I could have been the best old friend, that you.... ever had" How many times has that applied?

lol.... good one Rock.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention my favorite Elvis song:
"don't wanna be your tiger cause tigers play to rough,
don't wanna be your lion cause lions aren't the kind you love enough,
just wanna be your teddy bear, put a chain around my neck & lead me everywhere..."
I always find myself singing part of a song by the Traveling Wilburys....
He loves your sense of humor
disposition too
There's absolutely nothing he don't love about you
ohhhhh baby...... your such a tasty treat
Life would be so simple if I only had you to please.

Here's another musical phrase that just resonates:
From George Thorogood and the Destroyers:
B-B-B-B-BAAAAAAD to the BONE

I find myself referring to a Billy Joel tune...
"This is the time to remember
'Cause it will not last forever
These are the days to hold on to
'Cause we won't, although we'll want to
This is the time,
But time is gonna change
You've given me the best of you
But now I need the rest of you "

If I'm feeling a little sentimental it is always.....
Midnight, not a sound from the pavement, has the moon lost her memory, she is crying alone...........Memory from the play Cats

From Nillson's "The Point":
Me and my arrow
Straight up and narrow
Wherever we go everyone knows
It's me and my arrow

Blake Shelton........
It's your life, you say you need a change
Don't all the dreams we've seen come true mean anything
You say it's different now and you keep staring at the door
How can you walk away, don't I matter anymore.
If being free is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late for love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time.
If we had known our love would come to this
We could have saved our hearts the hurt of wasted years
Well it's been fun what else can I say
If the feelings gone words won't stop you anyway.
If being free is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late for love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time

Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin’ on - we got to try
Holdin’ on to never say goodbye

The lightning flashed as angels
Rode fiery chargers through the clouds
That answer scared me into tears
And all the grownups laughed out loud
Now the years roll on, tired voices have all gone
Now they ride their thunder through the heavens
There's a world in every drop of rain
Embracing oceans sweep us home again
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
They say for every living thing
There's a guide up in the sky
That helps you pass from world to world
So you never really die
Then with scythe and cloak
Death comes waltzing to your side
As the visions pass you ask
If there was meaning to your life
As you strain to hear the answer, spirits sing, and devils fiddle
As he bends to whisper in your hear, he leaves you one more riddle
Oh, the answer lies beyond the pain
All the questions in our minds, we surely ask in vain
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, and you shall find another life
And now my life is like a storm
Growing stronger every day
Like the unrelenting wind
That comes to blow our lives away
So I live each day like I know it's my last
If there is no future there must be no past
Now I know the answers never meant a thing
And with each instant that I breathe
I feel the joy that life can bring
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, and you will find another life
