Mine is this one.
"Beautiful Dawn" by the Wailin' Jennys has been my favorite song in all the world ever since I was in high school. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that in the good times and the hard times, this song has been there for me. If my life had a soundtrack album, this song would be on it twice, because it's that important to me. If Amortentia from Harry Potter really existed, and if it could evoke sounds in addition to smells, it would cause me to hear this song. I hope all of you love it too, but if you don't, you should probably keep that information to yourself.
Of course, my broad, nonspecific adoration for the Wailin' Jennys causes me to love ALL of their songs. Even my least favorite songs of theirs are still great.
So anyway, I'm just curious if anyone else feels this way about a specific song -- or even an album or an artist. What do you wish everyone else would listen to?
[If you don't listen to the song, at least read the words.]
Take me to the breaking of a beautiful dawn
Take me to the place where we come from
Take me to the end so I can see the start
There's only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me to the place where I don't feel so small
Take me where I don't need to stand so tall
Take me to the edge so I can fall apart
There's only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me where love isn't up for sale
Take me where our hearts are not so frail
Take me where the fire still owns its spark
There's only one way to mend a broken heart
Teach me how to see when I close my eyes
Teach me to forgive and to apologize
Show me how to love in the darkest dark
There's only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me where the angels are close at hand
Take me where the ocean meets the sky and the land
Show me to the wisdom of the evening star
There's only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me to the place where I feel no shame
Take me where the courage doesn't need a name
Learning how to cry is the hardest part
There's only one way to mend a broken heart
