Every month at work, our group (about 8 of us) has a music listening session. You bring in 2 songs. Generally, one song is "a song you like that's been released in the last 3 months" and the other song fits within a wildcard category that changes every month.

This month, the wildcard song is: A Song That Defines You

Song can be any age, as long as it's a song that defines you as a whole, or soundtracks a defining moment in your life.

Curious to see RM's take on this.

Off the top of my head.

Look Back and Laugh - Minor Threat (skater-punk phase/everything about you sucks)
Just Like Heaven - The Cure (girls/high school/it's cool to be moody)
In the Mouth a Desert - Pavement (90s/everything still kinda sucks, but I love this woman!)
Cody - Mogwai (we're married now/it's over/post-rock until I die)

Release is the song that has meant the most to me over the course of my life. I don’t think there’s a song that “defines me”.

This a great topic. Interestingly enough, I had a dream a couple weeks back that I don't remember much of, but when I woke I was filled with the complete, total, absolute KNOWLEDGE that my friend Matt IS the song "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago. If he was a song, he would be that song. And there's no debating it. It is a universal truth. A fact.

Since posting about that dream and new found knowledge, many have asked me what song I am. And I really have no clue. But there are several songs that have defined me or that I find myself in when I listen. In My Tree is a big one. Pony by Tom Waits is another. But I'm not sure what I'd pick if I had to pick one.

I'll think on it.

You know what... it's probably Mess by Ben Folds Five, if I'm being totally honest.

It's not an all-time favorite and the lyrics don't have any particular special meaning but I used this song to test the first real set of speakers I bought, 20 years later it was the song I used to get me through hellish child custody battles and I still use during running/biking races as my finish line song.
