Difficult choice, for now I would say mine would be "Knocking on heavens door" by Bob Dylan, I say this because I have knocked at that damn door so many times over the years yet repeatedly get told its not the right time so bugger off! If I can find the vid I will post it here. My close friends know exactly what I mean by these words.

No one song can define any of us (imho).
Consider the connectivity we have with all of humanity ... then what???
I can offer dozens of songs myself without taking that stretch ...
OK everyone sing along now!
I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now,
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy...
Met a man on the roadside crying, without a friend, there's no denying,
You're incomplete, they'll be no finding looking for what you knew.
So anytime somebody needs you, don't let them down, although it grieves you,
Some day you'll need someone like they do, looking for what you knew.
I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now,
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy...

some songs we go back to again and again so more about the songs that fit in that category...which is special in some way to us...
Doesn't define me, but describes me pretty well.
Do not fashion me a maiden who needs saving from the dragons. I am the Dragon. And I will eat you whole.
Ooooh, I do too, Tribe! One of my faves

Sorry, back to figuring out a single song that would define me...which I think is impossible...
Do not fashion me a maiden who needs saving from the dragons. I am the Dragon. And I will eat you whole.
Mine would definitely be Reckoner by Radiohead. The avatar I'm using is a Radiohead image called Modified Bear. That band has immeasurable presence and meaning in my life, starting from childhood before the band had even formed. When I was a kid I wrote two words by themselves, no context. I never knew why I did that. It sort of just happened. I simply wrote 'radio head' and that was it.
There is a story, the story of how Radiohead came into my life, but it is much too long and detailed to tell. I can say that Reckon has been an internet name of mine since the early 2000's. When I heard Reckoner for the first time, well...
it sort of killed me. But that death was like entering the pearly gates into the world of Radiohead songs.
I call them "fleshy gods" because that's what they are to me. I'm very thankful to them, for the absolute best music I have ever known.

This is the one song that comes closest to defining me and my journey through life...from searching outside to inside...always digging deeper...

Walking , wandering , from Times to another Times , places and spaces
like group of Bauls , wandering musicians ,
like birds without trail ...
Care i not of the intrigues of the dragon palace , red , black or blue , those furious beasts of old , their gold , their pledge to mercy ...
mercy has gone , world full of gold yet so little sunshine .
Care i not what they say , count us our carrots , our daily bread , oh so expensive ..
been a long track and trail ,
longer yet from the Stars .. and longing to go..
uh oh
