The most impassionate song
To a lonely soul
Is so easily outgrown
But don't forget the songs
That made you smile
And the songs that made you cry
When you lay in awe
On the bedroom floor...
Don't forget the songs
That made you cry
And the songs that saved your life
Yes, you're older now
And you're a clever swine
But they were the only ones who ever stood by you...
— "Rubber Ring," The Smiths
And so we come to the three-part question: What song makes you smile? What song makes you cry? And what song saved your life?
Mine (of many, in each category), in order: Christmas at the Zoo by The Flaming Lips, The Luckiest by Ben Folds, There Is A Light That Never Goes Out by The Smiths.
