What is your favourite song of all time?

It's a tossup, both songs below helped and help me get through the instant destruction of my reality and the long process of finding out who I am in this strange world that looks so deceptively familiar but may as well be a different planet in a different galaxy and dimension.

Hurt

Carry on Wayward son
 
I know this is not even remotely main stream, but for me, on repeat, all day long, somehow, this is beautiful and calming. I have thousands of listens on Spotify and You Tube. Thousands more coming.


 
For me it is impossible to nominate one song, not even one song per genre.

One that I like very much, especially for the message therein is

O Caritas by Cat Stevens is sung in Latin.
Translation of the lyrics (the part sung in Latin):
I don't want to lose the harmony of the universe
I see all things... burning, I hear men... shouting.
Now is the light of the world and the stars going out
Now does the blame for the disaster fall upon men.
Grief is heavy with sadness and tears
Great is the noise from the earth and the seas
O love, O love be with us always.
We who will perish salute death. Life alone goes on.

Note: the Latin word "Caritas" means "Spiritual Love", not 'ordinary' love as in the translation which in Latin is 'amor'.

Indeed:
 
Impossible to have a favourite. There are too many. Plenty of singalong anthems I never get tired of though...
