Tie, though a slight edge to the first one.

Thirty years ago, I probably would have named a song from Bon Jovi's New Jersey. Now, I don't know if I have a favourite song. I have too many songs to pick just one.

Impossible to choose just one, but these come to mind:

Robert Wyatt – Sea Song



Tim Buckley – Phantasmagoria in Two



George Harrison – I’d Have You Anytime

I guess people who have favorite songs have some kind of personal connection to it or its meaning? Or it's just about a favorite melody?

For me, it's a little bit of both. My favorite song (It's farther up in the thread) has an incredible melody and amazing lyrics not to mention the arrangement.

But there is something about the song that takes me back to when things seemed simpler. It's hard to describe, but there are songs that just feel like a part of you. That's how I feel about my favorite song.

A little bit of both for me as well. Although I don't really connect with songs in a nostalgic sense. It's more about the emotional pull of the song in an impressionistic way. I tend to like songs that are poetic and atmospheric in character.

Another favorite:

Robbie Basho - Blue Crystal Fire

I can never listen to this song without thinking of the e.e. cummings poem, "[All in green went my love riding]".

Speaking of nostalgia, this is my second favorite song. I remember hearing this on the radio when I was four years old and remember how wonderfully eerie the lead guitar was.
