If you’d asked me a month ago I’d have probably said, Eleanor Rigby. (Though I’d never heard it before this, I’m also fond of FlightlessBird’s selection upthread.)
However, I did this thread last month, and find that the suggestion I got in there can’t be topped:
The Intermission track from Christine Lavin’s Live at the Cactus Cafe album.
There is something powerfully appropriate about a track where there’s just some muted sounds of people shuffling chairs.

The Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t)
I always fall for the ones that are unavailable … the latest one is an international student who goes back to France in August, and its not feasible to follow her.
On a historical basis (including all relationships)? Alanis Morisette. Not the Doctor. Not that I like the song, mind you; I kinda don’t. But it fits.
On a right-now basis? Hüsker Dü, Could You Be The One?. Except not in a depressing way. Or Dido’s Here With Me, which is a special kind of ironic. But not bad.
I really like this thread. At various points in my life, I would say these two in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, “The Phantom of the Opera.” They are “The Music of the Night”
