What’s the song that best represents your “meaning of life”? I discovered mine last year - Time Out of Mind by Steely Dan. I found the metaphor of chasing the dragon to match up perfectly with my deeply held belief that you should get every drop of life out of your time on Earth. That, and the super funky beats are prefect for my unique dancing style…
My wife would tell you its “Staying Alive” but only because I used to sing it when we first dated as a way of showing off…“well, you can tell by the way I use my walk. i’m a woman’s man, no time to talk”…she also thinks “Princes of the Universe” refers to me because I was a big highlander fan and we go to every ren faire we can afford too. she just likes seeing me with a sword I guess…
My oldest friend would tell you its Peter Gabriel’s Solsbury Hill because of a past we both have in common.
But if I had to just pick one, I’d say its tubthumping. Not that its a fantastic sonmg, but the lyrics “I get knocked down, but i get up again, you ain’t never gonna keep me down” seem to be a recurring theme for me.
