Here's to Life by Streetlight Manifesto. A song that alludes to several famous individuals who took their own life, and how while they are great inspirations for the singer, they will never follow in their footsteps through suicide. A lot of songs on that album (Everything Goes Numb) are about overcoming thoughts of suicide and broken relationships.

"And it makes me sick when I think of it, all my heroes could not live with this, and I hope you rest in piece because with us you never did. And K.D.C., you were much too young and you changed my life, but I draw the line at suicide! Here's to liiiiiiiiiiiiiife!"

That sounds awesome, I can only pick out a word here or there but the beats and bars are rad.

The song has been around since the 70s and I just recently heard. Yusuf Islam's "The Wind" I don't know what it is about this song and I'm not religious, but this song touched me.

My partner and me always sing the "oh oh oh" part together..

She started as a background singer for Leonard Cohen.

A couple months ago I decided to relisten to Love This Giant by David Byrne and St Vincent, and the song Lazarus has been stuck with me ever since. I've probably listened to it at least once a day since then.
