Top Ten Songs
Including vinyl, CDs and mp3s, I must "own" 75,000 songs. Obviously picking the top ten is problematic and highly dependent on the mood of the moment. Having a wide range of tastes, I'll try instead to pick one song from multiple genres.
Overall

The Mary Ellen Carter
1979 - Stan Rogers

Between The Breaks Live

Album: Between the Breaks...Live!
Label: Fogarty's Cove
Composer: Stan Rogers

Superficially, just a song about a sunken ship. As the above video shows though, it has been an inspiration to not only me, but to others as well. It may not have literally saved my life, but I often read the chorus, printed and framed, sitting on my desk, during a very dark period while simultaneously struggling with divorce, a house fire and a new job. Happy to report, that I did "rise again"..
