Simple as that. I think my second most favorite song, personally, for the last couple years at least, is a Brazilian song called "�guas de Mar�o." "The Waters of March," in English. The original was written by a bossa nova badass named Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Original version + fake video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1tOV7y94DY&feature=fvst

This is a live version the same song, that I love equally:

There's also a version by a white woman named Susannah McCorkle (which is almost equally as awesome, IMO). I think her version is amazing:

She went out Korean style, but spoke multiple languages and made some good music while she was still going.

My ultimate favorite song is almost as old as it gets, but it's my personal favorite, above all others:

Wow, Radiohead and the Wondergirls on the same favorites list. I bet you don't see that often. If you're talking solely in terms of a song. I think the melody of Danny Boy is difficult to improve on.

Starting with a classical version.

[Steelrails]

Can't be anything else but "Steel Rails" by Alison Krauss.

Kind of have to take it by genre...
"Why Should We Try Anymore" by Hank Sr. comes in close behind. "Ren Jian" by Faye Wong is great as well. Mahler's "Symphony #3" is great. "Piano Concerto #2" by Rachmaninoff. "Reflections" by the Supremes. "Kalimba Story" by Earth Wind & Fire. "All About You" by Tupac. "Begin the Beguine" by Artie Shaw. Anything Zeppelin or Black Crowes.

a hard rain's a-gonna fall - Bob Dylan

oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son ?
and where have you been my darling young one?
i've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
i've walked and i've crawled on six crooked highways
i've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
i've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
i've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son?
and what did you see, my darling young one ?
i saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
i saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
i saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
i saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
i saw a white ladder all covered with water
i saw ten thousand takers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son ?
And what did you hear, my darling young one ?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin'
I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin'
I heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, who did you meet my blue-eyed son ?
Who did you meet, my darling young one ?
I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man who walked a black dog
I met a young woman whose body was burning
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
I met another man who was wounded and hatred
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son ?
And what'll you do now my darling young one ?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'
I'll walk to the deepths of the deepest black forest
Where the people are a many and their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the color, where none is the number
And I'll tell and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
But I'll know my songs well before I start singin'
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

By far it has to be "Black Metallic," by Catherine Wheel. I love the extended version.
