Name some existential songs.

[Calpol]

I'm not sure what constitutes an existential song but I listen to this yesterday and it struck me just how under rated Jane's Addiction were

"At this moment, you should be with us
Feeling like we do
Like you love to
But never will again
I miss you my dear, Ziola
I prepared the room tonight
With Christmas lights
A city of candles
Fresh"
Three days was the morning
My focus three days old
My head, it landed
To the sounds of cricket bows
I am proud man anyway
Covered now by three days
Three ways was the morning
Three lovers, in three ways
We knew when she landed
Three days she'd stay
I am a proud man anyway
Covered now by three days
We saw shadows of the morning light
The shadows of the evening sun
Till the shadows and the light were one
Shadows of the morning light
Shadows of the evening sun
Till the shadows and the light were one
True hunting is over
No herd to follow
Without game, men prey on each other
The family weakens by the bite we swallow, oh
True leaders gone
Of land and people
We choose no kin but adopted strangers
The family weakens by the length we travel, oj
All of us with wings, oh
All of us with wings, oh
All of us with wings
All of us with wings
All of us with wings
All of us with wings
Erotic Jesus lays with his Mary's
Loves his Mary's
Bits of puzzle
Fitting each other
All now with wings
Oh my Mary's
Never wonder
Night is shelter
For nudity's shiver
All now with wings

I mean Pink Floyd albums fill the brief here. I'll nominate Wish You Were Here ( the whole album )

Sleeping At Last - Saturn

Mostly instrumental, but the few (repeated) lyrics, combined with the fantastic build-up make for a seriously thought provoking and emotional experience that can easily get you pondering your existence.

"With shortness of breath, you explain the infinite. How rare and beautiful it is to even exist." - gets me every time.

Incredible song.
