Songs in the Key of Life

With apologies to Stevie Wonder for the thread title, what is a song that will always mean a lot to you because it defined a significant moment in your life or you listened to it a lot during such a time?

I'll go first, stating the song and the moment.

Song: "This Is the Sea" by The Waterboys.
Moment: Leading up to the birth of my first child.

The Who --- Quadrophenia --- I Am The Sea

growing up as a teenager with angst, this LP meant everything to me. it made me realize the power and importance of music. in my life, it alone, helped define what music would mean to me. it helped shape my existence and partly made me who i am.
the first track isn't even a song, per se, but it represented the beginning of a great journey of personal discovery. 30+ years later it has stayed relevant. pete is my hero.

That's what I'm talking about.

Another one (and this one is embarrassing):

Song -- "Something I Can Never Have," Nine Inch Nails
Moment -- Bitch broke my heart
