which song,if any,do you wish you had written?

Damn,I really wish I had written American Pie by Don Maclean.
This is the best I could come up with.

    If there was one I wish I could've written...it would actually have to be Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden. The mystery behind the lyrics, and that beauty..so tragic yet gorgeous.. I love it...Times are gone for honest men/Sometimes far too long for snakes..

    Funny... never had that feeling My-Endorphin-Rush...

    Just enjoying what these beautiful souls put into writing for us.

    Now, as far as "those lyrics just beautifully speak about me..."

    Probably Daughter and, increasingly, Elderly Woman :p
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    "Dreaming" by Blondie - now you mean lyrics and music, right? I just think this is a great song that lasts years and years and years.

    A lot of Pearl Jam and Metallica, but I'd have to say other then them Time To Move On by Tom petty, or One HEadlight by the Wallflowers.

    I find Armstong's "What a wonderful world" being the best song in the goddamn universe (both lyrically and musically) so, if I was the person who wrote it, I'd be very proud of myself... :)
