Is There A Song That Well Describes Your Life or Thoughts?

Or a song that you think describes what's happening? (Even if it was written 50 years ago)
Lately, mine is probably Pink Floyd's "Time"..
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
I'm almost 40, but it seems like life has been over for a few years now.. Just killing "time"...

Oh I like your choice of song.This is the one that would sum it up for me and I would love it played as my ashes are planted, scattered or what have you.
If I had a tombstone it would read "I Wasn't Born to Follow"

It is a beautiful song... The vocal by David Gates is especially great.
