This whole cantata is golden, but I think Bach really knocks it out of the park with this aria. There's just something about the voice combined with the flute.

I can't think it's possible to improve this song, every single note of each instrument is just perfect. That is the reason why I consider this to be my favorite song of all time.

It's a pretty old song (1972) and some of the synths are dated, but that's the charm of old music for me. All the saturation and lo-fi brings magic to it that's hard to explain, nostalgia maybe?

I just want to specifically point out the percussion for this song, it's just so fucking wonderful. I didn't even know it was possible to carry such emotion in an unpitched instrument like that
 
Not exactly my favourite song, but out of all the genres of music I like this is probably the only song I would consider my absolute favourite of a particular subgenre. In this case Death Metal, with the song being Flesh and the Power it Holds by the band Death
 
Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie is my favorite song of all time.

No other song uplifts me or brightens me up the way that song does. I feel like I get a life experience every time I listen to it.
 
The Chauffeur by Duran Duran. I used to listen to this song when I couldn't get to sleep as a kid. Something about this song just takes me back every time I hear it.
