      @@mikeyates7931 I cant lie thats a tough question there sir, i would say Beethoven´s ode to joy (movement 4 obviously) but i dont know how proper that song would be, its just my favourite song.
      As a "credit roll" song, maybe Bob Dylan´s rendition of Maggie´s farm that was performed at folk fest when he first started playing electric guitar would be better, the lyrics perfectly describe a person that has had quite literally enough and decides to just say "f it". Also i think it would be better a song that has that energy to it instead of a sad balad like for example hurt performed by Jhonny Cash. You know, the whole "do not go gentle into that good night" energy i think would represent the human spirit better than a song that would just b sad.
