What's a song you'd want your best friend to hear for the first time?

The last song I remember being like this was Nervous System by Joesph. I heard it first when a lot was going on in life and it felt something like a balm:

> No, it's not selfish if you save yourself > Don't feed the paranoia, that won't help > It's in your head and it's under your skin > I know that you can calm the storm in your nervous system

The best friend I had to share it with was my wife. She was away on a work trip in Italy. We were trying to find either a house to buy or a place to just live. We'd just dealt with something of a traumatic international move. It felt worth sharing. And I did, I'm pretty sure on the way to look at the house we ended up buying (although my memory could be off on that). Anyways- take a listen!
