Have you ever loved a song so much you couldn't stop playing it? In this heartfelt and unusually personal episode, I pull back the curtain on my deep, almost ritualistic connection to Elton John's timeless classic "Candle in the Wind."

By my own estimation, I've listened to this single song hundreds—perhaps thousands—of times over the past year alone. It's become more than music; it's a daily companion that accompanies every car journey I take. The moment I slide behind the wheel, those haunting piano notes begin, creating a musical signature so consistent that passengers immediately recognize it as quintessentially "me." 

What draws me so powerfully to this particular song? It's the emotional complexity it evokes—the tears it brings to my eyes alongside moments of unexpected joy. My lifelong admiration for both Elton John and Marilyn Monroe certainly plays a role, but there's something more profound at work, something too personal to fully articulate. This ballad has become intertwined with my identity in ways I'm still discovering. Music can form connections that transcend simple entertainment, becoming extensions of ourselves and vehicles for our deepest emotions. What song has captured your heart so completely?
