The initial chords of "Beyond Belief" by Elvis Costello at the very beginning of Imperial Bedroom. Most perfect album opening ever.
The entirety of the XTC album English Settlement.
"Sloop John B" as recorded by The Beach Boys.
"With You, Friends (Long Drive)" by Skrillex when listened to on headphones.
They don't necessarily reference how I view life, but they do have a beauty to them.

A song that I've thought could stand for the autistic community?
"I Want To Live" by John Denver (Annie's Song)
Chorus:
I want to live, I want to grow,
I want to see, I want to know,
I want to share what I can give,
I want to be, I want to live.
It just really seems to be so... us.

I love "It's Not Easy" from Pete's Dragon! That was my youngest son's (now 20 y/o) favorite movie when he was a toddler.
