I've got around 6 favorite songs which are Navigate the Seas of the Sun,Jerusalem,The Arc of Space,Omega,Eternal, and Tears of the Dragon.
Here's the link to the song, from the movie Oh Brother, Where Art Thou.

Just the name of the song was the first indicator.
Let's look through the lyrics too.
"I am a man of constant sorrow. I've seen trouble all my day."
Makes sense to me. Generally sums up my life since puberty.
"I bid farewell to old Kentucky. The place where I was born and raised."
When I heard these lines I imagined Kentucky being replaced with my old name or old me, being born and raised as the wrong sex.
"For six long years I've been in trouble. No pleasures here on earth I found."
Since puberty I've always had a hard time loving myself which impacted my mental and emotional health for years. It wasn't until discovering the woman deep inside that I learned how to love myself.
"For in this world I'm bound to ramble. I have no friends to help me now."
I've always felt like I had two people inside my head, battling each other for dominance. It made it hard sometimes to gather my thoughts which made me, well, ramble. And initially after discovering I was part of only .05% of the population I thought I was alone. But I have all of you with me!
"It's fare thee well my old lover. I never expect to see you again."
I wasn't sure about these lines at first but then I remembered my penis. I've never necessarily disliked it. It works well and I've greatly enjoyed sex with it. But maybe, someday, it'll be transformed into something unrecognizable. Maybe not, who knows.
"For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad. Perhaps I'll die upon this train."
At first these lines were depressing for me. I thought they were referencing suicide. But then I thought it could mean the "death" or end of boy me. Instead of just coasting through life, I'm hopping off the train of denial.
"You can bury me in some deep valley. For many years where I may lay."
Deep valley instantly made me think of vagina lol but I'm actually not sure what these lines could mean. Tell me what you think about them.
"Then you may learn to love another. While I am sleeping in my grave."
Again, not sure. Maybe an emotional farewell to the parts of boy me that I actually liked. I was a good man, but it wasn't enough to keep me happy. Maybe this line is like breaking up with boy me.
"Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger. My face you'll never see no more."
I love love love this part! At this point in the music video Clooney pulls dow
... keep reading on reddit ➡This week we will discuss The Man of Sorrows, from The Book of Souls, their newest album, released in 2015. The track was a suggestion by /u/PathOfFlames and was chosen as a song of the week before, but a looong time ago (over a year!) Here's the old thread.
Dave Murray and Steve Harris share writing credits for this nearly six and a half minute long song, which is listed as fourth on the second disc of the album. It wasn't played live on the last tour and this probaby means we (sadly) won't have a chance to hear it on stage.
The lyrics seem to deal with a topic which is somewhat relevant to modern times - a person, being lonely, left without hope and passion for life, perhaps knowing their dreams will never come true. This situation fills them with anger and dissapointment towards the world of lies we are forced to live in today.
However, looks like that a tiny ray of hope persists - to see the man of sorrows - maybe that man is some sort of salvation for us all?
Well, that's just my interpretation of the lyrics, please feel free to post your own and tell us what you think!
