What song do you wish you had written? Why? - musitron - 10-05-2014
It would be Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd). Second guess would be New World (Strawbs). Intelligent songs with good lyrics.

"yesterday" purely for the royalties...i mean 4000+ cover versions and Macca earns some 6million pounds per year for that song alone!

"At Last" The #1 wedding song ever. It would be too obvious to link Etta James killer version so try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOOB5c1Efuc << young man has a great future--wish he'd lose about 50-75% of that melisma (it doesn't wear well). BTW soul music seems to have found a home on The "X" Factor (see also James Arthur, Matt Cardle, Leona Lewis)--I'm bemused and uplifted.

Good choice but I should say 'What song do you wish you had written other than Beatles song?
mile: These two (Lennon/McCartney) were too strong.

If I can add another? "The Warmth of the Sun", especially as done by Vince Gill--a heartbreaking song even if not aware of the circumstances of its being written (JFK's assassination):

'Vincent' - a description of an artist's life and struggle by using the imagery of his paintings and their titles as the foundation for the story. Pure genius. http://youtu.be/dipFMJckZOM
