Without doubt, my favourite song is Tchaikovksy's Piano Concerto 1, mov 1 only
The song is simply capable of expressing any human emotion: you have the grand statement of unity between the piano and orchestra at the beginning waltz, punctuated by the opening cadeza, where the piano's sense of self-doubt/conflict brew, brilliant demonstrating by the soloist adopting different personalities with each hand.
After going back to the waltz, the song never displays the same degree of happiness. The song becomes of constant tension - a battle - between the sololist and himself, and against the orchestra. The falling out between the two entities is encapsulated by the 2 key dramatic moments - piano at 7-9mins; orchestra 10-11). The two parties falling out descends into a weary, reflective piano, and gradual reproachment between the parties unfolds.
Simply perfect - the complex emotional relationship between the parties is perfectly captured, and the beauty/drama of some of the moments is unparalled: see ">

I never had favorite songs as much as favorite albums, but I guess the concept of "albums" and "LPs" has died and been replaced by ipods for a large part.
Hmm... I think Ghost of Perdition's up there, as are Ulver, Arcturus, Nightiside or Anthems, Borknagar's first one or two LPs, Vintersorg...
