How about "Heroes" by David Bowie, the 7 minute version which is on the album of same name.
that's got my vote - two lovers meet by the Berlin Wall, and the guards shoot above their heads

we can be 'heroes'
forever and ever
wotcha say?

but - for personal reasons - i sometimes like Bowie's 'Ashes to Ashes' even more than "Heroes"

I would also like to add The Rain Song (Led Zep) to my list, which I really should have remembered first time round (and which I can play too 🙂)
good job starrman, that's not a trivial guitar piece.
