In my younger days, it was the Beatles' Hey Jude
You could read the whole book before the song ended.

A lot of inspirational songs already mentioned, but two assisted me in my quest for freedom:
1) Wisemen by James Blunt. "Got to ask yourself the question: Where are you now?"
2) White Room by Cream (Eric Clapton). "In the white room with black curtains near the station..."

Dixie Chicks- Landslide, and the other one that starts
"Forgive, sounds good. Forget, I'm not sure I could. They say time heals everything, but I'm still waiting"

Bob Dylan - "Trust Yourself"
"Trust yourself,
Trust yourself to do the things that only you know best.
Trust yourself,
Trust yourself to do what's right and not be second-guessed.
Don't trust me to show you beauty
When beauty may only turn to rust.
If you need somebody you can trust, trust yourself.Trust yourself,
Trust yourself to know the way that will prove true in the end.
Trust yourself,
Trust yourself to find the path where there is no if and when.
Don't trust me to show you the truth
When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.Well, you're on your own, you always were,
In a land of wolves and thieves.
Don't put your hope in ungodly man
Or be a slave to what somebody else believes.Trust yourself
And you won't be disappointed when vain people let you down.
Trust yourself
And look not for answers where no answers can be found.
Don't trust me to show you love
When my love may be only lust.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself......"Bob has another one too called "I'm Gonna Change My Way of Thinking " (stop being influenced by fools!)

For sure, and I have a list:
Hotel California (you can check out but you can never leave)
All along the Watchotwer (there must be someway out of here)
Show must go on - Freddies best performance, (...I have to find the will to carry on with the show)
When I had to do public talks, and saying things I could no longer believe in, and then when I knew that my end as a JW was near, knowing that I will loose my family, my relatives and my friends...

Walk On by U2!
Walk On! Walk On!
What you got they can't steal it,
no way can even feel it.
Walk On!
You're packing a suitcase for a place,
none of us has been.
A place that has to be believed,
to be seen.
You could have flown away,
a singing bird in an open cage,
but we'll only fly, only fly,
FOR FREEDOM!!!
