Are there any songs that you just wish you could play? Most songs have several instruments, so if you want to be more specific you can say "I wish I could play the guitar for this song" or what have you. Do you think you will be able to someday?
I wish I could play this song because I think it's a beautiful song:

I wish I could play Dancing Mad on the piano. But I know that's not gonna happen anytime soon.

Just as a heads up, Shorty, I Will Follow You into the Dark is a pretty easy song to learn. I learned how to play it a few years ago pretty quickly when I was bored one day.
I keep trying to think of if any songs stick out that I want to learn, but I kind of just want to learn how to play any song I listen to that I like. There was a Final Fantasy VIII medley one of my friends played on the piano once in a high school talent show that I've always wanted to learn.

Everything I've ever practiced but never completely played through and/or memorized. D: ... that list includes a lot of video game music. Lol.
On the classical side, also this piece:

Still More Fighting from FF7.
Been trying to nail it for four years. Not even close.
It's My Life by Bon Jovi.
The entire soundtrack of Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil and this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFjT1TExFyM).
