so i decided to try to learn a song myself by just hearing it and not looking at tabs or tutorials or anything like that. im just wondering, what would be an easy song to start off learning just by ear?

Try starting with simple chord based songs, then try doing simple melodies that you've heard time and time again, whether they're rock/pop/whatever you listen to or even classical tunes. Move your way into more complicated things as get more accustomed to listening to music. The hard and fast rule is take your time and get it right.

Good thing is once you learn a couple of songs by a certain artist, generally speaking they'll have certain chord patterns, or tricks that they'll use in a lot of their songs but just done in a different way, once you notice this it becomes a lot easier to work out songs by that artist.

Aagark's top tips for aural learning techniques:
Do it.
That's it. There is no quick way, no 'easy' method. Pitching by ear is a skill rarely, if ever innate (this topic is still argued today), and comes from trial and error. However, here's a few tips and techniques you may want to integrate into your practice regime to help develop this skill;
It's easier to work out songs your familiar with, fact. Keep this in mind when attempting to practice this skill.
Sing your scales, to the letter. This will increase your mental map of the fret board, in correlation to notes and thus aid in working out your songs.
Check your work against others, and be honest with your critique.
About it off the top of my head, really. What it comes down to is understanding the notes, and building your receptors in the old grey matter to respond accordingly.

Just pick a song you really like, any song. Pick about 3 songs from different artists for now, actually, and devote yourself to those songs... some songs can have more difficult chords to play or figure out, after all.
It might be best to pick something with slower rhythm and tempo, and an easy melody to follow for now.
What I do is hum the chords to myself, then experiment to find them. Overtime, you'll quickly get the hang of it.

It's really gratifying when you learn something by ear. I'm doing my own classical guitar rendition of Imogen Heap's Hide and Seek by ear, and I'm really proud of what I have so far.
