A perfect song? What are your choices?


Can there be such a thing as a perfect song? I have a suggestion, what are yours? Here is a thought...

You don’t understand - now the sixth scientific revolution is underway ... the fate of mankind directly depends on whose hands the technologies will be - IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ALLOW the oligarchs ... otherwise ordinary people will end - they simply do not need the owners of huge money and will be destroyed (some covid or war) ... The only way for the broad masses of people to survive is to unite - only then they are strong. (the oligarchs will do their best to interfere with this - fascism, nationalism, inciting religious conflicts) ... the more fools, the easier it is for the oligarchs to gain the upper hand. Capitalism is synonymous with selfishness - loneliness - this system is completely inappropriate!

Do you live in the United States @serjio ? If you do, it sounds like you shouldn't from the way you think.

“We are the priests

of the temples of Syrinx

all the gifts of life

are held within our walls…”

@erik_squires 

Celine Dion (Titanic) will find everything by themselves))) ... keep a couple of songs on the marine theme that you have not heard.

Serjio I hope I can understand your concerns that the human race is in great danger. These are my concerns too.

Just as soon as the mass of humanity is no longer required to keep a small elite of globalist (bankers) in the lifestyle they are are accustomed to, that same mass of humanity will indeed become surplus to requirements.

You could even argue that we peasants have only ever been tolerated as long as we served a useful function.

However, in the meantime we can all try to put real information out there so that more people can use it to decide for themselves.

You might well also be right in that the situation is becoming increasingly grave. You only have to look at the escalation of the Ukraine situation to see that, but it's also pointless in getting ourselves overly distressed by events we cannot control.

In the meantime life goes on in its wonderful way.

 

 

 

"In the meantime, life goes on in its wonderful way."

That's the only sensible thing that I got from your post @cd318

 

@roxy54 

I'm glad for that.

I'm sure you tried your best, and that's what counts the most, isn't it?

 

Anyway...how about this for a near perfect tune?

 

 

@cd318 You just smeared it ))) ... a joke from nothing ... everything ingenious is simple!  (54)  ... 

Today we will follow your principle (feast during the plague) ... we will dance))

 

cd318,

I'm pretty sure that I heard that song last week... as I was riding on an elevator.

Elton John:  Rocket Man, Daniel

Led Zeppelin.  Dancing Days

Tool: Lateralus(album)

Pink Floyd: welcome to the machine.  Several others

George Michael:  Father Figure

Whitney Houston:  I will always love you

Led Zeppelin: Dancing Days

Prince:  Cream

Beatles: Penny Lane

Doors: Riders on the Storm

Bread: If

The Fixx:  Saved by Zero

Mac Miller: Return of the Mac

I like others love music.  I get goosebumps, I  get excited, wishing somebody was there when I  find a new great song.  We are all wishing we could make a long list.  Once I got my system set up it was like OMG it's like hearing songs all over.  So much more in the music!  Especially when I  used to listen to these on a transistor radio, or on a worn out turn table.

The Spinners - Could It Be I’m Falling In Love 

Certainly not the greatest song of all time, but all parts of it are beautiful, bring out both happy and sad emotions, has an amazing bridge, perfect pace, vast and incredible choice of instruments, great beat, heartfelt lyrics.

I only listen to it every once in awhile but I’m ALWAYS blown away by it.

Badfinger...The name of the Game.....Roy O.   IN Dreams........CSN   Wasted on the way.......And Start Me Up...

The End,  by The Doors.  Chilling,desperate,yet uplifting at the same time.  ''The West is the Best.''          

Forever Young - Bob Dylan

Suzanne - Leonard Cohen

Cowgirl's Prayer - Leonard Cohen

School's Out - Alice Cooper

No More Mister Nice Guy - Alice Cooper

Enter Sandman - Metallica

Angels We Have Heard When High - Christmas Carol ... oh wait, I mean ON High

@daledeee1 +1 Father Figure - George Michael

@amitynick +1 Hello It’s Me - Todd Rundgren

@needfreestuff +1 What A Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong

@bdp24   +1 I Will Always Love You - Dolly Parton

@danager +1 Love Reign O’er Me - The Who

 

OK... let me try these on, too... these, from a unique and generous artist :

Annie's Song - John Denver

Sunshine On My Shoulder - John Denver

crank 'em up on your fine audio system, and prepare to cry just a little bit... 

Had some buddies over for music night on Saturday and the subject came up. After a few beers we All agreed that Richard Thompson's - "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" was THE Perfect Song.

Burt Bacharach conducts and Cilla Black sings what he regarded as his favourite song.

 

@cd318 Yeah, I got to agree that Alfie is a strong contender for Best Song Ever Written.

It changes all the time. I saw an early reply where a member said 'Wichita Lineman'. Good choice IMO. Right now for me, Bowie 'Sound and Vision'. Talking Heads 'Artists Only'. 

@edcyn 

@cd318 Yeah, I got to agree that Alfie is a strong contender for Best Song Ever Written.

 

On top of everything else those must be Hal David's best lyrics.

-----

As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie
I know there's something much more
Something even non-believers can believe in
I believe in love, Alfie

Without true love we just exist, Alfie 

Are you talking about love..? Love is God.
Carefully ! - satanism (pleasure seeking) - an unadvertised religion of the consumer society ... People often do not know the difference (especially young ones) ... Satan's constant occupation is to convince others that he does not exist ...
If a person was brought up by a wolf pack (Mowgli) - a good comparison with a person from a consumer society - there is almost no chance of moving in the right direction .., there are no examples around, no information, but there is extreme pressure from Satan through other people. It will take a lot to do quite the opposite - to swim against the current ...

In this video, the monk sings in Christ's native language.

 

What are you selling Sejio? More importantly, what are you smoking? Pleasure is Satanism?

"an ignoramus will take a pearl for an ordinary cobblestone"

...Or he might call pleasure Satanism like you did. What nonsense.
