The Most Perfect Song Ever Made!

YOU�VE GOT A FRIEND (Carole King)

When you�re down and troubled
and need some love and care
and nothin� nothin� is goin� right
close your eyes and think of me
and soon I�ll be there
to brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name
and you know wherever I am
I�ll come runnin� to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
all you have to do is call
and I�ll be there yeah
You�ve got a friend

If the sky above you
grows dark and full of clouds
and that ol� north wind begins to blow
keep your head together
and call my name out loud
soon you�ll hear me knocking at your door

You just call out my name
and you know wherever I am
I�ll come runnin� to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
all you have to do is call
and I�ll be there yeah
You�ve got a friend

Now ain�t it good to know
that you�ve got a friend
when people can be so cold?
They�ll hurt you, yes and desert you
and take your soul if you let them
oh, but don�t you let them

You just call out my name
and you know wherever I am
I�ll come runnin� to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
all you have to do is call
and I�ll be there yeah
You�ve got a friend

Good thread idea. It is very difficult, however. What are the various criteria for choosing?

"Happy Birthday To You" Laughing Laughing Laughing


There's no criteria. What do you think is the most perfect song? It's a purely subjective question.


OK eamo, thanks for the clarification. My choice:

Simple Man by Bad Company


Lynyrd Skynyrd, Simple Man

Depends how you see perfect. For me the most perfectly composed pop song is not the song I enjoy the most, definitely. But it's just got to be "Yesterday" by Paul, er, the Beatles..."Every Breath You Take" comes close ...

L'Apr�s-midi d'un faune ("The Afternoon of a Faun�)...by Claude Debussy. Not a song as such but definitely an example of perfect music.

Just to clarify.

I think most posters on this thread have got the point, but, some seem to be waylaid.

The most perfect song ever does not really mean your favorite songs. In a subjective way it does. But I'm asking you all to be objective. It's about those songs that you have heard which seem just right.

Example?

Okay. I think many songs by The Smiths and The Strokes are fantastic songs, but are they perfect? Do they wash over you effortlessly? Or is there something about that song which takes the shine off slightly? That's what we don't want.

Reserve your judgement for a song that you are so bloody sure you will listen to the rest of your life you will bet your Grandma's life on it.
