I know that perfection probably doesn't exist, but I think this song is The Most Perfect Song I've Heard.



"Ode to Billie Joe" by Bobbie Gentry




I've said it all before - - but I love all of this record. The poetry of the lyrics, Gentry's performance, the musical background arrangement.



What do you think? Do you have a song in mind that approaches perfection to you?

    Thank you for taking what time you have to even try and listen to anything.   I know how hard it is when so many people are clamoring for a listen here.  You are a busy guy.

    You're very perceptive, Shar to the Rona. Yes, I'm not bragging but I did listen to every song that people posted - - I think I should since I asked this type of question. It take me over an hour to listen and respond! Ha! I'm sure you're just as busy but you've picked up on my busy-ness. And even when I'm not so busy, my mind still goes at a busy pace.

    You're welcome for my listening -- and I"m hopeless, I think the main adult guy in this music video is quite the handsome chap!

    That's why I quit doing it years ago. I just loved listening to all the music at first, but then I just had no time at all.  There were too many and I just couldn't do it.   Hope you are having fun.

    Yeah, it's good. I'm just finding myself more tired these past few months than usual, so I may not be asking such questions so often, maybe. I want to give time to people who have given me their time to answer -- and I'm really happy when people answer my questions! Sometimes I get no answers at all, ha!
    :)

    I think I'll be off soon for now and go recline and read my current book I"m reading.

    Take it easy.  See you soon and you don't have to answer right now.  Take it easy already.

  • I don't think there is such a song, but I know you'd be surprised if I didn't choose this one ...

    Enya - "Caribbean Blue"
