The Most Perfect Songs Ever: Part One

Posted on by

While listening to ‘Memphis Tennessee’ by Chuck Berry something struck me: the song is perfect. It has everything: great lyrics, a great story, melody. It even has a twist. The same is true with Sam Cooke’s ‘A Change Gonna Come’ and ‘Love is a Losing Game’ by Amy Winehouse.

I then asked my friends on Twitter and Facebook what their ‘perfect’ songs where. It’s a wide scope my friend, Monty, pointed out. ‘What makes something perfect?’ It was a good question. Truth is: perfection is hard to pinpoint. It is something that just ‘is’. A sigh-worthy song that you listen to for the rest of your life. You might not listen to it for a while, but it will always return.

I quickly found out that this was going to be harder than I thought so I have decided to do it in parts. So here is part one. Let me know what you think.

The celebrities though had turned up to watch the stars on the court and the National Basketball Association’s best did not disappoint. Kobe Bryant led the Western Conference All-Stars past their Eastern Conference opponents in a high-scoring 148-143 game.

The Eastern Conference put up an impressive fight and produced a fantastic comeback to nearly snatch a victory. LeBron James, of the Miami Heat, was particularly impressive recording a triple double. He had 29 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.
