OK. So here it is. The very first “Verse of the Moment.” Now, since this is the first of the series, I feel like an introduction is necessary. If you want to skip the introduction, just scroll down to hear the verse. If you want the intro, here goes…

I listen to a lot of music; a “lot” of music. I listen to music while driving, while studying, while riding the bus, while at work, etc., etc. And from time to time I come across verses which I feel are nearly perfect. With that, it is my hope that every month (or so) I will be able to share with you a verse which is almost touching perfection.

So what makes a perfect verse? Well, a number of things (in my opinion). Obviously the content (words) of the verse are important. However, they are only a portion (a small one at that). I have heard many of verses that were phenomenal but had no impact on me because the beat was no good or the delivery was terrible. Therefore, when I think of a perfect verse, I think of the word selection, the method of delivery, the beat, as well as the effectiveness in making me “feel” what the artist is trying to say.

So why only a verse? Well, mainly because 99.9% of songs (of all genres) do not keep a constant theme throughout the song. Most songs have that one verse that sets the tone, and then the other two (or so) which fill up the empty space. With that, if I was to make this a “song of the moment,” letting people know of almost perfect songs, this would probably be an annual or biennial post (not good for blogging).

With that out of the way, enjoy the verse, and let me know if you agree/disagree and why/why not (if you want). If you have a recommendation for next months verse, please send me an email through the contact page. Thanks.
