Lou Reed--New York conversation
I wish i'd written it 'cause it's whimsical and different. Somthing that's not been seen for a while, apart from "Tom's Diner" , but she probably nicked the idea off him anyway.

I've stood back from participating in this thread due to the word "perfect" in the OP. While I deeply love and respect many moving songs, there are flaws in each of them.
This little gem of electronica doesn't seem to have any. It's not as classy or powerful as some other music, but it's taking the math behind rythem and using it to make art.
Ballerium - Infected Mushroom
