The lyrics must organically flow from the music and vice versa.
The perfect song is effortless, as though it always existed and needed only someone to present it to the world.
The perfect song must reach the heart, or memory bank or funny bone and elicit a deep emotional reaction.
The perfect song must be arranged, played and sung by the perfect musician ; but that’s another subject for another time.
