After wandering aimlessly around Melbourne for a while today I sat down to take a break for a few minutes.
A rather unkempt gentleman came and sat beside me. He asked me if I liked music. I couldn’t answer no to a question like that.
He then told me that if I gave him two dollars he would sing me the most beautiful song I’d ever heard. I had my doubts.
Somehow I couldn’t imagine sitting in the centre of a major city having another man singing to me. I said no.
I think I should have given Hume the two dollars anyway but I was a little surprised by the offer at the time. He was probably homeless or disadvantaged in some way and I should have coughed up two dollars or maybe a little more on the proviso that he didn’t sing.
The most beautiful song you’ve ever heard.
His promise to sing me the most beautiful song I’d ever heard got me thinking. Maybe I missed out on something amazing. Probably not. Either way, I’m wondering what you would consider to be the most beautiful song you’ve ever heard. Not your favourite or most popular but what is the most beautiful sing you’ve ever heard?
I’m trying to think what that might be for me. Maybe Diana Krall’s version of Joni Mitchell’s song A Case of You. If you haven’t heard it before you can check out the video, then tell me your most beautiful song.
