What would be for you the most representative music or lyrics of a song?
For sure it is a very difficult and complex answer.
But I am going to take the risk and answer what I thing is one of the most impressive for me.
Better saying, four beautiful songs and lyrics.
1st: An die Freude. / ODE TO JOY
A poem that the great poet Friedrich von Schiller published in 1786 and that the also great Beethoven composed in music between 1818 and 1824, which theme is the universal brotherhood of mankind. First performed on 7 May 1824, in Vienna.
It is the most beautiful Masterpiece that is totally "Hors Concours" (not competing/disqualified) because that is it what it is: the most beautiful and perfect music ever that´s above everything.
This is the song that we are welcomed in Heaven by God himself.
2nd: MY WAY
By Frank Sinatra and also the version with Elvis Presley.
The lyric is absolutely amazing and impressive as well. Something that we all should do before we pass away. You can check the lyric and take your own conclusions.
3rd: IMAGINE
John Lennon (and his wife Yoko Ono) couldn´t have done better with this song.
It has the "same idea and concept" that wrote the great Schiller and Beethoven. The universal idea of a "perfect world". No racism, no borders, no greed, avarice; a brotherhood of men. etc.
Composed by George Weiss and Bob Thiele, sung by Louis Armstrong.
It is such an amazing song. An "Anthem" to the World and its beautiful things, where even the dark is sacred and people love one another.
And the optimism that the babies of today will grow and learn much more than us.
