Music has incredible qualities. It can send you spinning back helpless to where you first heard it and how it made you feel. Take this. Charlie Rich's Most Beautiful Girl In The World.. First of all the title. It's a very relative thing of course. Most beautiful. Best. But that's the best way of descrbing how we feel when we look at someone fundamental to us, are with them or think about them.
I remember hearing this on the radio when it came out and I was just a little boy.It made me feel really strange. The way you do when you're a child and you don't really understand what is happening around you, I didn't understand the emotions of adult love. Perhaps I still don't.
But I like the vulnerability of the song. It's like an open wound. It has genuine longing and is sung by a master who unhabits its emotions. and shakes them senseless. Music is often the best way for expressing and experiencing your deepest feelings and articulating them for you in a way that you just can't.
