Song title: At My Most Beautiful
Artist: R.E.M.
Year: 1998
Why I like this song:
Michael Stipe once said it isn't easy trying to convey genuine feelings in a song and, as a result he was working on this song for a very long period of time. Thus, when it was finally done he was really proud of the end result.
And so he should be. For me this song really does a great effort in capturing little moments in a relationship. Little moments that make any relationship what it should be: Special. Key amongst them is the repeated line: "I've Found a Way to Make you Smile" but some of the other lines work equally well. Indeed, this song is the type that quietly sneaks in and builds a connection without the listener realizing it. And if that isn't the mark of a great song, I don't know what is.
