A musical element outside of Ratliff playlist is the song "Ronald Reagan Era" by Kendrick Lamar. It is very similar to the song "God Save the Queen", in terms of being "anti-establishment against the life if the 1980s. Especially in minority communities. It talks about the explosion of drugs like crack across American cities. The perfect moment in this song is when the verse "California Dungeons" because it mentions of the affect of the "War on Drugs", especially during this era.

"God save the queen" by the sex pistols is an example I went with in Ratliff playlist. This overall meaning of this song was to upset the usual status-quo and be "anti-establishment". It called out and shook an entire country of England. It exemplify Ratliff musical element because the overall meaning and reason for this song is the "perfect moment". It is regarded as one of the most controversial song ever to be made. In the eyes who loved this song has the "perfect moment". For monarchies, not so much.

After reading chapter 20 by Ratliff on the musical element "perfect moment". I agree with most of his ideas on the idea of perfection. Nothing is perfect, in music. Also in life. Perfection is something that is based on opinions. As stated by Ratliff "Is my perfect moment is your perfect moment. Possible". That moment when he said possible is the rare opportunity it may be that our idea of perfection in music might match. But overall, everyone has their own taste and standards This musical element is important because without this, music would not even be what it is. Music allows us to connect to lyrics , artist, and message. That "perfect moment" is very real.
