In Chapter 20 of Ben Ratliff's "Every Song Ever", Ratliff discusses the idea of a 'perfect moment' in the performance of a song. There is sometimes a specific moment in a song where the artist does everything right.The artist transcends the idea of just singing the song and creates true magic in this moment. This is the last chapter of "Every Song Ever" and thus, it encapsulates and accumulates many other elements captured in this book to present this 'perfect moment' of what can happen when it all goes right. Ratliff uses many examples such as Frank Sinatra's perfect moment, as well as, Miles Davis and the band the Sex Pistols. Each of these artists has a perfect moment when performing a song. They each accomplish this in slightly different ways, but at the core, they accomplish this by surpassing their own and the audience's expectations.
