the world's oldest known complete song - and it has been brought back to life for you to hear today.

The piece of music was a Grecian ode written by a man called Seikilos between the 2nd century BC and the 1st century AD, intended to make a woman named Euterpe immortal, and carved on a column of marble.

Something incredibly moving about finding a song from maybe 2,000 years ago that includes the lyrics:

While you live, shine

have no grief at all

life exists only for a short while

and time demands its toll.

@Ben
yep, Pop Music REALLY isn't original Laughing Laughing Laughing 

But I agree there is something very 'Deep' about a 2000 year old love song with Lyrics that wouldn't be out of place today.
