My dad and I were chatting today, and we just listened to the oldest surviving written song in the world - the Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal.
It's a woman's lament, a prayer to the goddess asking for the blessing of children. This timeless hymn speaks of the desire for survival, continuity, and identity. Buried beneath the earth and the ruins for thousands of years, it endured... waiting for someone to sing it again.
