I had a blast putting together this duet and vid with Jackie from channel KaraokeWoman4Life. I normally am more drawn to the darker side of song, but sometimes you need music to just be fun, you know? Please visit Jackie's channel, she is a pro's pro and it was a privilege working with her. http://www.youtube.com/user/karaokewoman4life Like many of my songs, this first came to me in a dream, though it wasn't the entire song, just the first line. I have to admit that these "as I awake" songs often possess some nuance I don't normally write, and they are a real treat to follow and explore. The lyrics to "Perfect" are no one's idea of profound, but I like them and think they fit the song. Thanks to everyone for listening/commenting/sharing. I cherish your feedback and support. My Entry to the Get faireset-ed Original Song Competition http://youtube.com/youoriginal Justin --------------------------- If she trips where no one else can see She's still beautiful to me If she falls down in the dark I'll still catch her spark I won't let her flaws make my mind up So much beauty within If his singing never stays in key He's still musical to me If his playing cannot hold the time I will not mind I won't let his flaws make my mind up So much beauty within We won't let our flaws make our mind up No, love aint perfect, love aint perfect And neither are we Now we sing our song gratefully As flawed as can be ---------------------------------------- A couple other odds and ends. Rick and Alice from channel bios36 deserves scads of appreciation for providing me the tom sound for the chorus, as well as putting up with my incessant requests for advice on mixing and vid making. Thanks, guys. http://www.youtube.com/user/bios36 Also, Duncan from channel Duckscli was kind enough to offer his piano chops and even sent over some stellar files, but unfortunately I didn't realize my kids had recalibrated my tuner to a mid pitch, so I couldn't get the keys to align. You will find some of youtube's best music on Duncan's channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/duckscli My buddy mytosis33 was the one who came up with the extra vocal on the final line of the last chorus. He doesn't have any vids up but he is well versed musically and I'm sure he'd be willing to lend an ear if you need help finding some morsels to add to your song. http://www.youtube.com/user/mytosis33 Lastly, a tip of the cap needs to be directed towards the talented artists over on harmonycentral.com's forums. They gave me some much appreciated mixing advice. I would encourage anyone on youtube who wants to delve further into the songwriting process to check it out. http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forumdisplay.php?f=37 Thanks again everyone.
