This sounds great, but I like your vocals, too.

I really enjoy both versions of this song - Rosmy's version definitely has a show tune/soundtrack feel to it that is different from the original, though. Beautiful work here, both of you!

I thought it sounded familiar! Nice work both of you - I love the way that Rosmy's vocal brings out another layer of meaning in the lyrics (and I relate to being a songwriter, wishing I had a shinier voice :) ).

A really good song, with a great vocal performance, I just closed my eyes and took it all in.

This version is a show stopper! Not just because of the vocals, but the piano is perfectly balanced and in sync with the vocal and lyrics. And when the strings appear it reaches yet another dimension that is sublime! Wonderful production you two.

Wow! I remember this one, loved it before, but I hear the beauty in this version.

Keyboards set such a perfect mood.  The writing is great, love the melody.   I really like the line: if the next breath...  And of course beautiful vocals.

Oh yes I remember this beautiful song. Lovely to hear it again and these are really strong and clear vocals, nice choice! But don't knock your own singing, I love hearing you sing!

Perfect is the soundtrack of confronting one's own mortality.

(One more proof that vocals can totally make or break a song, check out my version and wonder with me why the heck am I still singing my own songs?) https://soundcloud.com/cristhopper2019/perfect)

Perfect

I can't believe that
it took me all this time to realize
there's no going back
I'm fooling myself
expecting something different from the past
is it too late now?

If the next breath was my last
would I feel content with the way I am?

Life isn't always perfect
true lasting love's not for the faint of heart
how do we know it's worth the price?

Our existence
a miracle the mirror can't deny
and no one gets out alive
the reflection
is someone we can't always recognize
even if we try

If the next breath was my last
would I feel content with the way I am?

Life isn't always perfect
true lasting love's not for the faint of heart
how do we know it's worth the price?

If the next breath was your last
would you feel content? would it all make sense?

Life isn't always perfect
true lasting love's not for the faint of heart
how do we know it's worth the price?
