amazing flow and vibe like the way you say it perfects it's the enemy

Thanks for writing a song about perfectionism. This is something many artist encounter, and too less people know how to deal with it.

Gostei muito da música, tem boa levada e tá bem gravada.

belle ambiance d’intro qui ouvre à ta voix qui nous raconte son histoire et on y va, sans hésiter. Bien !

This tune was composed and sung by Lionel Richie, the lead singer of the Commodores in 1977. Performed on my Yamaha PSR-SX900 arranger keyboard.

Name That Tune #444 by Lionel Richie

This is my 7th single named "Take a Million $".

It´s a chill music with a dub guitar effect and shop delayed vocals.

Take a Million $

Remixed and remastered 12 May 2025
================================
The phrase "perfect is the enemy of good" is an aphorism commonly attributed to Voltaire in 1770, but even he was apparently quoting an Italian proverb that had been around for a while.  It seemed to me to be a good idea for a song.  

Verse 1:
There was that short descriptions on page 195
It wasn’t really what I had intended to describe
And after many hours of working on the text
I gave up and decided that it was hopeless to expect
That I’d ever have the talent to do better than ok
I tossed that novel in the bin, there’s nothing more to say
It will forever go unread, I did the best I could
Perfect is the enemy of good

Chorus:
Perfect is the enemy
Perfect is the enemy
Perfect is the enemy of good
If I could make it better don’t you think I would
If I say it’s not good enough, I hope it's understood
Perfect is the enemy of good

Verse 2:
Our partnership was based on love and trust and fun
But I was undecided, would she ever be the one
Was she what I wanted, was she a perfect fit
A goddess with golden hair and unrivalled wit
A libertine, a temptress, that lovely girl next door
I let her go, so I'd be free for whatever was in store
Learned a lot about loneliness, more than I really should
Perfect is the enemy of good

Bridge:
Nothing’s ever finished
Nothing’s ever done
Always trying, waiting
While the race is being run
Perfect is my enemy
It keeps me playing small
For all that I’ve attempted
There’s not much to show at all

Verse 3:
The novel I was writing spoke of sadness and regret
For a love I’d lost so long ago that I still can’t forget
With this song I’m hoping for some closure on my past
I’m trying hard - I hope I can redeem myself at last
You’ll probably never hear this song - it won’t pass the test
That just allows perfection - I give up on all the rest
But who knows maybe this time I’ll cut myself a break
And sing this song with all it’s flaws - it’s a chance that I should take
Not perfect but maybe the very best I could
Perfect is the enemy of good

Chorus:
Perfect is the enemy
Perfect is the enemy
Perfect is the enemy of good
If I could make it better don’t you think I would
If I say it’s not good enough, I hope it's understood
Perfect is the enemy of good
Perfect is the enemy of good

Perfect is the Enemy of Good

Perfect Is The Enemy

HAY SOL EN EL DESIERTO 

https://youtu.be/VNR5wlM59q4

"Vea que yo soy de Tlanchinol,
ahí yo me amarrarro, me sacarro, 
ellos, ellos, 
vea que yo voy a cambiar así na'
con mis zapatos de México, na'má". 

Es ayer, era hoy,
alumbrasteme, acuérdate:
polen, flores, hay sol en el desierto.

Será ayer, fue mañana,
arrancasteme, acuérdate:
polen, flores, cactus en el desierto.

No es ayer, no era hoy,
ausentasteme, acuérdate:
polen, flores, hay sol en el desierto.

Do You Care

“Inspired by the beauty and rhythm of the islands, ‘Indonesia’ brings a smooth, tropical vibe that flows like ocean waves. A perfect blend of calm melodies and rhythmic bounce — this track feels like golden sunsets and late-night energy.”

VARISONIK - Kiss the world

Alt rock with a bit of slide guitar thrown in.

Kiss The World

Let me start this by saying nothing lasts forever
We're just a momentary flash of life on a world that spins round
Cause this planet's a centrifuge and it rips us apart
We seem to find it so easy to separate beauty from ugly
But all I see is people made of plasticine 

Kiss the world
Kiss the world
Kiss the world
Kiss the world

You can't stop this by praying, we can't change our DNA
We live under the same sky whether it's night or day 
And we'll all breathe the same air when there's nothing to say
We seem to find it so easy to separate beauty from ugly
But let me tell you people dream imperfect dreams 

We seem to find it so easy to separate beauty from ugly
Naivety's deleted from enlightened minds

Kiss the world
Kiss the world
Kiss the world
Kiss the world

I wanna kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss the world
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss the world
I wanna kiss

VARISONIK - Kiss The World

Disaster

Blue Light

A song for anyone who has ever tried to keep a memory alive inside a melody. It's about the way a guitar can be a vessel for love and loss, sending notes out like messages in a bottle, and finding a fragile, beautiful home for someone in the space between the strings.

Inside This Song

I write songs.  I'm not a performer any more than I need to be to have my songs heard once in a while. I hope that better musicians than I encounter my songs and decide to play them.  I just write songs to have them exist in the world. If the world likes them then the world can do with them what it will.  All these recordings are demos.  I've tried to make them as musically interesting as I can but they are all awaiting the skilled hand of someone who knows how to make songs shine.
