Poser

Remixed and remastered 4 January 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

Peace Of Mind

It All Comes Natural

Die in Vain

Underneath the sterile lights
Lying still my breath is tight
A cold touch, a whispered lie,
Entire life flash before my eyes

Hidden world beneath my skin
Silent whispers screaming deep within
Every heartbeat every sigh
Protect a fantasy built on lies

As the chemicals flow
Unveil what no one knows 
Embrace the truth that shown
All is revealed as I glow

Sit in silence as secrets unfold
In neon light our stories are told
A mirror to my hidden honesty
And as for me I don’t like what I see

As the chemicals flow
Unveil what no one knows 
Embrace the truth that shown
All is revealed as I glow

Die In Vain

90's inspired hard rock written, produced and recorded in Metro Detroit.

Lyrics:
Can't find the aptitude and leave it all behind. But then again behind is where I thrive.
Pushing back on what we know. Let's pack it up, it's time to go.

And cloistered hope has gone away. Your storied past just fails to blow my mind.
Bruise your soul one last time. I'm giving up and that's just fine.
I'm going on a ride.

Compensation grifts, like stealing from yourself. Never mind it's always someone else.
Don't rely on what you see. Just grab your things, its time to leave.

And cloistered hope has gone away. Your storied past just fails to blow my mind.
Bruise you soul one last time. I'm giving up and that's just fine, I'm going on that ride today!

And we're rolling. Got me rolling. Now we're rolling in despair.

And cloistered hope has gone away. Your storied past just fails to blow my mind.
Broken soul has come to play. I'm giving up and that's Ok, I'm going on that ride today!

That Ride (remix)

Get ready to groove with "Thursday Night Special" - a playful, rhythm-packed classic rock style anthem. Why not start the weekend early?

Thursday Night Special

The long-overdue timing and gap removal fix for Release CCCV back on NovemDeka album.  The 2 second gap after "modus vivendi" was something of a scandal at the time.

This is not just the gap fix : there are other subtle speed and hesitation fixes in it plus a very slight speedup.
