'Perfect' appreciation
 
A great song/single and a great music video

Rider 05-17-2017 10:06 PM

one might say it's perfect.

run2pee 05-17-2017 10:15 PM

I want to like it so bad but something about the production on the drum track (weird eq or something?) tickles my irritation parts and grates, so I can't listen to it a lot

ohnoitsbonnie 05-17-2017 10:45 PM

I do like it. Sometimes all of adore is amazing.

FoolofaTook 05-17-2017 10:56 PM

I like it. And I only like about two thirds of adore.

FoolofaTook 05-17-2017 11:02 PM

Think perfect would have been better acoustic like to sheila. if adore was acoustic folksy with the. rocker/electronic songs omitted it would have pwned

FoolofaTook 05-17-2017 11:03 PM

There are times when i think to sheila is the best tsp song ever

I think I read once that this was Billy's attempt to follow 1979. I *know* I've read that he thinks 1979 is the best pop song he ever wrote. Of course I disagree. But the only song I wrote that got airplay outside of my hometown I wasn't crazy about, so what do I know?

I agree

FoolofaTook 05-17-2017 11:26 PM

Imagine LMGTWTY done in the To Sheila style.

My withers just shivered keen.

My favorite version is from the Much Music '98 gig - just love that groove on this one. Flawless electric version.

Note: yeah, I know... embed, embed... but the uploader disabled that, so you have to click like it's the stone age.

let's use the Perfect appreciation thread to appreciate To Sheila!

qwerty sp 05-18-2017 02:07 AM

Sheila is an Australian phrase

qwerty sp 05-18-2017 02:08 AM

The Perfect video makes living in the states in 1998 look fucking ace

smashingjj 05-18-2017 05:37 AM

not one of my favourite songs from adore to be honest. not bad, just a bit on the boring side, especially after to sheila and before Daphne descends

FoolofaTook 05-18-2017 07:37 AM

Czarina would have featured prominently on my fantasy acoustic folksy adore.

thread topic? I know not what you speak of!

FoolofaTook 05-18-2017 07:38 AM

And once in a while.

Has everyone heard the KROQ Christmas version? Might be my favorite live performance:

https://ia800302.us.archive.org/21/i...8-12-12t03.mp3

Anyway I love Perfect, but I could never get into the videos for it or 1979, they just seemed so…goofy to me

They are cheesy

MisterLove 05-20-2017 11:48 PM

Was never a fan of the song, but it would have been a better 1st single than the abomination of Ava Adore.

wHATcOLOR 05-21-2017 01:00 AM

*appreciates* i especially liked the acoustic performances

qwerty sp 05-21-2017 01:57 AM

I think I can hear D'Arcy singing at the start of the album version!

FlamingGlobes 05-21-2017 11:15 AM

I've always loved it and it gives me sickening nostalgia pangs at certain times. Also, one of those BC songs that brilliantly sums up a divorce (at least that's what I think he's writing about).

FoolofaTook 05-21-2017 06:15 PM

She is so fucking hot. What show was that?

FoolofaTook 05-21-2017 06:15 PM

Frazier. Yeah

qwerty sp 05-21-2017 08:29 PM

I don't think she's quite... perfect

:nerd:
