DAVE TOWNSEND - Perfect

Unreleased song by DAVE TOWNSEND (composer for the classic "Miss You Nights" & singer for The Alan Parsons Project in the 70s) featuring himself on all of the vocals and instruments. "Big fan of English Baroque composer Henry Purcell. The contrapuntal harmonic section an homage to his style. Wanted to evoke a feeling of summer afternoon 'whimsy' and reflection. The notion of nostalgia, whereby in hindsight everything seems perfect. 'Let it live again, let it breathe. Rediscover, re-believe' could refer to a past relationship, a past faith, or a past security."-Dave Townsend
LYRICS:
"You offered so much more
than I’d ever need.
Like the old time mission
Down on Easy Street.
But you never question, do you?
What you don’t deserve.
And we took for granted,
And we missed the signs,
As the best of times
were slipping through our fingers.
Everything with you was perfect
Perfect with you.
Let it live again
Let it breathe
Re-discover, re-believe
And we should light a candle.
Light the candle, touch the flame
Take our chances once again.
Everything with you was perfect
Perfect with you.
All the love you know is the love you give"-DAVE TOWNSEND

I feel like this song belongs on a 70’s Carpenters album. Beautiful.

Lovely song and vocals with a gentle understated arrangement. The layered backing vocals are particularly wonderful!

I see Lenny in the background, but i`m not sure who the other chap is, but he looks familiar. This is a good song well recorded.

Nice background harmony - actually sound more like Chris Rainbow doing the harmony to me.
