Perfect is the enemy of great when good enough is better than nothing at all...

This song is called "Perfect is the enemy of great" and it's for anyone who is letting perfectionism prevent them from doing something awesome. I wrote this song as a result of sitting on another song for almost 3 years without showing it to anyone, because I still wasn't happy with the way it sounded. I am still improving and learning, but that's not a good enough reason to never share with anyone. This song was fun to make because I gave myself permission to not be perfect on everything. In related news, I also used this motto often while building my studio room in my basement (which is where I recorded this song), as my construction skills are far from perfect. I definitely would have never finished building this room if it all had to be perfect. But it's structurally safe so it's good enough :P So anyway, thanks for listening, and I hope you go do something great, or at least something good enough :D Life is short, friends.


0:00 - Intro

Lyrics:
0:11 - Verse One
I'm feeling like
Another weekend
Another month and maybe I can get it right
It's almost there
The finish line
I've spent hours on this and yet it's still not

0:31 - Chorus
Perfect is the enemy of great
When good enough is better
Than nothing at all
Perfect is the enemy of great
When good enough is better
Than nothing at all
Than nothing at all
Than nothing at all

1:02 - Verse 2
Maybe I'll find
Another hour
Another life where I can really nail it down
The way I want
The way I hear it
I'll keep it sitting on a drive until it's

1:23 - Chorus
Perfect is the enemy of great
When good enough is better
Than nothing at all
Perfect is the enemy of great
When good enough is better
Than nothing at all
Than nothing at all
Than nothing at all
Than nothing at all
Than nothing at all

2:05 - Bridge
I'm building for
The critic in me
The critic I imagine up there in my mind
So it just dies
When it could bring life
I can share it even if it's still not

2:25 - Chorus
Perfect is the enemy of great
When good enough is better
Than nothing at all
Perfect is the enemy of great
When good enough is better
Than nothing at all
Than nothing at all
Than nothing at all
Than nothing at all
Than nothing at all
