"There is something about the way you sing this song that reminds me of Josh Kelley's Cain and Abel song... You're very talented, good luck!"
Talk about a killer comparison in the comments section! If you're familiar with Josh Kelley's "Cain and Able," (the commentator mispelt the song's original pun-title), then you'll understand the soulful essence that shines through in "Perfection is a Nuisance." Both tracks capture a rawness and depth that just hit you right in the feels.
"If you want to find the demons, If you like, you'll fall to pieces, If you're fine, you'll find your own way out."
These opening lines invite us to confront our inner struggles, acknowledging that our path to self-discovery might involve facing our personal demons. It hints at the notion that embracing vulnerability and acknowledging our brokenness can lead us to find strength within.
"But if you put aside your demons, Hell, you rip right through the ceiling, There's no stopping you, no stopping up, No stopping walls to break down."
What's musically endearing about the track, in an almost Daniel Johnston-esque kind of way, is how the the guitars go slightly out of tune during the minor section of the song, and break through in more perfect pitch during the major sections. These imperfections allude to the title and can actually be a common acoustic phenomenon. Whether used intentionally or not, it adds a layer of honesty to the music which aligns with the overall theme.
So anyway, enjoy this track!
