Perfect Songs

[upperclasszero]

None of you will agree with this. These are just the songs, that to me are perfect. They just can't get better, no matter if the instrumentals are average, or if the vocals are bland. It's the song as a whole that matters.

Houston Calls - Bob and Bonnie
Instrumental- Average pop punk guitars/bass/drums with an infectious piano part
Vocals- The singing is good, not great. The song is catchy
Lyrics- hooooooooly fuck. upon reading the lyrics to this song for the first time, i couldnt help but smile, it tells the tale of a love that lasts forever, and cant be broken from anything. it's the perfect love song.
What it means to me- When I listen to this song, i think of my girlfriend, and how we've been together for such a long time, and the same spark there was at the beginning, is still present now.
Favorite line: "I can't believe that you're still acting the same like we first met"

Always You- Amber Pacific
Instrumental-Really fucking catchy guitar intro, leads into a really catchy pop punk song instrumentally, the lead guitar is fun to play, and to listen to.

Favorite line: "Good time last forever" it's true

Send The Pain Below- Chevelle
Instrumental: really simple guitar chord progression, but effective. overall heavy, depressing sound.

I suppose everyone's idea of a perfect song is subjective. Whilst I like a couple of songs on that list, I wouldnt say any of them are perfect...
