Perfect From Simple Plan (Cover by Samuel and Frans)

Hi, all my dear friends. Good afternoon, and I wish you continued health. We are both “The People People”, an acoustic band on Hive Platform to share the songs we both play. I'm Samuel Stifen a guitarist and my friend Frans is a vocalist. Once a week, we will be present in the Hive Music community to present the acoustic versions of the songs we play. We hope you like it and will find it entertaining here.

On this occasion, Frans and I will perform a cover song from a Canadian band, Simple Plan. They are a cool band. Even the music they play is always youthful. Today the two of us will play a song from them called Perfect. It can be said that this song is an old song because it was released in 2002. I have the album too, which is “No Pads, No Helmets. Just Balls". When I play Perfect song, this song enters my soul.

Because in the written lyrics, you can imagine that this song is about a boy's apology to his father for not being what he wanted. The boy tries to make his father proud of what he does. However, the decision is what the father hates. This song also tells about me. When my father wanted me to be a cop, but I didn't want to. I want to be a good musician and be successful and make my father proud. But still, my father would be more proud if I became a police officer. Even though I haven't been successful in music, I'm sure one day I can make my dad smile with my achievements.

Lyric

“Hey, Dad, look at me
Think back, and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I'm wasting my time
Doing things I wanna do?
But it hurts when you disapprove all along
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
Can't pretend that I'm alright
And you can't change me

'Cause we lost it all
Nothin' lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect

I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care any more
And now I try hard to make it
I just wanna make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's all right

'Cause we lost it all
And nothin' lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
And nothing's gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard just to talk to you
But you don't understand

'Cause we lost it all
And nothin' lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect”
