Terry Carroll Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) This song is probably gonna come off as being very sarcastic. It very well may be a little bit, but it really has a deeper meaning in the lyric that is kind of hidden. I try to have any song I write to have something that means something to me. I tend to seem simple in my writing and be upfront, but I also have something in the lyric that could get by some people, but not all. I was feeling a little Kinks vibe coming to me as I was writing this. It may have something to do with the way I was singing a couple parts Edited October 15, 2023 by Terry Carroll more info 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I really like how the lyrics build up, how the guy is so perfect and he's every woman's dream. And you just know there's going to be something about him not so perfect, which is probably there at 2:45. I say probably because I couldn't make out the words right there which is likely due to my hearing loss issue. So can you provide the text because I really want to know what's up with this guy. ? -Bjorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Carroll Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 Thank you for listening Bjorn! A lot of people say that lyrics don't matter. I'm not one of them. I don't think I'm very good with lyrics. I work hard to be better at lyrics every time I write a song, so it means a lot to me that you asked for the lyrics. . 120. He's The Perfect Guy Well he never checks out any other gal He only has eyes for you Never goes out drinking with his pals Always makes it home for things to do He's thankful for all you do each day Tells you so in all so many ways Brings you flowers when you least expect him to Those times you need them most, some how he knew Chorus He's the perfect guy He's Every woman's dream He's every thing a man can be He's the perfect guy He's Every woman's dream He's more man than you can even see Well there's nothing that he wouldn't do for you He's building a life to dream Leaving you no question dreams come true leaving you no doubt love's all it seems He's filling your heart with days of sun Fills both day and night with endless fun Makes you smile when things can be a bleeding drag Will not try to push when it's not your bag Repeat chorus Is everything in life so much better Some how he makes you feel so much greater 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Wilson Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Terry, this is one of the best songs I've heard from you! The mix is big and clear, and the performances are tight. I love the bridge and total arrangement. You've become quite the producer! Encore! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treesha Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Had to listen, yeah he sounds like a pretty good guy ha. Not sure if I got your hidden meaning...The song is good, the structure is interesting, the mix is good. Its got a fun attitude. I would enjoy the drums a bit louder, just a taste thing. I appreciate when people post the lyrics so thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 What a fun and interesting song. I love songs that tell a story or offer some kind of social observation. This does both. The mix and arrangement sound good and the instrumentation and performance are great. Thanks for posting --- I enjoyed the listen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I complete a song I try to bring up the drums a bit. I have had some success, looks like I have a way to go. Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
