If Things Were Perfect

About If Things Were Perfect

“Remember that band James? Before James became successful they put out some singles on Factory Records. One was called “Hymn From The Village” and “If Things Were Perfect” was the B side. For some reason I liked that title. So when I wrote and recorded this song, even though there’s no relationship between the title and the song, I just gave it that name. I don’t know why. Sort of an homage to James even though the song sounds nothing like James. .
