about

There is great beauty and strength in our unique imperfections. We try to do our best to appreciate and accept the beauty and transience in what is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. In this “ever changing world in which we live in” we all experience pain, loss and change. These experiences hopefully deepen our wisdom and compassion to accept and appreciate our scars for what they are: evidence of our courage, vulnerability, and our personal journey of healing and growth. May we offer ourselves and others more love, acceptance and kindness.

'Perfect' is Anam Danu's first single release since the 2022 album - "Soul Making".

lyrics

There’s always something - lurking down below
Hiding in the darkness where the sun don’t go
A ripple on the surface - a shadow in the deep
Underneath the rocks where the monsters sleep
Always unexpected - taken by surprise
The seeds of doubt take root before your eyes

But you're perfect
You're perfect

Looking for guidance - through your teenage years
Parents couldn't help you - they just interfered
You tried your hand at music - seemed they couldn’t wait
You were no Mozart - you were way too late
They never noticed - the talents that you had
You didn’t blame them - but it made you sad

You’re perfect - as you are
There's nothing careless in your repertoire
And changes - when they come
Flow from the trials within - that you overcome

But little changes - as the years go by
Older but no wiser and you wonder why
Places that you pass through - people that you meet
Still they try to fix you - life is bittersweet
Do you ever wonder why they need to help
If they left you alone you'd do the job yourself

You’re perfect - as you are (just as you are)
There's nothing careless in your repertoire
And changes - when they come (change as it comes)
Flow from the trials within - that you overcome

You're perfect - I guess you knew (I guess you knew)
That everyone of us has work to do
But if we - seize the day (we seize the day)
There's nothing that remains - can stand in our way
