Try to be nice, it's the first one of my own pieces I've decided to put up and I realise it needs work. Someone told me once that music is the sense of anticipation and resolution, whether or not certain notes and chords will resolve in a way that is pleasing to the ear, whether or not you can predict when and where dissonance and imperfect notes will return to a more pleasant sound. Well this is my little piano sketch and I tried to play with this idea a bit, having little chords that don't quite sound right and then delaying their resolution back to a more complete sound. Imperfection is what makes things interesting in my opinion so thats why thats the name I have put to it. I can hear sounds in other songs and that much easier then when I sit at the piano in silence and try to figure something out in my head, but a few of you have asked me to put up something original and although it's something that needs a lot of work, here it is.

Composition is something I am trying to improve at. Any comments are more than appreciated, good or bad!

EDIT
Not long after uploading this, I was sent these lyrics that a talented individual had jotted down whilst listening to th piece. Now i hadn't set out to create a song that had a vocal melody, however these words seemed very much to sum up what i was trying to express so it seemed only right for me to put them here for you all to see.

We conceal weakness
Subtle, not secret
Let the world see it
Perfectly imperfect
Perfect, im...
Perfect, im...
Perfect, im...
Perfect

Have you wondered why
Have you ever wondered why, Im...
Perfect

A... symmetric
Exactly complete
Beautiful scars tell
The story of me
Inexactness
Its close enough
Tell me - perfection
What's it a measure of

Just remember somewhere
There's a truth in all you do
You must find it from within you
Cuz the world just wants you perfect
Perfect, im...
Perfect, im...
Perfect

You conceal weakness
Subtle, not secret
Let the world see it
Perfectly imperfect
Perfect, im...
Perfect, im...
Perfect, im...
Perfect

You're
A... symmetric
Exactly complete
Beautiful scars tell
The story of me
Crooked, lacking,
Flawed, amiss
Please let me help you
See the beauty of this

Just remember somewhere
There's a truth in all you do
You must find it from within you
Cuz the world just wants you perfect
Perfect, im...
Perfect, im...
Perfect

We conceal weakness
Subtle, not secret
Let the world see it
Imperfectly perfect

Enjoy!

  • I just found this now, and it's amazing! I love it!

  • This is beautiful. Fantastic work, keep it up! :)

  • The lyrics are really really really good

    how old are you may I ask?

  • @Moniiica3 And, by the way, those lyrics were pretty awesome!

  • Wow. I love this! Oh, I would KILL to get a MP3 version (ok, not kill). It got me a little emotional, this would make a very good OST. Ever listened to Karekano OST? I know it's anime, but it's one of the very best OST I've ever listened to.

  • I love this song, it feels like it's telling a story. I would definately buy the sheet music for this.

  • Luke your amazing! <3

  • Excellent you definitely achieved your aim. Good title for the piece too, the resolution of the chords played are im-perfect.

  • i love it.... the intro might benefit from being a bit shorter but i'm not sure :D i loved it though.

  • this is so good! How can anyone say this is bad?! <3 You have inspired me to make an original piano song! *starts scribbling piano notes...*
