Perfection Kills

Product Information

You can do this by focusing on your work process, working to independently validate your efforts, and to produce the most complete output that you can. Step 1: Focus on the process Accepting the tendency toward perfectionism does a lot to diminish the yammering self-criticism. Some people tell the internal committee to be quiet for a while. If it’s the voice of a critical parent, one can ask her to sit in the car while an important interview is going on. Everyone is flawed in some manner, and the varieties of characteristics add to the flavor of life. You might have a tendency toward perfectionism. You can laugh about it when you are thirty minutes early for an event. Laugh again when you ask your spouse one more time to look for the lint roller and go over your outfit that is already perfect.” – Ellen Bowers

Being a perfectionist often means you have a hard time delegating tasks to others. With an all-or-nothing mentality, you most likely believe that there is a right way to do something and that everything else is wrong. And because other people don’t always have the same understanding, you might not approve of their way. So you think, It’s just easier to do it myself. But not delegating when you need to can cause all kinds of problems for your business and stress on yourself. 8. You personalize everything.That there is an effective use of keyboards or studio effects throughout ‘Too Far Gone’ should not be ignored either, there modern aural approach offers a further dichotomy to the song’s theme and will be noticeable and relevant elsewhere on songs. As are some of the vocal harmonies applied. Both are techniques prevalent in mainstream pop much, albeit more so sampling and digital voice tunings, but they keep Patlansky concurrent musically. Vocally we can hear as evidence of this ‘Mayday’. While ostensibly about the rat race and the possibility of losing a loved one by pursuing it, and playing out like 60s girl band ballad with a man’s deep croon fronting it, it’s the repeated chorus line of “Mayday” akin to the nursery rhyme lullabies of modern R ’n’ B that acts as ear worm. This doesn’t negate the song however, for the most part it is a slow 12 bar blues with sweet guitar phrases along the way, with lyrical solo of Hawaiian steel textures and sparkly turns of phrase. The important thing to keep in mind with this approach is that it is helpful to include people closer to whatever you are working on but also people who are further away from it.

All the songs on PERFECTION KILLS were recorded and engineered by Jaco Naudé at Scherzo Productions, mixed by Stefan Swart in South Africa and mastered by Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Mastering U.S.A. A desire for mastery is certainly admirable and can lead to a fulfilled life. However, perfectionism, whether in what one imagines others expect or in what is expected of a child, mate, or coworker, ultimately leads to the erosion of relationships.” – Ellen Bowers His 9th studio album, 'Perfection Kills,' is set for worldwide release on Friday 2nd February 2017. Dan started writing songs and recording the new album in 2016. Some of the songs were co-written and arranged with Theo Crous.

People call me a perfectionist, but I’m not. I’m a rightist. I do something until it’s right, and then I move on to the next thing.” — James Cameron
