Perfect for You, by Ariana May
'Perfect for You' from the debut EP 'Perfect for You' by Ariana May.'Perfect for You' is an optimistic yet nostalgic ballad that reflects how you will find someone that is perfect for you; even if it doesn't feel like you will, or even if you feel like you have lost the one that you were destined to be with - someone beautiful and true will find their way into your life, and you'll "laugh and smile with them too".The EP 'Perfect for You' is a collection of three songs: 'Perfect for You', 'Embers of the Sun' and 'So many things I should have said'. Though each song has a different message, they all possess the same paradoxical moods of poignancy and optimism; inspiring us with courage for the future or comfort in our memories. All the songs revolve around relationships and how each moment in life shapes us and makes us stronger.
