General information

Perfect Dream is a song that was originally recorded for the third album before it got scrapped and reworked. Currently, very little is known about this song. On March 19, 2010, Amy put up a video in which her and Steve Lillywhite dance to the song (and Steve falling to the floor as he jumps) which Amy later confirmed its title as Perfect Dream on EvClub. Steve and Amy talked about Steve's falling to the floor on his radio show, East Village Radio:

Steve: Ah! The stomping! Well, that’s about me, that’s nothing to do… Steve’s stomping… Amy: No, it was pretty funny! Well, that’s us in the studio. I mean, I wonder if they know what we were doing. Steve: We were doing some, some stomping, uh… Amy: A stomp track. Steve: A stomp track. Amy: To, like, effect and filter and make into a really cool, like, beat. Steve: Right. And I was stomping, we had to stomp on the beat. Now, I realized… Amy: *laughs* Steve: As I was, see these are all these thoughts that are all gonna happen within a split second, but as I was jumping up I realized I’m a little ahead of the beat… so I need to hold, I need to slow… Amy: I need to defy gravity and stay in the air longer and that doesn’t work. *laughs* Steve: Exactly! That’s what I was trying to do! And all these split second decisions happened in my mind that actually ended up me, falling over, and uh… Amy: It was priceless.

The song did not make it to the final track listing of the third album.
