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, Chad Copelin and Steve Lillywhite dance to the song (and Steve falling to the floor as he jumps)[1] 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:

Vin1.jpg 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.[2][3]
