music Perfume could have been the new Everytime (Video)

[Ephemeral]

I was in the car the other day listening to an old playlist when Perfume feat. Sia came on. My initial reaction was to skip the song, since I wasn't in the mood to hear a heavily edited 'ballad' with upbeat instrumentals, but I started listening to the lyrics and thought... 'you know what? There's actually something here.'

 

Granted, when you listen to the radio version of Perfume and/or re-watch the angsty music video, the entire production just feels painfully commercial. But when you strip everything away and add a couple new instrumentals (which I took the liberty of doing because I had time today), Perfume is really beautiful...and sad.

 

Honestly, if Britney had released this acoustic version and if her team had created a video that reflected the depth of the lyrics, I think we could've had another Everytime on our hands. Forgive my average video editing skills, but what are your thoughts?

I like it more than original, sonically and visually 

First I winced at Sia's part, but after short moment it made sense; that other woman feel the same, she also use perfumes to mark a territory.
 It is so much better.

That was so good

i don't think it could have been the new everytime because from the get go everytime had a beautiful piano melody to make company to all the rest, but it could be better just like this. great job.

Everytime as a song is lightyears better than Perfume so... nope

while perfume does sound more juvenile, this composition and video did elevate it. nice work.
