Well, Hear to Learn asked me to join in so I did. Thank you ladies and gentleman. Thank you very much. Beautiful song Lady J. I sang it to the Colonel and he cried. Think I'll do it for my new movie, Blue South Africa. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/the-paradox-of-youThe Paradox of You Performed by David Snyder V1 Listening to the pouring rain I know the sun will come Light from dark and dry from wet When wintertime is done I see myself as the earth And you the vast blue sky Sometimes I keep you grounded And you just let me fly CH I love it when we talk I love the silence too I love the yin and yang of life and the paradox, the paradox of you V2 You are my true harmony the balance that I find through the windows of my days In the corners of my mind Sometimes you’re the thick and long roots growing in Graceland in the night Sometimes I’m the green leaves of Memphis bathing in your light CH I love it when we talk I love the silence too I love the yin and yang of life and the paradox, the paradox of you V3 In and out, hot and cold Fear and courage, young and old Good and bad, salty sweet Up and down, messy and neat Listening to the pouring rain I know the sun will come Light from dark and dry from wet When wintertime is done CH I love it when we talk I love the silence too I love the yin and yang of life and the paradox, the paradox of you Lyrics by Joanne Cooper, Music by David Snyder, copyright 2018 performed and recorded by David Snyder, Day of Faith Studios Style is _POPPNOS.STY (PopPiano 12-8 Ballad (65 RS)) RealTracks in style: 533:Bass, Electric, 12-8 Crystal Sw 065 RealTracks in style: 895:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment PopSlow12-8 Ev 060 RealTracks in style: ~526:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Hank Sw 065 RealDrums in style: Pop128^4-a:Sidestick Brushes , b:SideStick, HiHat

Did you hear that screaming girl in the front row? That was me!
Seriously! Not just Elvis...LIVE Elvis? Nice touch.
This struck me as wrong in all the right ways.
I asked you, thinking you would bring something unique. You did NOT disappoint. LOL
Great job!

Enjoyed this version too David.
Thought the verses were particularly strong.
A nice mellow Elvis there.
Groovy.
Cheers.

Ha ha! David that is just totally awesome. Would love to see the movie... you had me smiling all the way through. I can’t believe how each interpretation of the lyric brings something so unique and individual. The shear power of this software and the creative genius on this forum comes shining through...

When I saw you were going to do your thing with this David, I knew it would be something original!! And it was! Interesting version of "the King's" take on the song. Enjoyed!! Take care. Greg
I saw Elvis on the PG music forum!

Somebody had to do it!!
Thank you. Thank you very much!!
Now make it REALLY funny, and add a section at the end where the chord progression plays once more and you hear Elvis say "Hey Scotty? What the hell is a paradox anyway? A place to tie a paraboats?"

Hi David,
That was uncanny!
If I hadn't known he was dead.....
He is dead, isn't he? It's just that I saw someone in Walmart who
looked just like him.

David, PLEASE tell us that you had that white jumpsuit and cape on when you sang this!! Of course he did. That's his "every day wear." If he didn't have it on, that would mean...yikes. Tell me you did NOT record the song naked!? Seriously though, I gave it another few listens today and and couldn't help but laugh. It's done REALLY well. Thanks for stepping up to the challenge!

Hello, David
What a cool version of "The Paradox of You"!
Yes, this is really a live show of Elvis at La Vegas.
Very fun!
