Hello, forum friends.

As everyone seems to be glad to have a song on Joanne's “The Paradox Of You”, I also decided to join in a hurry.
To adapt to the melody, I added some words to the lyrics and replaced the order of the clauses. Please forgive me, Joanne.
As it was urgent, I could not arrange a vocalist and I had a vocaloid, Avanna sing this.
In the future, if a vocalist who can sing English songs is found, I would like to make an orchestration on and re-record it with her.
Any comments encouraged.
Always welcome.

Best regards.

The Paradox of You
(J. Cooper – S. Adachi)

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

You are my true harmony
the balance that I find
through the windows of my days
In corners of my mind

Sometimes you’re the thick and long roots
growing in the night
Sometimes I’m the brilliant green leaves
bathing in your light

I love it when we talk
I love the silence too
I love the yin and yang of life
The paradox of you

You are just my harmony
the balance that I find
through the windows of my days
In corners of my mind

Sometimes you’re the thick and long roots
growing in the night
Sometimes I’m the brilliant green leaves
bathing in your light

In and out, hot and cold
Fear and courage, young and old
Good and bad, salty sweet
Up and down, messy neat

I love it when we talk
I love the silence too
I love the yin and yang of life
The paradox of you

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

Shigeki,
A delightfully melodic version which is an interesting counterpoint to the reflective lyrics; like being in a jazz club and considering the Paradox over a drink!
The vocaloid has a nice ethereal quality; it will be interesting to compare with a vocalist.

This is surprisingly cheerful version, lush and mellow Latin arrangement, excellent selection of realtracks. Beautiful melody and enjoyable chording. This is going to be huge when you get a real singer to sing it smile

As RichMac said "Delightfully sophisticated version typical of your work Shigeki."

The Vocaloid technology is amazing and your use of it is stunningly good.
The jazz arrangement works well and sounds like a pro production all the way.

Nice!!!!

Wow - what a tune! You absolutely nailed this. The mix is flawless, and it sounds so professionally put together. It has a very interesting groove too. It is unconventional, but still somehow just as catchy. You seriously outdid yourself here smile

Phenomenal job - you should be very proud of this. Thank you for sharing!

Hello, Charlie, Robert, Joanne, Janne, David, Peter, Richard, Torrey, Janice & Bud, floyd, Deryk, Scott,

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I much appreciate your really nice comments.
I am really glad you all like this tune and Avanna's vocal.

I tried using for the first time Avanna, a vocaloid which was developed in English-speaking countries.
I don't know honestly whether or not she pronounce it properly.
I did not use Miku because her English pronunciation was too bad and I could not understand what she was saying at all even if I listened to her singing carefully.

Joanne,
Thank you very much for accepting my changing the lyrics etc.
Are you surely you will have a go at recording it?
I am very happy to hear that. Please try it by all means.
I uploaded the music sheet of this song, karaoke and BIAB SGU file on the link below.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/np19ylhpldj6zvg/AAB-VuzZVRNm7kucyvP8Ck6Oa?dl=0

The current key is Fmajor, but I think that I can deliver another key file immediately if it does not fit.

Thank you again to all.

Best regards.

This is a super jazz version of Joanne's lyrics.

I really liked this one. Super choice of backing tracks and Avanna was very good, however I would like to hear this again with a real singer.

Two thumbs up.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Shigeki Adachi,

You've done a really great job with this. The melody, harmony and arrangement are fantastic and the mix is equally excellent.

I found it very easy to sit back and listen to your work. I liked your addition of lyrics... very nicely done!

All the best,
Noel

Hello, Noel

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I much appreciate your really nice words and continuous supports.

Whenever I write a song, I am always having much difficulty to decide whether I should change my melody to fit the lyrics, or I should give priority to the melody.
This time I prioritized the melody sequence and added a few words.
Your words "I liked your addition of lyrics... very nicely done!" encouraged me very much.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi
