Joanne Cooper wrote the lyrics, Band-in-a-Box Style 80s Pop Ballad Piano-all MIDI is providing the backing tracks, and I'm trying to sing. All constructive comments, good and bad, welcomed. PS - If any of you real singers want to try this I will gladly supply the backing track and/or the BiaB file. PPS - I though a paradox was two dox! The Paradox of You Listening to the pouring rain I know the sun will come Light from dark 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 Chorus 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 my harmony the balance that I find through the windows of my days In corners of my mind Sometimes you are the roots growing in the night Sometimes I am the leaves bathing in your light Chorus I love it when we talk I love the silence too I love the yin and yang of life The paradox of you Bridge In and out, hot and cold Fear and courage, young and old Good and bad, salty sweet Up and down, messy neat Chorus I love it when we talk I love the silence too I love the yin and yang of life The paradox of you

Well done Mario. This is another fine version using Joanne's words which shows how nice the words are. Listening to what different people are doing with one set of words really is brilliant.
A big thumbs up to your rendition Mario.

Mario. Love it, love it!!!
As said by bob, you should definitely sing more often.
I would love to try and sing your version when I get back from my vacation. I am away skiing in France (snowed in today with winds of 90 km per hour and wind chill factor of-31 celcuis!).
Well done...we should do more of these...

Very nice, Mario. Your melody really fits the word styling well.
The chord change at the end of the chorus is a nice choice.

Well done...we should do more of these... Thanx Joanne this means a lot to me. I just hoped to do a decent job on your great lyrics. -31°C is what we up here in Western New York State call a little chilly  When you get home send me an email and I will send you the BiaB file. Unless of course you can sing it in the same key as I did and you want the backing tracks then I will send you a MP3.

Mario I thought this was an excellent vocal. Loved the lyrics. Very classy song.. Thanx Scott. As far as my singing goes I really don't care for my vocals that much. I much prefer to play instrumentals than to sing. However with the encouragement I am getting I just my start to sing more.

Mario,
Really well done. Your mellow voice and simple arrangement suits the song.
I agree with Floyd-that unexpected chorus chord change is nice!
