Ok...here is my attempt of "Paradox of You." Paradox Of You Version IX It's meant to be a nod to the Canadian company that makes these wonderful products by using a sound that countries bands helped make popular. Inspired by the sounds of Nickelback, Theory of a Deadman, etc... PLEASE NOTE : I am a writer and an arranger. I am NOT much into mixing by any means. EQ is my sworn enemy. So, to be blunt, I suck it pretty bad...and simply didn't do it. I didn't have the hours it would take to make it sound worse! lol Bring on the mud! I guess there is a point you just post it. There is so much more I would do with regenerating tracks, especially the lead guitar, and then comping and pulling where it makes sense. Just don't have the time. It could be done though. I tried to do something I hadn't heard yet. I get this won't be for everybody by any means. If you're expecting "50 years"...please don't.  RealTracks in song: 1749:Synth, Rhythm ModernDancePopOctave16thsA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in song: ~~387:Bass, Electric, Metal Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 639:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm HardRockThrash Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 642:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm HardRockThrashHollow Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 394:Guitar, Electric, Soloist Metal Wild Ev 120 (SemiWild) Drums are Slate triggered from my kit via me. Lyrics supplied by our friend Joanne! Thank You! Don't shoot me for what I've done to your song.  ------------------------------------------------ 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 that was an extraordinary version of the song. Don't think I've heard Band In A Box sound so heavy before - and it was brilliantly done with some incredible flourishes. Excellent vocals.
Great work.

Hi HTL.
Wonderful energy, freshness and life in your song.
I think it's great just as it is.
Turned it way up!

Raaaaaaaahhh!!!!!!!!! You been holding out on us HTL. This sounds awesome! Man, I took off my Elvis suit and I was buck naked when I listened to this, eating a peanut butter and banana sandwich dropping crumbs all over my stomach while I was nodding my head to this crushing tune. Just wanted to leave you with that.

Killer!!! Workin it on the intro. Man you can play! Grohl got nuthin on you. Super rock vocal and the vinyl scratches and vocal effects as well as the shutdown at end are all nice touches. You best keep on posting or a lot of us will be disappointed. Very impressive, Tom

So glad my tylenol had kicked in before pressing "play"... and I really enjoyed this!
Brilliant intro and close - one of the most inventive I`ve heard on the forum.Very good high energy vocal too.
A most heavy Paradox.

WOW that was GREAT!!!! I have to wonder if you are pulling our leg with all the EQ talk! I listened with earbuds but it still sounded fantastic to me. The vocals on this are awesome!! Sure it's different, but variety is the spice of life and you put out an awesome version of this tune here! Thanks, Torrey

Thanks HTL. Added you to the main "Off Topic" thread on this. Thanks Steve! You are REALLY on top of this. That's very nice of you to be doing. Are you still thinking of doing a version? I sure hope so, but if life has taken over...I get that too.

Thanks Peter! It's funny you mention the heavy thing. I'm really hoping that doesn't turn too many forum members off. I totally understand where this wouldn't be a lot people's first choice in music Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.

Thanks Steve! You are REALLY on top of this. That's very nice of you to be doing. NP. This is a very exciting venture for me and the rest of the forum! Are you still thinking of doing a version? Yes. I have all my tracks sorted together now in Pro Tools. Just need to mix and ship it.

Nice take on it. I am not a power rock/pop kind of guy but I am schooled enough to know when it's a good performance. Good job on this.

This is kick @ss fantastic! A completely different version that I never saw coming. Everything about this is top shelf!
This is a keeper for sure.
PS - don't give us anymore BS about your lack of mixing and EQing skills. We now know better.
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.

Hello, HearToLearn
It's a really cool hard rock.
I see the appearance like David's posted photo.
I am very surprised at the heavily difference with my version (“The Paradox Of You” 6th version).
Heavy sound, typical hard rock killer arrangement!
Excellent performance!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
