The Paradox Of You

Another version of Joanne Cooper's lovely lyrics set to music. I wanted to experiment a little with loops and styles on this. I'm not sure what style it is exactly but I'm leaning towards calling it Neo-Folk/Newgrass. Let me know if you have any other suggestions for labeling it. I really liked this Real Style when I came across it. Then I just went kind of crazy adding other parts. Let me know what you think.

Lyrics: (by Joanne Cooper)

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
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
