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.

The 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

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!

A nice mellow Elvis there.
Groovy.

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?"

I smashed the hell out of my car today. When the cops came I told him "Officer, that guy was BOTH texting and drinking a beer." The cop said "Sir, he has every right to do that. I mean, it's HIS living room..."

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.

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!
