This is a leftover from the Xtra Styles contest. I never posted it for that, but Eastside Eddie asked me why I never put this on the forum so I'm doing it now.

What I did was to take the basic chord progression from Bach Prelude I in C (Well-Tempered Clavier) and use it for a song. So there is a chorus I and chorus II, not a typical song structure. (This is close to the progression Gounod used for his version of Ave Maria.)

Hope you like it.

Listen to the Rain

By David Snyder

V1

Everything I see around us
Is a wide and wonderful world
There’s a universe of imagination
Inside of us girl
A little bit above the earth
And this kingdom on the ground
There’s a hidden door to happiness
That few have ever found
So stay in bed with me
And sail away
Hold my hand
‘Cause it’s time to pray
Turn off the lights
And close the blinds
It’s time to chase the rainbows
In the corners of our minds

CH

And just love one another
While we listen to the rain
Just love one another
While we listen to the rain
Since the dawning of the universe
The best things never change
So let’s just love one another
and listen to the rain

V2

Everything I see around us
Is what was meant to be
For love is all there really is
And it’s all we ever need
A little bit behind the sky
Above this kingdom on the ground
You can see that we are only made
Of the righteousness of sound
So close your eyes
And hold my hand
In just a moment
You will see
That from the beginning
We were always free

CH 2 (Ending)

So close your eyes my love
And listen to the rain
Let’s just love one another
and listen to the rain
Let’s just hold one another
Love one another
And listen to the rain
