The Paradox Of You #4

Here is my take on Joanne Cooper's fine lyrics. It took quite much time to get decent vocal track, because my voice was breaking and even Melodyne couldn't fix all issues. The mix has also some small problems, I have started to use Sonar because of the Melodyne integration, so new tool and new things to adjust smile

I think this is the 4th song with the lyrics so I have added number 4 after the title so that this one doesn't get mixed up with the other ones smile

I hope you like it despite the problems. All comments welcome. And if there is a soft soulful male voice willing to replace my vocals, I'm more than happy to hear that one, too laugh

Instruments provided by BIAB once again. I love the new fretless bass RTs smile

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
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

Janne,

I enjoyed listening.

The backing feels really nice and comfortable and your arrangement is great. As I said on Soundcloud, I found this perfect for just closing my eyes and letting the music carry me along on its current of sound. Definitely one to be proud of.

All the best,
Noel

P.S. Apologies for missing some of your songs. Unfortunately I was out of action for a bit due to circumstances beyond my control.

Excellent chord progression, melody and all round composition. Some really nice changes in there.
Haven't played around with the new fretless bass yet - I'll have a listen.

Thanks RichMac for your nice words smile Glad to hear that my voice wasn't so bad I thought smile I felt that the lyrics needed an upward going melody, so the majority of the notes are either same or above the previous note, except for the bridge part.

Thanks Mario for your very kind words, I'm glad you liked this version smile

That's a very nice idea, in my native language, yes, I have already started to translate it, hopefully a translated version would be ok for Joanne also laugh Doesn't seem to be an easy task, though. Words have more syllables in Finnish, so certain parts like "Light from dark dry from wet" are challenging... but I'll try my best smile
