Paradox of love lyrics
Verse I
.You were always free to make your move.
Yeah, I never could imprison you:
Even if I wanted to.
Watched you take off on the wing:
A beauty rare that made me sing.
I hadn't even opened my mouth
When praise and curses freely flowed out.
Chorus
.Paradox of love—I'm still in awe
No matter how long it's been:
You're on my mind, it still feels raw.
I spend my days in contemplation
Of sin and dynamics of law.
Verse II
.You were always judge and juror too.
You write your own emphatic rules,
& I'm obliged to play along with you.
I saw you run the forest path,
When the lightning struck, I only laughed.
Through the fiery ash and aftermath
I still sat stolid, working on my craft.
Chorus
.Paradox of love—I'm still in awe
No matter how long it's been:
You're on my mind, it still feels raw.
I spend my days in contemplation
Of sin and dynamics of law.
Notes
I didn't even intend on making this song today, but I was altering and chopping up a beatbox recording when this melody hit me. I recorded the vocals alone with the beatbox. Then I cut some kick to match the pattern on the beatbox, and some snare to beef up the sound. Also put some bass and some wah rhodes on the track. I decided to make a solo section for synth, and added some horn samples (ugh, nothing like real horns: hope they're not too cheesy!) The tuning was weird because I just matched whatever I already sang in with the beatbox. (ended up being A = 434 hz.) Definitely a demo because it's got some janky moments, but I still think it's worthy enough to share with you all and get your feedback! If you like the photos in this post, all credit goes to Carlos R., be sure to check out his Deviant Art page at this link.I feel like I'm getting my music skills back with this daily practice. Thanks for listening to my music! Have an amazing day! I love each and every person that is reading this post (and the ones that aren't, too.)
