Something So Right - Paul Simon

Youve got the cool water
When the fever runs high
Youve got the look of lovelight in your eyes
And I was in crazy motion
til you calmed me down
It took a little time
But you calmed me down

When something goes wrong
Im the first to admit it
Im the first to admit it
And the last one to know

When something goes right
Well its likely to lose me, mm
Its apt to confuse me
Its such an unusual sight
Oh, I cant, I cant get used to something so right
Something so right

Theyve got a wall in china
Its a thousand miles long
To keep out the foreigners they made it strong
And Ive got a wall around me
That you cant even see
It took a little time
To get next to me

When something goes wrong
Im the first to admit it
Im the first to admit it
And the last one to know
When something goes right
Well its likely to lose me, mm
Its apt to confuse me
Because its such an unusual sight
Oh, I cant, I cant get used to something so right
Something so right

Some people never say the words I love you
Its not their style
To be so bold
Some people never say the words I love you
But like a child theyre longing to be told, mm

When something goes wrong
Im the first to admit it
Im the first to admit it
And the last one to know
When something goes right
Well its likely to lose me, mm
Its apt to confuse me
Because its such an unusual sight
I swear, I cant, I cant get used to something so right
Something so right

I hope you don´t mind that I made a ringtone from your version of this beautiful song. To carry it with me and hear it every time, my ex-lover calls me

[Halfadrop]

@TheEpsilontik Whoa, really? Cool!

[iciavosser]

Okay. You've got a lot of talent. A nice voice and good guitar skills. But it looks like your ego got in the way. Don't play this song like it's a showcase for your skills. It's a song about humility, for Pete's sake, of which you show none during this rendition. Nice job, tho. Better than I can do!!

[Halfadrop]

I usually don't reply to the disparaging comments because opinions are just that.

But you are way, way off track here. What ever you see here, I guarantee it's not ego. I pull faces when I sing, I jump around - maybe that tells you something about how good or bad a singer/performer I am. Hardly about my humility.

that's like asking him to lack some passion and not be so real. I love his mic and his vibes. He rocks my world. if im ever in the uk, i AM going to cook him dinner ;-)

I think Paul Simon would appreciate this cover. Nicely done

[aliyamea]

best!

[aliyamea]

Best rendition I've ever heard. More soul.

GREAT JOB my friend, you knocked it out of the park from where i stand!

[idreamofstairs]

beautiful job

@Halfadrop It's funny, icavosser's comment almost poisoned me on the performance. But, your reply made me listen to the whole thing. It seems to me like you're just having fun with it and making it your own, which is a totally valid musical approach. Thanks for posting. For a guitar player/singer (even without the weird qualification) you do very nicely at both.

Bravo!
