Medium -- (Cover, Reina del Cid)

I've wanted to cover something by Reina del Cid for a while now, and when this song came out, I loved it's face off from the get go. Thus, a cover was born!

If you haven't already, do yourself a favor and check out the original video, stat! It's fan-bluegrass-tastic and a great way to meet Reina, Chris, and Toni!

Chords to this version: Capo on 6

Verses: C-Am-C-G C-Am-F-G-C

Chorus: Am-C-(Am-F)-G Am-C-F-G-C

Bridge: A7-D-A7-D Bm-Em-D-(A7-Dsus2)

On the last chorus, instead of going into a C at the end, I return to Am and then finish with a final refrain using the regular chords.

Medium (this version)

I caught Winter talking to Spring today.
He begged her to remember his face,
And how the sun couldn't touch him
Where the ice used to lay,
And with her warm eyes, Spring looked away.

Now miles away from the buildings and lights,
I lie by his side in the dark
While the wheat and the rye
Tell us how we used to be
Before the trees put their leaves in my heart.

Chorus:
Now, "this isn't me", I say to the street
To the people I never loved,
And this isn't mine--this beautiful line
Crashing through my medium.

I used to stare at an orchard at dawn
Wondering what my eyes should see,
But the earth promised seasons
And brought them in time
To the boy who I used to be.

Chorus

It's hard sometimes to see the difference
(I can feel the seasons pass)
Between what's lost and what I've changed
(And although I lose my grip)
The colors are brighter now,
And the moonlight's softer on my range.

Chorus

Remember: always make sure your Medium is insured.

@bluetwin86 Does responding to all my comments make me look like a desperate YouTuber?

[Greenman1006]

than you for sharing that.

[ChaseTheVaughan]

@Greenman1006 Thank you for watching it!

[ReinaDelCid]

Chase - this is just awesome! Really love what you did with the harmonies. Thank you so much for sharing. :)

[lushy1010]

So amazing !!! Although I didnt think it possible, this is better than the original, sorry Reina!

[themostis]

Good God Man! You've re-con-created this song - I want to put it on my iPod!

[ChaseTheVaughan]

@MusicByMartin Thanks, Man! That means a lot, especially since, by now, I can only hear the things I would change. Haha.

[ChaseTheVaughan]

@ReinaDelCid Best compliment I could get! You keep writing great songs, and I'll keep loving 'em. :)

[ChaseTheVaughan]

@Mr3Chords Thanks! All the chords are there if you want to pick up a version of your own.

[ChaseTheVaughan]

@Xanderpan2000 The blue one's the best, am I right? :) That top shelf is all signed books, and that one in particular got signed by John, Hank, AND Katherine. That's three for one in my book!

[Mr3Chords]

nice one

[rd2ed]

I'm impressed….very nicely performed! Your voice sounded to me like a hint of a neat Scottish brogue ;).
