Still buffing this one up but thought I'd get some early feedback if you would be so kind.  ;D

IL0v3U

My heart is wary and weary and worn
It rarely appears on my sleeve anymore
'Cause I found a way I can shield it from harm
It's password protected and it works like a charm

It's not easy to guess it though many have tried
They all get this message "ACCESS DENIED!"
But I want you to enter so I'll give you a clue
The password is "IL0v3U"

IL0v3U
The password is "IL0v3U"

From the moment I met you I soon realized
That you hold the key to the rest of my life
But if you feel the same I won't know that it's true
Until you say "IL0v3U"

IL0v3U
This password will see you through
IL0v3U
The password is "IL0v3U"

Now, a password is stronger with letters and numbers
But if I made it longer, you might get it wrong girl
Don't get it wrong girl!

So before you have entered my heart will be blue..
The password is "IL0v3U"

You come up with such creative ideas! This is awesome! I have no nits. You're always so clever with your words.

Well, okay, one possible nit. I might leave out the word "that" in the line "But if you feel the same I won't know that it's true". And maybe in the line "That you hold the key to the rest of my life". I might. Maybe. And maybe not. So there you are...basically no nits.

:D

Ha!

Super clever lyrics Paul. It's a happy little number,massively contagious and smile inducing.

A genuine pleasure,however you decide to 'further' the piece,it's a good 'un.

@Paulski - Really like this Paul,beautifully produced, very accurately played and generally a wonder piece of music.

Clever lyric, as Vicky would say no nits, I especially liked the way you were not tempted to add too many instruments/Vocal, that little cluster of vocals at the end was just lovely.

In my book that's July's SOTM.

This is quite delightful love song, Paul :) Made me feel all fuzzy and happy, because it's so sweet. Not enough sweetness in the world these days  :-*
the lyrics are very clever with the password thing being such a huge part of most peoples everyday lives ;) Lovely vocals as always and I like the
simple 1+1 production :) beautifully written  :)

Hi,
It's a very beautiful ballad, the lyrics are beautiful with a lot of freshness. The minimalist acoustic guitar accompaniment works very well.  I also like the voice, it's a beautiful interpretation and a beautiful timbre.
Nice song, actually!

@CaliaMoko - thanks Vicky. Yeah I use "that" too much as a filler. I'll look at "that"  ;D

@shadowfax - cheers Kev though I don't deserve such praise  ;D

@Skub - appreciate that Davey. Smile away  ;D

@cowparsleyman - cheers for the generous comments - not putting too much in is more laziness than good taste, but I'm glad it still worked for you  ;D

@crystalsuzy - cheers Suzy - means a lot coming from a Canuck (now I'm going to be accused of playing favourites  ;D)

@Inanité_sonore - thank you kind sonore!

I'm glad no-one mentioned the weird chord choice at the start of the bridge - never played a G# major in the key of D before. Makes me think I may have gotten away with it  ;D

This is, as much as it is really clever, a really beautiful ballad. I enjoyed every second of this one @Paulski :) And you have a really good voice, that fits the song very well!

I agree with YoungerHills - Your voice is perfect for the songs you write Paul, a breath of fresh Maple Syrup.

This one is so charming @Paulski, with those very smart and touching lyrics being its highlight.

Totally entertaining, delivered in your own inimtable style. Bravo!  :)

Hey @Paulski,

This song just makes me want to drink some hot chocolate while I sit around the fire.

"Now, a password is stronger with letters and numbers
But if I made it longer, you might get it wrong girl"


I think this line is just right in the sweet spot of cheesy/corny (in a good way  ;)) and poetic. Hope to see more of your work!

Hi Paul,

Clever lyrics very well delivered.
I kept thinking C3-PO when you were singing the chorus. Damn Star Wars for stealing my soul at such a tender age.  :)
Acoustic playing is really good - guitar sounds sweet.

@digger72 - thanks digger. Yeah 3CPO does come to mind albeit not a very romantic little bugger  :D cheers for the guitar comment - I'm still learning that  ;D
