Week 14a - There’s Only One Of You (210401) by JamesTristanRedding published on 2021-04-01T22:50:04Z "There's Only One Of You" (#450, 210401) * co-written with Jeffrey Joslin & Steven Cade * I think of Thomas Edison when I turn out the lights Compare my life to his even though I know that that ain't right Ask myself what good I've done as I board a crosstown bus Thinkin' 'bout miss Rosa Parks and all she did for us Do you ever wonder at the end of the day Why will they remember my name? There's a song that only you can sing And a dream that only you can dream There's a story only you can write With words you carry deep inside There's seven billion people that's true But there's only one of you Aretha she's the queen yeah and Elvis was the king But once upon a time someone taught 'em both to sing And years before Neil Armstrong took his steps on the moon He crawled before he walked across his parents' living room You might not see yourself up there But you gotta' start somewhere When it's tough and you feel like giving up And you're scared you'll never be enough When everything beneath the sun Already seems like it's been done If you're looking everywhere for something new Well there's only one of you And what about the man who came from Galilee Who made the lame to walk and he caused the blind to see Marked his words in yellow two lines from John 14 Even you are gonna do greater things than me There's a song that only you can sing And a dream that only you can dream There's a story only you can write With words you carry deep inside This world is full of souls But it's you that makes it whole When it's tough and you feel like giving up And you're scared you'll never be enough When everything beneath the sun Already seems like it's been done If you're looking everywhere for something new Well there's only one of you Genre Country Comment by Charlatan, PE Awesome job! This is a banger. Love the guitar, love the theme, love the energy and emotion in your delivery. 2021-04-20T23:38:18Z Comment by Tamora Wilson This is sweet and fun, caring. Both choruses are cool, I like the second one best, that made me sing along with the rest of the song. Actually I could sing along with this again, great melody. And the key change is perfect. 2021-04-19T22:45:45Z Comment by Claes Great uplifting lyrics! Especially liked how the two different choruses came together back to back at the end. Nice variation on the typical song structure. Really good song all around. 2021-04-15T15:13:41Z Comment by niki s great sentiment in this one-brilliant -bravo 2021-04-15T12:57:53Z Comment by Bernard Dady Really like the image of Neil Armstrong starting his journey crawling across his parents' living room. That was me aged sixty when I had my first keyboard lessons. Maybe I'll get to the moon. The chorus is really uplifting. 2021-04-14T15:02:29Z Comment by Erin Wolf Key change! Really enjoying this one, James - solid co-write to the triad! 2021-04-12T04:45:46Z Comment by Music Box You have a real knack for stringing together a ton of great references that hold up well thematically. 2021-04-11T13:37:36Z
