Alright guys and gals, this new song has a cool history! Check out how @EdPrivat helped me transform this song into a grateful nod to the awesome musicians I have had the honor to write songs with in my past!
So, a month ago I came up with this groovin music and a vocal melody but no lyrics. I originally was going to enter into the SMA challenge for "Greatest Hits", but all I had was a chorus... Eternal Summertime...
Then Ed Privat hosted the lyric challenge with the theme "Gratitude". The challenge helped push me to finish writing the lyrics. I entered and friends...I won that challenge! So cool! I'm humbled because @daily-musings and @lilixblack also wrote great lyrics! check them out here steemit.com/music/@edprivat/music-lyrics-writing-competition-the-winners-announced-a-dsound-community-initiative
The prize is that Ed Privat would compose and record a song with my lyrics!! So I held back releasing my version until I heard his. Well, It's released and freaking awesome. He does some Timberlake smooth stuff with vocals that perfectly compliment the funky music he wrote.

So there it is, two different songs interpreted from the same lyrics.
I was such a fool back then
didn't know what I had
I thought that summer would never end
the music was so powerful
felt the earth move under our feet
we knew how to make them move
If we knew it was our last scene
would it have changed anything
I'm grateful for what we shared - I'm grateful for you
I love where our light comes from
we shine so bright
we make eternal summertime
I'm still a fool but I've learned
to cherish those connections that
made waves that never crash
it carries on, endlessly
the music that lives inside of me
is opened up with your key
if we knew this was our last scene
would we write one more song?
I'm grateful for what we shared - I'm grateful for you
I love where our light comes from
we shine so bright
we make eternal summertime
