Back when it was written, I posted web log post <i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mjyoung.net\/weblog\/index.php\/181-anatomy-of-a-songwriting-collaboration\/\">#181:&nbsp; Anatomy of a Songwriting Collaboration<\/a><\/i>, in which I described how beginning with the memory of something Jack Haberer posted in our high school yearbook I engaged my youngest son Adam in constructing this song.&nbsp; Here I offer <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mjyoung.net\/Promo\/33 Even You.mp3\">this recording<\/a>, done in my living room with an acoustic guitar in competition with an air cleaner, not long after a hospitalization so I would have a recorded copy.&nbsp; There is an earlier recording on another web site somewhere, linked from the previous article, in which Adam is playing the piano.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mjyoung.net\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img0438Adam.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mjyoung.net\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img0438Adam-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-5503\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mjyoung.net\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img0438Adam-300x223.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.mjyoung.net\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img0438Adam.jpg 321w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tristan did not mention the song on his list; I suspect he had never heard it, as it was fairly new and he was not at our house much.&nbsp; I placed the song itself at twenty-ninth, and the recording, flawed as it is, at thirty-second, which tied it with the previous song, <i>Trust Him Again<\/i>, at thirty-second overall.&nbsp; The progressions were mostly somewhat common, and although I liked the lyrics I admit that there are spots where I&#8217;m not at all sure what Adam meant.&nbsp; But it is a good song, and I&#8217;ve performed it at least once or twice live despite the fact that I rarely get to perform live anymore.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><font size=+3><b><i>Even You<\/i><\/b><\/font>.<\/p>\n<p>So here are the lyrics.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If deep in your heart you remember when,<br \/>\nDid you want to be born again again?<br \/>\nThe good news is the news is true:<br \/>\nJesus comes to make all things new,<br \/>\nEven you, even you, even you, even you.<\/p>\n<p>There in your mind when you feel abused,<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t you get tired of being used and used?<br \/>\nDarkness falls, then the light breaks through.<br \/>\nJesus comes to make all things new,<br \/>\nEven you, even you, even you, even you.<\/p>\n<p>You want what you want.<br \/>\nYou get the joy, he took the pain.<br \/>\nYou get what you get:<br \/>\nRedemption sustains, sin is a stain.<\/p>\n<p>Ask yourself why you want to sin,<br \/>\nWhy you lose;
