Love The Life You Live

Laid-back alternative reggae groove with a slightly off-kilter skank guitar and warm subby bass, Male vocals in a relaxed, conversational tone; backing group shouts on key phrases, Frog croaks and distant rain SFX tucked into the intro and drops, Chorus blossoms with airy organs and dubby echo throws on the last word of each line, bridge strips down to bass, rimshots, and vocal ad-libs before the final hook, reggae

[Intro] [faint rain Soft frog croaks] Wind in the palm leaves Water on old tin roofs Little frog in the gutter Singing his small truth (hey) [Verse 1] Bare feet on the back step Cold mud between my toes Clouds talking in gray tongues Storm writes across my clothes You laugh in the kitchen Steam on the window glass We dance in the doorway Let the thunder pass [Chorus] Love the life you live Live the life you love (oh yeah) Let the rain fall hard We just rise above Every breath a gift Never just enough Love the life you live Live the life you love [Verse 2] Frog keeps his rough rhythm Croak like a backyard drum Fence leans like an old friend Knows where we came from Your hair stuck on your forehead Dripping from that quick run You say “This is our weather” I say “This is the one” [Chorus] Love the life you live Live the life you love (live it up) Let the rain fall hard We just rise above Every breath a gift Never just enough Love the life you live Live the life you love [Bridge] Raindrops on the porch rail Heartbeat in my chest (so calm) If this is all we ever have I still call it blessed [Chorus] Love the life you live Live the life you love Let the wind blow wild We just lean and hug Every breath a gift More than good enough Love the life you live Live the life you love (oh yeah)
