12 - Brave new Summer

[Intro | bright guitar pluck + arpeggio, dawn] [Verse 1 | open vocal, building] I put down the little orange, I let the morning in, raw and bright and aching and I felt it on my skin Called up my grandfather, drove the old slow road, read a book on paper that nobody downloads [Pre-Chorus | claps + drums build] And the world kept selling faster but I finally let it go, and the strangest thing — I never felt so whole [Chorus | massive, gang 'whoa-oh', festival] It's a brave new summer (whoa-oh) the realest one I know (whoa-oh) slow hands, warm hearts, open eyes — brave new summer, here we go whoa-oh, brave new summer [Verse 2 | full, warm] So pour the real Aperol, watch the real sun fall, call the people that you love, the actual ones, that's all Print the photograph, hang it on the wall, let it fade and let it matter — let it matter after all [Pre-Chorus] And the world kept selling faster but I finally let it go, and the strangest thing — I never felt so whole [Chorus] It's a brave new summer (whoa-oh) the realest one I know (whoa-oh) slow hands, warm hearts, open eyes — brave new summer, here we go whoa-oh, brave new summer [Bridge | breakdown, then biggest lift of the album] Not faster, not higher, not further — just here, not numb, not perfect — alive and sincere They built a brave new world but they forgot one thing: a human's gonna human, a heart's gonna sing [Chorus | final lift, full crowd] It's a brave new summer (whoa-oh) the realest one I know take it slow, hold it close, look alive — brave new summer, we survived whoa-oh, brave new summer [Outro | crowd 'whoa-oh' singalong, callback to Track 1 'oh-oh', warm fade]
