[Fast, passionate disco-salsa fusion at 128 BPM, stripped to one bright conga pattern and a lead vocal, Driving clave, tight bongos, slap bass muted out, but the groove implied through crisp hand percussion, syncopated piano montuno, and brass-like vocal phrasing, Tight room reverb, punchy low end, and ecstatic call-and-response energy] [singer A] [verse 1] I'm in a world where dancing is the way. Play the music and make your way. The dance floor is the center of life. Energy transfers and everyone feels alive. Outside is the darkness, Lights are at the core. We move side to side, front and back. I watch you and you watch me. [chorus] Hold me close on the open floor, Spin me ‘round till we can’t no more. Every heartbeat’s keeping time with you, Every step is saying “I love you.” In this music we’ll always stay, Two souls moving the same way. As long as I’m dancing next to you, Every song feels brand new. [verse 2] We do our solos, and you get up and down. Then I follow, I follow you all around. You turn and smile back at me. You are warm and I love you. Move to the side, and side to side, Up and down, shake it all around, We can do what we please. We can be who we choose. [transition] [Driving techno at 132 BPM with a pounding 4/4 kick, tight offbeat hi-hats, metallic claps, and a rolling acid bassline through resonant filter sweeps, Add filtered rave stabs, pulsing synth arps, roomy reverb, and a breakdown where the words themselves become percussive vocal chops, stuttered and sidechained] [singer B] [verse 3] I missed those nights when we went out. The crowds got younger, and life got busier. We didn't think about dancing, Like we did on our wedding night. But occasionally, at weddings and on New Year's Eve. That's when we got to dance. Once or twice a year. The music never changed, only got more songs. And when the music plays, we light up. [bridge] Please, never leave me, always be with me. You are my dance partner. And I need thee. I can't survive without your lips, Without my hands on your hips. With your feet on the floor, Floating away through the door. Side to side, you can set me free. With you I want to be. Baby, my heart is looking for you. I need you with my soul If I can't dance with you then who? Without our dance, I lose control. [chorus] Hold me close on the open floor, Spin me ‘round till we can’t no more. Every heartbeat’s keeping time with you, Every step is saying “I love you.” In this music we’ll always stay, Two souls moving the same way. As long as I’m dancing next to you, Every song feels brand new.
