Music Sounds Better With You

[Intro – 124 BPM, filter sweep rising, vinyl crackle, guitar loop enters] (instrumental build – 8 bars) [Verse 1 – filtered vocal, dry and close-mic'd, guitar loop driving] I feel it every time you're near Something in the atmosphere The way you move, the things you say I can't describe it any way [Pre-Chorus – filter opening, hi-hats intensifying] Turn it up, let it play I don't wanna feel this way Every time I hear that sound Something lifts me off the ground [Chorus – full arrangement, filter wide open, four-on-the-floor full force] Music sounds better with you Music sounds better with you Stay with me, don't let go Music sounds better with you [Verse 2 – groove locks in, bassline prominent] You've got me moving through the night Everything just feels so right The bass, the beat, the melody Are nothing if you're not with me [Pre-Chorus – filter building again] Turn it up, let it play I don't wanna feel this way Every time I hear that sound Something lifts me off the ground [Chorus – peak energy, call and response vocal] Music sounds better with you Music sounds better with you Stay with me, don't let go Music sounds better with you [Breakdown – stripped to kick and guitar loop, long reverb tail, filter slowly closing] (8–16 bars instrumental) (minimal – whispered) ...better with you... [Build – snare rolls, hi-hat triplets, filter sweep rising, bass re-enters] (8 bars) [Chorus – euphoric final drop, full frequency, maximum energy] Music sounds better with you Music sounds better with you Stay with me, don't let go Music sounds better with you [Outro – filter slowly closing again, elements dropping one by one, loop fades] (instrumental fade – 8 bars)
