Thunder Cartel - Light it Up (Let it Roll)

V6

[Intro – 4 bars: Instantly catchy twin-guitar boogie riff, pounding piano, driving drums] [Verse 1 – Gritty male lead, tight guitar groove] Friday night on a downtown street, Six-string thunder and a stomping beat. Leave your worries at the door, One, two, three — we're back for more! [Verse 2 – Driving guitars, rolling piano fills] Old Joe's leaning on the barroom wall, Swore he'd never dance at all. Then the piano kicks into a groove, Joe jumps up and starts to move! [Pre-Chorus – Rising guitar accents, drum fill] Turn it up and let it go! Everybody, here we go! [Chorus – Huge melodic hook, harmonized male backing vocals] Light it up! Let it roll! Feel that backbeat take control! Clap your hands and shout for more, Stomp your feet and shake the floor! Light it up! Let it roll! Put some fire in your soul! Whoa-oh-oh, sing it loud, Hear it rising from the crowd! [Instrumental – Signature boogie guitar riff, rolling piano answers] [Verse 3 – Energetic rhythmic lead] Taxi's waiting underneath the light, Driver hears the band and stays all night. Slams the door and joins the crowd, "Turn that guitar up good and loud!" [Verse 4 – Building energy] Last call's coming, but we're going strong, One more chorus, everybody sing along! When the lights come on, we hit the street, Still dancing to that rocking beat! [Pre-Chorus – Rising guitar accents, drum fill] Turn it up and let it go! Everybody, here we go! [Chorus – Full band, strong male backing harmonies] Light it up! Let it roll! Feel that backbeat take control! Clap your hands and shout for more, Stomp your feet and shake the floor! Light it up! Let it roll! Put some fire in your soul! Whoa-oh-oh, sing it loud, Hear it rising from the crowd! [Instrumental Break – 8-bar melodic Southern boogie guitar solo, prominent rolling rock-and-roll piano] [Breakdown – Bass, drums, handclaps, gritty lead and group responses] Can you feel it? [Male group: FEEL IT!] Can you hear it? [Male group: HEAR IT!] One more time now! [Full band: LET IT ROLL!] [Final Chorus – Explosive full band, strong male harmonies, catchy guitar counter-melody] Light it up! Let it roll! Feel that backbeat take control! Clap your hands and shout for more, Stomp your feet and shake the floor! Light it up! Let it roll! Put some fire in your soul! Whoa-oh-oh, sing it loud, Hear it rising from the crowd! [Outro – Repeat signature twin-guitar boogie riff, energetic piano fills, tight final band hit]
