[Intro] (Warm, improvisational acoustic guitar picking, laid-back tempo) (Bouncy syncopated bassline walks in, followed by a light Hammond B3 swell) (Dual drummers lock into a loose, rolling cosmic Americana groove) [Vocals: Soft, reflective male lead, intimate and close] [Verse 1] [Instrumentation: Steady, laid-back 70s jam band groove, bluesy electric guitar licks between vocal lines] [Vocals: Conversational lead vocal with light harmonies on the tail ends] We met one October night... Not knowing at the time, That soon our four-hour phone calls Would turn into sharing a life. We bought matching necklaces... An 'L' and then an 'A'. We walked above Hollywood... 'Til the daylight slipped away. [Pre-Chorus 1] [Instrumentation: Hammond B3 builds, drums pick up a tribal, syncopated bounce] [Vocals: Lead vocal rises in energy] I knew without thinking... [Lush four-part harmony enters:] It’s as easy as breathing... [Chorus] [Instrumentation: Wide-open Laurel Canyon folk rock, bright acoustic strumming, deep walking bass] [Vocals: Massive, golden four-part vocal harmonies, rich and warm] Every time I look at life You’re what I’m grateful for! Every time I think I’ve felt it all I love you more. I never knew a love Could make me feel this whole. You’re more than just my heart, You’re part of my soul... (Part of my soul...) [Verse 2] [Instrumentation: Trippy, bluesy lead guitar takes a short melodic fill, bouncy rhythm section continues] [Vocals: Lead vocal returns, relaxed and storytelling] Three hundred and fifteen miles... Turned to waking up with you. Now all our days are magic, Nights are city lights and mountain views. You’ve seen every side of me... And love me as I am. There’s nothing better than... Falling in love with your best friend. [Pre-Chorus 2] [Instrumentation: Hammond B3 swirls, bassline climbs up the neck] [Vocals: Lead vocal rising] I know what I’m feeling... [Lush four-part harmony enters:] It’s as easy as breathing... [Chorus] [Instrumentation: Full cosmic Americana bloom, cymbals crashing, blues guitar weaving in and out] [Vocals: Huge four-part vocal harmonies] Every time I look at life You’re what I’m grateful for! Every time I think I’ve felt it all I love you more. I never knew a love Could make me feel this whole. You’re more than just my heart, You’re part of my soul... (Part of my soul...) [Instrumental Jam Break] [Instrumentation: 1970s psychedelic jam band freak-out] [Improvisational bluesy electric guitar solo intertwining with the Hammond B3] [Dual drummers syncopating wildly, bouncy bass driving the groove] [Warm analog tape saturation] [Bridge] [Instrumentation: Music drops down to just the bouncy bassline, soft organ, and light snare taps] [Vocals: Lone lead vocal, floating and atmospheric] I was searching way too long... ‘Til I finally got it right. Now I see the future... That I’ve dreamed of all my life... [Chorus] [Instrumentation: Maximum warmth, full band drops back in, rich acoustic and electric guitars blending] [Vocals: Soaring, angelic four-part vocal harmonies] Every time I look at life You’re what I’m grateful for! Every time I think I’ve felt it all I love you more. I never knew a love Could make me feel this whole. You’re more than just my heart, You’re part of my soul... [All voices uniting in a final swell:] You’re part of my soul... [Outro] [Instrumentation: Laid-back jam band groove fading slowly, blues guitar playing a final sweet lick] [Vocals: A cappella four-part harmony echoing into the analog mix] Part of my soul... [Hammond organ and acoustic guitar fade out together] [End]
