barbershop quartet, liquid drum and bass, soul

+ Show full styles

[Verse 1]
Seventeen years of a brilliant spark
Lighting up the room and chasing the dark
They call me Jacob, or Jake if you please
But "Buddy" is the name that floats on the breeze
Got a lot of personality, a mind of my own
Standing in the spotlight, completely in the zone
Sixteen was great, but the clock won't wait
Time to open up the gate!

[Chorus]
[Explosive 4-part harmony over fast liquid drum and bass beat]
Oh, celebrate the boy with the golden name!
Seventeen years, and he’s winning the game!
Jacob Earl Reid, let the rhythm ignite
We're singing out loud under starry light!
He's our Buddy, our brother, our shining star
We love exactly who you are!

[Verse 2]
Autistic and proud, I see the world bright
In my own unique way, everything’s right
Got that deep connection, got that special vibe
Rolling right along with my favorite tribe
From the smooth barbershop to the double-time beat
Got the whole neighborhood moving their feet
Hear the tenor fly high, hear the bass go low
Watch the birthday magic grow!

[Chorus]
[Full harmony, high energy drum and bass]
Oh, celebrate the boy with the golden name!
Seventeen years, and he’s winning the game!
Jacob Earl Reid, let the rhythm ignite
We're singing out loud under starry light!
He's our Buddy, our brother, our shining star
We love exactly who you are!

[Bridge]
[Drum beat drops out, half-time jazz lounge feel]
[Lead vocal melody with smooth backing "oooohs" and "aaaahs"]
Sixteen years of the journey we’ve known
Look how much our Buddy has grown
With a heart so big and a style so grand
The coolest sixteen-year-old in the land...
[Snare build-up starts rolling fast]
But today we turn the page...
Yeah, today you take the stage!
[Beat drops hard]
Go!

[Verse 3]
Now the countdown is done, the party is live
Seventeen wishes, see them arrive
Jacob Earl Reid, remember the day
When the music took over and showed us the way
With the bass and the treble perfectly aligned
A better friend you will never find!

[Outro]
[DnB beat fades out, returning to pure 4-part barbershop harmony]
So here's to you, Jake...
The best cake we can bake...
Happy seventeenth, Buddy...
[Grand, sustained final chord]
Earl... Reid!
[Classic barbershop tag swipe]
Yeah!
