Will Shakespeare

V6

[Intro: 0:00-0:12, dark piano, vinyl hiss, sub pulse] [Deep British male, rhythmic, not slow] Ladies and gentlemen... William James. The Shakespeare of Discord, back on the stage. One man, one keyboard, a thousand-word page. To review or not to review? [Beat cuts] WHO'S NEXT? [Verse 1: 0:12-0:38, bouncy UK hip-hop, tight 808] Will's in the chat and the curtains rise, Higgsfield films flashing before his eyes. Ask for a thought, he opens the page, Three hours later we're on chapter eight. He clocks every cut, every colour, each scene, Finds little details nobody's seen. The Last Ride rolling, his name on the screen, He's made one himself, knows what those shots mean. [Pre-Chorus: 0:38-0:52, female lead, sax answers] Ooooooooh, ooh-ooh, OOOOOOH! Can you hear the night come alive? Ooooooooh, ooh-ooh, OOOOOOH! One more film, one more ride. [Build 1: 0:52-1:04, samba surdo, tamborim, sax riser] [Male spoken, dry] I kept wondering where that notification sound was coming from. [Notification ping, sudden silence] [Female whisper] It's Will. [Male shout] YOU'RE NEXT! [Drop 1: 1:04-1:20, filthy dubstep, sax stabs] YOU'RE NEXT! YOU'RE NEXT! ONE MORE FILM, ONE MORE TEXT! YOU'RE NEXT! YOU'RE NEXT! WILLIAM JAMES, NO TIME TO REST! [4-bar instrumental: sax riff vs wobble bass] [Verse 2: 1:20-1:47, rapid British rap, samba breakbeat] Scroll, scroll, scroll, another reply, More paragraphs than stars in the sky. "Will, can you review mine?" Someone asks, He drops that GIF before they finish the task. The pacing, the sound, the emotional weight, You asked him at six, he's reviewing at eight. He tells you what works, and what needs a new take, A joke in the thread, but the feedback ain't fake. [Chorus: 1:47-2:10, soaring female hook, full sax] Ooooooooh, ooh-ooh, OOOOOOH! Take me on The Last Ride tonight. Ooooooooh, ooh-ooh, OOOOOOH! Let the frames ignite the sky. William James, don't fade away, One more story, one more day. Ooooooooh, ooh-ooh, OOOOOOH! Hear that saxophone cry! [Breakdown: 2:10-2:22, drums drop, solo piano] [Male, deadpan] He's typing. Still typing. Bloody hell, he's STILL typing. [Notification ping] [Female laughter] Not again! [Build 2: 2:22-2:36, double-time rap, surdo and snare rise] One more cut, one more take, One more critic wide awake! One more GIF, one more thread, Another hundred words unsaid! [Male chant] WILL! WILL! WILLIAM JAMES! [Female sustained high note] OOOOOOOOOOOOH! [Drop 2: 2:36-2:53, maximal subwoofer, sax-samba clash] YOU'RE NEXT! SHAKE THE FLOOR! HE'S GOT A HUNDRED PARAGRAPHS MORE! YOU'RE NEXT! HERE WE GO! SAX UP HIGH, BASS DOWN LOW! [4-bar instrumental sax versus reese bass] [Final Verse: 2:53-3:10, fast UK rap, brass hits] He writes like Shakespeare, delivers the lines, Then hits you with GIFs when your film's next in line. The Last Ride's rolling, the speakers ignite, The whole damn server's awake tonight. No final chapter, no final page, One last review before he leaves the stage. [Final Chorus: 3:10-3:22, soaring female, full drums] OOOOOOOOH, OOH-OOH, OOOOOOH! THE LAST RIDE COMES ALIVE! OOOOOOOOH, OOH-OOH, OOOOOOH! WILLIAM JAMES, ONE MORE NIGHT! [Outro: 3:22-3:30, hard cut, notification ping] [Deep British male, spoken] The review is complete. [Ping] Oh, for fuck's sake... [Theatrical shout] AUF WIEDERSEHEN! [Single massive bass hit, silence]
