[Intro - 48–52 BPM; isolated clean electric-guitar chords with long silence between them, faint room noise, no drums] [Verse 1 - low male vocal, close and dry; almost spoken, little vibrato; guitar only at first] Blurred vision A broken road A hand in the air With nowhere to go Tears that never Quite run dry Beyond them Something still lies [Pre-Chorus - deep bass enters quietly; suspended harmony, no lift in vocal intensity] Pride and hope Stretching out Far beyond What we can see [Chorus - muted kick and dry snare enter slowly; second guitar widens the space, but no climax or belting] We keep moving on We keep moving on Under all this weight Even when our knees give way We keep moving on We keep moving on Moving on Moving on Forward Still [Interlude - very sparse guitar resonance; bass sustains underneath, drums nearly disappear] [Verse 2 - return to near-motionless arrangement; vocal tired and restrained, leave long pauses between phrases] Blurred vision A broken road A hand in the air With nowhere to go Tears that never Quite run dry Beyond them Something still lies [Pre-Chorus - slightly fuller low end, still flat and controlled] Pride and hope Stretching out Far beyond What we can see [Final Chorus - increase weight, not volume; firmer bass and floor tom, vocal remains low and unsentimental] We keep moving on We keep moving on With the weight still pressing down With our knees against the ground We keep moving on We keep moving on Moving on Moving on [Ending - instruments thin out one by one; final words nearly spoken, leave silence after each line] Forward Still
