[93 BPM, C# minor throughout, lazy swing, extremely syncopated] [Hyper-feminine intimate vocal, slightly behind the beat] [Mostly voice, enormous sub bass and virtuosic loose drums] [Swung 16th-note shakers throughout, broken lazy beat, deep human pocket, no beatboxing] [Verse 1] [Very sparse, close-mic, huge negative space] [Shakers establish lazy swung 16ths; kick and snare barely answer] Why don't you calm down Come here [Playful rhythmic displacement] Get closer, get closer to me [Verse 2] [Drums begin wiggling around the vocal, loose and soothing] [Broken kick/snare pattern, ghost notes, displaced accents, swung shakers] Why don't you calm down Come here [Increasingly intimate, selective whisper doubles] Get closer, get closer to me [Chorus] [Open slightly, but stay sparse] [Drums become virtuosic and deeply syncopated, never busy] [Shakers swaddle the groove; broken beat moves around heavy bass pulses] 'Cause you don't need to worry And you don't need to run You don't need to hurry To have us some fun And we don't need to worship The time as it flies [Drums loosen further, vocal floating behind the pocket] You just need to feel in To the infinite skies [Verse 3] [Strip back hard: sub bass, swung shaker, voice] [Large silences between broken drum accents] Why don't you calm down Come here Get closer, get closer to me [Verse 4] [Lazy beat returns with new syncopations] [Soft anticipations, ghost notes, swung 16ths, human microtiming] Why don't you calm down Come here Get closer, get closer to me [Verse 5] [Deepest pocket; drums wiggle and sway around the vocal] [Heavy three-pulse bass figure; virtuosic shaker movement] Why don't you calm down Come here [Whisper doubles surround lead] Get closer, get closer to me [Verse 6] [Everything relaxes without losing the swing] [Drums become softer and more spacious; shaker keeps swaddling] Why don't you calm down Come here [Extremely close-mic, nearly whispered] Get closer, get closer to me [Outro] [Voice, three-pulse sub bass and lazy swung shaker] [Broken beat gradually leaves more empty space] [No big finish; let the final breath hang]
