V5.5

[Intro - Silence then the sound of a quill scratching on paper] (Sound of a soft, deep breath...) (Soft piano notes echoing like falling snow: Plink... plonk...) [Spoken Word - intimate and hushed, close to the mic] I often wonder how it stays so still. This small, feathered occupant of the soul. It doesn't ask for much. A little space between the heartbeats. A place to perch when the world grows cold. I think I shall write it down. Hope. [Verse 1 - delicate solo piano and warm deep cello] Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops — at all (Never stops...) And never stops — at all [Verse 2 - adding a weeping solo violin and soft harmonic depth] And sweetest — in the Gale — is heard And sore must be the storm That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm (Kept them warm...) That kept so many warm (Mmm-hmmm...) [Spoken Word - thoughtful and clear over a growing string pad] I've heard it. In the chillest land. On the strangest sea. When the frost bit the glass and the ink froze in my well, it was there. [Verse 3 - cinematic swell, rising piano arpeggios and strings] I've heard it in the chillest land And on the strangest Sea (The strangest sea...) Yet never, in Extremity It asked a crumb of me (Not a crumb...) It asked a crumb of me [Pre-Chorus - building intensity, violin climbing higher] It sings through the night! (The night!) It sings through the gray! (The gray!) A melody eternal That will not fade away! (Rising vocal: Aaaaaah!) [Chorus - grand cinematic explosion, soaring vocals, full orchestral strings] Hope is the thing with feathers! Still singing in the soul (In the soul!) It sings the tune without the words And never stops — at all (Backing vocals: Never stops! Never stops!) And never stops — at all (Soaring high note: AT AAAAAAA-AAAAA-ALL!) [Instrumental Solo - emotional violin and cello duet, majestic and sweeping] (Violin creates a fluttering wing effect: Trill-trill-scooop!) (Cello provides a deep powerful foundation: Vromm...) [Bridge - emotional resolution, epic and wide] If the sky should fall (Should fall) If the stars go dim The song remains The light within (Belting: THE LIGHT WITHIN!) [Final Chorus - majestic climax with full orchestral power and bells] Hope is the thing with feathers! Still singing in the soul It sings the tune without the words And never stops — at all (Harmonies: Never stops! Never stops!) It never stops — at all (Powerful resolution: NEVER STOPS!) [Outro - sudden drop to soft piano and single violin breath] (Gentle plucking: Plink... plink...) [Spoken Word - soft and fading over a solitary violin] It asks for nothing. It only gives. Yes. Hope is the thing with feathers. (Final breathy whisper: At all...) (The sound of a window closing softly: Click.)
