V6

[P1 Opening State | 12 bars | Bm9 pedal] [Sub and pedal steel only. No kick. Distant guitar delay.] Cold came in... [P2 First Movement | 8 bars | i-VI-III-VII] [Half-time kick enters under the sub. Male sing-rap, close and dry.] [Bm9] First cold morning and the air's got a smell [Gmaj7] Something turning over, I could never tell [D] Nobody out here needs a thing from me [A] So I just stand in it [P3 First Commitment | 16 bars | D major lift] [Auto-Tuned hook. Rhodes opens. Steel widens.] [D] Something out here is bigger than me [A/C#] And it's not against me [Bm7] Couldn't hold it if I tried [Gmaj9] I just know it's there (bigger than me...) [P4 Pressure | 20 bars | Bm pedal] [Instrumental. Chopped bass takes the groove. Guitar answers the steel.] Stand in it... [P5 Centre | 12 bars | exact centre | no kick] [Everything drops but the sub. Dry male voice, female ghost close behind.] Small out here... Nothing's coming for me... (not against me...) [P6 The Turn | 20 bars | new groove | i-VI-III-VII] [Kick returns with a different placement. Gated stabs, tighter shuffle.] [Bm9] Leaves let go when the season turns [Gmaj7] Cold rolls in, morning still returns [D] I stand here breathing, watching it move [A] Nothing out here asking me to prove [P7 Consequence | 16 bars | Bm to D] [Bass carries alone. Ghost vocals drift across the field.] Not a tragedy... (bigger than me...) [P8 Full Release | 8 bars | D major] [Widest point. Steel at full swell. Short on purpose.] [D] Something out here is bigger than me [A/C#] And it's not against me [Bm7] Couldn't hold it if I tried [Gmaj9] Don't need to (bigger than me...) [P9 What Remains | 12 bars | Bm9 thins] [Kick leaves. Sub, steel and one delay tail.] Cold came in... (not against me...)
