Choose the Right (Blues Version)

Intro (Electro Swing Lift-Off - Jazzy Loop Groove) (upright bass, drums, synth brass, clarinet, trumpets) Lead (spoken over groove, smiling): Mmm … sometimes the choice ain’t easy — But baby, when you got the light on your side … you just choose the right! (horns hit riff; guitar comp begins syncopated chords) Verse 1 (Swing Groove - Snappy and Playful) Choose the right when a choice is placed before you, In the right the Spirit guides! And that light is forever shining o’er you, When the truth’s what’s deep inside! (horns respond softly — trumpets) Choir (echoing): When the truth’s what’s deep inside! Pre-Chorus (Groove Builds - Electro Swing Pulse) (drums: full swing beat joins; synth brass punctuates beat 2 and 4) Lead (jazzy tone): Step in faith, step in time — Every heartbeat marks the line — The light of heaven shows the way, And it’s shining bright today! Chorus (Full Brass Hit - Big Band Joy) All voices: Choose the right! Choose the right! Let wisdom light the way before! In His light, choose the right! And God will bless you evermore! (horns, clarinet, snare) Instrumental Break (Electro Swing Solo - Modern Vintage) (trumpets, clarinet: swooping run, guitar, bass, drums riff) Background vocal scat (wordless, jazzy): Ba-da-ba, doo-wop, doo-wop — choose the right! Verse 2 (Cool Groove - Soulful Flow) Choose the right, let no spirit of digression Turn your heart from the path divine. There’s a right and a wrong to every question, So follow the Spirit’s sign! (horns: light counter-melody behind lead) Choir (echoing): Follow the Spirit’s sign! Pre-Chorus (Funky Bridge - Gospel Swing) (bass walk gets thicker; piano adds syncopated stabs) Lead (soft, soulful): Oh, when the world starts pullin’ you down — And the night won’t fade away… You better lift your head to heaven now, Let the Spirit lead your day! (horns swell in “Amen”-like chords) Chorus (Electro Swing Revival - Big, Full Energy) All voices (big-band style harmony): Choose the right! Choose the right! Let wisdom light the way before! In His light, choose the right! And God will bless you evermore! (drums, horns and trumpet improv fills the turn) Verse 3 (Breakdown – Soul Jazz Moment) (music drops to bass, piano, and finger snaps) Lead (gentle and soulful): Choose the right — there is peace in righteous doin’. Choose the right — there’s safety for the soul. Choose the right in every labor you’re pursuin’ — Let heaven be your goal. (horns rejoin with warmth; choir hums “mmm…” underneath) Final Chorus (Full Band – Swing Revival Finish) All voices: Choose the right! Choose the right! Let wisdom light the way before! In His light, choose the right! And God will bless you evermore! (horns: final big riff with trumpets, trombone and clarinet) Lead (spoken with smile): Now that’s the right kind of choice. (final hit — (band: jazz stinger chord with tambourine shake))
