Echoes on the Wind
Smoky bolero ballad with muted trumpet and nylon-string Spanish guitar trading phrases, Light percussion with cajón and brushes; bass moves sparsely under the vocal, Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, chorus blooms with stacked harmonies and a more reverb-washed horn answering the vocal, Male vocals, tender but gritty at the edges
V4.5-ALL
[Verse 1] You left your ring On my bedside book Dust on the frame Where your laughter shook Late sun bleeding Across that empty chair Two cups cooling Only one heart there [Chorus] Echoes on the wind Calling out your name Every stone-white silence Spells it just the same Echoes on the wind Cutting through my skin You are gone But every corner Lets you back in [Verse 2] Street cat watching As I slam the door Your red scarf tangled On the kitchen floor Old song playing From the bar downstairs I taste goodbye In the smoky air [Chorus] [Bridge] Muted brass crying Where my voice gives out Guitar strings fraying Under every doubt If I walk this town 'til my shoes wear thin Will the dust stop Carrying you in [Chorus]
