Slow Dance in a Fast City - K:AI (Night Nurse Remix)

[Intro] [City ambience, a distant siren, a soft Rhodes chord, deep bass pulse fades in, a hummed melody] Mm... slow down [Verse 1 – sung, low, intimate, smooth soulful male voice] Taxi lights on wet asphalt Everybody running, nobody stops Screens in every window, glowing blue The whole damn city rushing through But you put your hand in mine Said "let's not follow the line" And the noise went soft and far Like a radio down the street [Pre-Chorus – sung, rising, harmonies, filter sweep] Everything's moving But we don't have to Everything's moving But I'm with you [Chorus – sung, huge, soaring melody, gospel-tinged runs, layered harmonies] Slow dance in a fast city Hold me while the world goes by Slow dance in a fast city Let the lights turn, let the clock fly We've got nowhere to be Just your hand and me Slow dance in a fast city Oh-oh-oh (Slow dance, slow dance) [Verse 2 – sung, groove, more rhythm, warm] Rush hour roaring on the street below Seven million people, nowhere to go But the kitchen's got a light and a song And your feet on mine, can't go wrong I used to chase the next big thing Now I just chase your hum Four a.m., the radio low You're the only place I want to be from [Pre-Chorus – sung, rising, harmonies] Everything's moving But we don't have to Everything's moving But I'm with you [Chorus – sung, huge, soaring melody, gospel-tinged runs, layered harmonies] Slow dance in a fast city Hold me while the world goes by Slow dance in a fast city Let the lights turn, let the clock fly We've got nowhere to be Just your hand and me Slow dance in a fast city Oh-oh-oh (Slow dance, slow dance) [Rap Verse – male rap, confident, tight flow, half-time groove] Yo, subway shaking, coffee spilling, everybody late Phones in their hands like it's a weapon, it's a trade I'm moving slow on purpose, got the whole block on pause Cause what I'm holding right here's worth the applause Money, miles, followers, ten thousand likes None of it matters when you're holding me tight Got a lifetime, got a rhythm, got a heartbeat in my chest Slow dance, fast city, I don't need the rest [Instrumental Drop] [Half-time switch, bass takes the lead, saxophone solo, Rhodes answers, strings swell, filter sweep builds, then everything slams back in, euphoric] [Bridge – sung, a cappella, raw, powerful, voice alone with a single clap, then rising] [Everything stops. Only the voice.] I used to think the meaning was out there Past the buildings, past the sky Turns out it was right here, spinning slow In the middle of the lights, you and I [Choir enters, drums roll] [Build-up – sung, harmonies stacking, drums rolling] Hold me, hold me Let it go Hold me, hold me Slow, slow, slow [Final Chorus – key change up, full band, gospel choir, strings, biggest moment, powerful belting, falsetto ad-libs] Slow dance in a fast city (Slow dance!) Hold me while the world goes by Slow dance in a fast city (Slow dance!) Let the lights turn, let the clock fly We've got nowhere to be Just your hand and me Slow dance in a fast city Oh, slow dance in a fast city (Slow dance, slow dance) [Outro] [Beat fades out, saxophone lingers, city ambience returns softly, a soft breath] [whisper] Stay.
