[122 BPM] | [Psychedelic Progressive House] | [F minor] [Mood: Warm] [Energy: Building] [Intro | filtered kick alone | synth guitar entering with long delay | pads fading up underneath | no bass yet] [Verse 1 | close half spoken tenor | behind the beat | kick and sub bass only | pads dropped out | synth guitar answering the ends of lines] Before I go Before I go I left the light on in the hall, I fixed the thing you never asked me to, I wrote your name inside the door, Where nobody will look but you. Before I go Before I go I'm no good at the last part, I get halfway and lose the thread, So I'm giving you a song instead Of everything I should have said. [Build 1 | pads swelling back in | hats entering | bass filter opening | synth guitar climbing | Energy: Building] And I know how this goes, I've done this in my head all week, I rehearse it and I never speak, So take it while I've got the nerve. [Pre-Drop | everything cuts but the kick | vocal dry and close | reverse cymbal | stutter on the repeat] Go before I Go before I Run out of words — [Drop | full sub bass | sidechain pumping | synth guitar carrying the hook | pads wide underneath | Energy: High] Before I go Before I go Before I go Before I go [Groove | synth guitar improvising over the four | bass rolling | vocal chops filtering in and out] Before I — before I — Before I go [Verse 2 | pads dropping away again | kick and bass only | vocal close and warm | synth guitar sparse] Before I go Before I go There's a version of this where I stay, And I've lived in it a hundred times, It's forgiveness, it's a warm day, And it's not a place that I can find. Before I go Before I go You'll be fine and that's the worst of it, You'll sleep through the first few nights, And I'll be somewhere counting cars And getting all the timing right. [Build 2 | longer riser | hats doubling | pads rising | synth guitar bending upward | maximum tension] And I know how this goes, I say it kind and say it slow, And I stay another hour anyway, So push me out before I know. [Pre-Drop | everything cuts but the kick | vocal dry and stuttered] Go before I Go before I Start sounding absurd — [Drop 2 | harder | fuller bass | synth guitar louder in the mix | Energy: High] Before I go Before I go Before I go Before I go [Instrumental | synth guitar solo over the four on the floor | long bends and legato phrasing | pads swelling behind it | bass rolling | no vocal | Energy: High] [Breakdown | bass and drums drop out entirely | single synth guitar note held with delay | pads bare | vocal closest it has been | Energy: Low] [Vulnerable] I am asking you to keep this. I am asking you to have it for a while. Everything I'm made of came from somewhere else, And it's all going somewhere else again. This is just the shape it made While it was passing through the two of us. [Rebuild | kick returning slowly | riser stacking | pads climbing | vocal stuttering | tension maximum] Go before I — Go before I — Go before I leave, It'll be easier to sleep — [Final Drop | biggest arrangement | full bass | synth guitar at full volume carrying the melody | pads wide | Energy: High] Before I go Before I go Before I go Before I go [Outro | elements filtering out one by one | synth guitar alone with long delay | kick fading | no resolution] Before I go...
