LOVE — Marcus Murry Remix

[INTRO — solo female vocal, close-mic; warm acoustic guitar, room air, no drums] You say you’d find me in every lifetime… [small breath] I think I’d know you before you even arrived. --- [VERSE 1 — intimate female vocal; fingerpicked acoustic guitar, tiny reverse textures, almost no percussion] If there’s another life I don’t think I’d need your name Something in the way you move would probably feel the same Maybe different hands different city different face But I’d know that little gravity the second you came my way You say distance space could never pull us wide I believe you Some things don’t disappear just because they’re out of sight And if every version of you keeps looking back for mine Maybe love is just two souls remembering at different times --- [PRE-CHORUS — soft rim click, one conga ghost, distant 808 enters] You say you’d stay when the pretty part is through So tell me— when it gets quiet would you still recognize me too? --- [CHORUS — acoustic stays forward; heavenly female stacks, deep soft 808] Love… my love… If you keep falling I’ll be falling somewhere too Maybe not beside you Maybe just on my way to you Love… my love… If there’s a place the words can’t reach us through Then meet me there I think I’d still remember you --- [POST-CHORUS — deconstructed bolero fragments; guitar harmonics, whispered vocal grains L/R] Remember you… before the name before the face before the proof --- [VERSE 2 — slightly fuller indie pocket; sparse bolero percussion, subtle heaven-trap shimmer] Maybe in another life I’m late getting on a train You’re standing by the window watching weather hit the pane I don’t know who you are yet still— something makes me stay Like my body heard the answer before my mind could form the phrase And I don’t call it destiny That word feels too rehearsed Maybe we just leave an imprint every time we cross the earth Maybe every little lifetime doesn’t start completely new Maybe some part of me keeps waking up already knowing you --- [PRE-CHORUS — percussion drops away except rim + breath] And if the years change everything we knew Would you still look at me like some part of you remembered too? --- [CHORUS — wider harmony, still intimate; acoustic guitar remains the spine] Love… my love… If you keep falling I’ll be falling somewhere too Maybe not beside you Maybe just on my way to you Love… my love… If there’s a place the words can’t reach us through Then meet me there I think I’d still remember you --- [BRIDGE — nearly naked; guitar + fragmented bolero percussion + floating vocal pad] You said— every lifetime every skyline you’d come looking. [small pause] Maybe you wouldn’t have to. Maybe I’d already be turning toward you. Maybe love isn’t finding. Maybe it’s recognition. [808 heartbeat returns] Maybe it’s— there you are. Again. --- [OUTRO — acoustic guitar, distant female harmonies, soft 808 dissolving] So if you find me in another lifetime… don’t explain. Just look at me. I think I’ll know. Love… mmmm… I think I’ll know.
