Flesh and Bone - Symphonic

[Intro] [Beautiful acoustic piano and warm cello lead melody] [Soft orchestral strings] [Powerful emotive female vocals] [Verse 1] [Gentle pizzicato strings and woodwinds] Woke up to the sunlight hitting the floor Nothing extraordinary, just like before But then I saw you breathing, steady and deep A simple rhythm that the universe keeps We aren’t made of code, we aren’t made of steel We’re just a fragile wiring that knows how to feel [Pre-Chorus] [Orchestral crescendo building up - sweeping strings] It’s messy and it’s loud It’s head in the clouds But I wouldn’t trade this gravity For any other reality [Chorus] [Full symphonic orchestra, rich brass and timpani] Oh, the glory of being flesh and bone To have a heart you can call your own It’s the coffee in the morning, the touch of your hand Things a machine could never understand To be broken, to be mended, to rise up above That’s the beautiful chaos of human love (Yeah, that’s human love) [Verse 2] [Music strips back to solo cello and light piano] We don’t live forever, we run out of time And that’s what makes this moment so damn sublime No backup saved on a distant drive Just you and me here, feeling alive Scars on our skin tell us where we have been And your eyes show me everywhere that we’re going [Pre-Chorus] [Rising tension in string section] It’s messy and it’s loud It’s head in the clouds But I wouldn’t trade this gravity For any other reality [Chorus] [Full symphonic orchestra returns] Oh, the glory of being flesh and bone To have a heart you can call your own It’s the coffee in the morning, the touch of your hand Things a machine could never understand To be broken, to be mended, to rise up above That’s the beautiful chaos of human love [Bridge] [Staccato strings and heavy percussion] We stumble, we fall, we get it all wrong But the cracks are exactly where we belong Yeah, we belong! [Emotional Cello Solo] [Sweeping orchestral accompaniment and soaring violin] [Chorus] [Grand Symphonic Climax - Maximum energy] Oh, the glory of being flesh and bone To have a heart you can call your own It’s the coffee in the morning, the touch of your hand Things a machine could never understand To be broken, to be mended, to rise up above That’s the beautiful chaos of human love [Outro] [Symphony gradually fades out] (So human, so human) Just flesh and bone And a heart of our own [Sustained cello ending]
