Title: Roxi-Band: Studio: Wings for the Wounded
[PROLOGUE] [LIZ]: (Harmonica; a lonely, weeping blues melody, heavy on the breath, echoing in a large, empty hall.) [INTRO] [ROXI]: (Adult female spoken voice, mature smoky Celtic alto timbre with Irish/Scottish inflection; low, intimate, slightly raspy.) They see the cage. They see the bars. They don't see the fire. They don't see the scars. This is for the ones who feel like they're at the end of the line. This is the flight. [VERSE 1] [MILFRED]: (Hard-hitting, syncopated breakbeats; gritty, industrial percussion; heavy kick drum.) [ROXI]: (Adult female lead rapper; mature smoky Celtic alto timbre with Irish/Scottish inflection; aggressive, rapid-fire delivery, internal rhymes, biting consonant attack.) Look, they see a bum, they see a trailer, they see a ghost in the 313, But they don't see the rhythm, they don't hear the truth in the way I live. They want the crown, they want the shine, they want the easy way to the top, But they don't know the hunger, the way the heart beats until it wants to stop. I'm a piece of the puzzle they threw away, a shadow in the pouring rain, But I'm standing tall, I'm screaming out, I'm finding power in the pain! [VERSE 2] [SEPHYR-GLEN]: (Concert grand piano enters; delicate, rolling arpeggios; nostalgic, slightly melancholic tone.) [ROXI]: (Adult female lead singer; mature smoky Celtic alto; unmistakable Irish/Scottish inflection; smooth, melodic singing.) The day before, you were small, a flicker in the morning mist, Looking for a way to stand, a way to exist. I saw the light in your eyes, a sudden, sharp, and beautiful spark, A tiny flame of courage rising up against the heavy dark. You weren't afraid to be seen, you weren't afraid to let it show, The "Madonna" in the mirror, the beauty only you could know. [CHORUS] [JILL]: (Electric bass; massive, distorted funk-soul pocket; deep, melodic slides; heavy gravity.) [ROXI]: (Adult female lead singer; mature smoky Celtic alto; unmistakable Irish/Scottish inflection; powerful, soaring head-voice, anthemic.) So hold on tight to the dream, don't let the ship sail far away, I’m standing by your side, I’m the ground beneath your feet today! When the world gets loud and the shadows fall and you're running out of luck, I’ll be the hand that reaches out, I’ll be the love that breaks the stuck! [BREAK] [MILFRED]: (Drum fill; rapid, progressive jazz-inflected snare rolls transitioning into a driving 4/4 rock beat.) [LIZ]: (Uilleann pipes; soaring, ornamented melody; cutting through the mix with a haunting, Celtic wail.) [BRIDGE] [ROXI]: (Adult female lead rapper; mature smoky Celtic alto timbre with Irish/Scottish inflection; rhythmic, half-time flow; intense.) They said you'd break. They said you'd fold. They said the story was all told. But they didn't count on the weight of the soul, the way the spirit takes control. It’s the power of the "still," the power of the "here," The way we find our wings by facing every single fear! [CHORUS] [JILL]: (Electric bass; driving, syncopated funk-rock; heavy, percussive attack.) [ROXI]: (Adult female lead singer; mature smoky Celtic alto; unmistakable Irish/Scottish inflection; full-power, emotional belt.) So hold on tight to the dream, don't let the ship sail far away, I’m standing by your side, I’m the ground beneath your feet today! When the world gets loud and the shadows fall and you're running out of luck, I’ll be the hand that reaches out, I’ll be the love that breaks the stuck! [OUTRO] [SEPHYR-GLEN]: (Piano; sustained, lush chords; fading into a gentle, melodic trill.) [ROXI]: (Adult female spoken voice; mature smoky Celtic alto timbre; intimate whisper.) Don't ever wonder where I am. I'm right here. [LIZ]: (Harmonica; a final, warm, bluesy note that trails off into a long, echoing decay.) [END]
