Something's Coming

Southern gospel-soul rock anthem, gritty raspy male lead vocal, Hammond organ intro, low hum, gospel choir, handclaps, slow build with no full drums through the first half, deep laid-back spoken hype verse, heartbeat breakdown, explosive full-band drop, warm analog room sound, thick organ, driving roots-rock drums, choir ad-libs and call-and-response, dramatic dynamic arrangement

[Intro – lone organ, a low hum, no drums]

[Verse 1 – gritty soul vocal, quiet]
Ordered it late on a Tuesday night
Told myself it was nothing much
Now I'm checking the tracking like it's a scoreline
Every van on the street, I'm looking up
I cleared a space on the shelf already
Six bottles wide, a little more
Haven't tasted a drop, and I'm standing at the window
Like I know what I'm waiting for

[Pre-Chorus – choir hums underneath, rising]
Through the gate, past the vines, down the pass
Over the mountain, coming fast

[Chorus – big, gospel choir, still no full drums]
Something's coming
I can feel it at the door
Something's coming
And I've been ready since the night before
Franschhoek's in a box and the box has got my name
Something's coming, and I'm never gonna wait the same

[Spoken Verse – second voice, deep, laid-back, hype, over organ and handclaps]
Yeah. Six o'clock, the cellar door
Jacques signed it off, the crew packed the floor
Two Dogs, a Duck, a Bird and a Brut
One box, one name, one road, one route
Rebels of the Vine, coming to your street
Better clear the table, better find a seat
This ain't a delivery. This is the show
Knock knock, baby. Here we go.

[Breakdown – everything drops out except a heartbeat and the choir, whispered]
Something's coming…
Something's coming…

[The Drop – full drums crash in, the knock at the door, band and choir at full tilt]

[Chorus – full band]
Something's coming
It's standing at the door
Something's coming
And I've been ready since the night before
Franschhoek's in a box and the box has got my name
Something's coming, and I'm never gonna wait the same

[Verse 3 – vocal alone with organ, warm, the pitch]
Now you know the feeling, and it don't come free
It comes on a Tuesday when you least expect
You don't have to wait for it, you don't have to chase
You could just be on the list
And it comes every cycle, straight to your place

[Final Chorus – choir, band, handclaps, ad-libs]
Something's coming
Every time, to your door
Something's coming
And you'll be ready like the night before
Franschhoek's in a box and the box has got my name
Something's coming. You'll never wait the same.

[Outro – organ, choir fade, spoken]
You're on the list now. See you next cycle.
