It Came Upon a Midnight Brew

[Intro: Contemporary pop piano riff with shimmering synth pads, slow and atmospheric] [Verse 1: Smooth male or female vocals, soft pop piano arpeggios, building synth pads] It came upon a midnight brew, That spirit of the night, A clear and potent liquid dew, All shimmering with light. From stainless steel, a vapor rose, The whispers in the still, And silent, through the darkness, goes The master of the rill. [Interlude: Synth pad swells, a subtle, almost glitchy electronic shimmer like evaporating steam, pop piano fills] [Verse 2: Vocals gain slight intensity, more prominent synth melody takes over from the "English horn" role, driving piano chords] Still through the cloistered workshop room, The magic started then, A trickle in the gathering gloom, For thirsty, eager men. For evermore its message rings, Above life's restless throng, With pure delight the drinker sings, This potent, crystal song. [Outro: Synth pads fade slowly, lingering piano chords, a final subtle electronic shimmer] [End]
