[Intro] (Clean, hypnotic fingerpicked acoustic guitar intertwining with a warm Vox combo organ) (Light, rolling jazz-rock drums and a mellow bassline ease in) [Vocals: Poetic, haunting baritone male lead, close to the mic] [Verse 1] [Instrumentation: Swaying, introspective Laurel Canyon folk groove] [Vocals: Smooth baritone, accompanied by soft, ghostly four-part harmonies on the echoes] We met one October night... Not knowing at the time, That soon our four-hour phone calls Would turn into sharing a life. We bought matching necklaces... An 'L' and then an 'A'. We walked above Hollywood... 'Til the daylight slipped away. [Pre-Chorus 1] [Instrumentation: Vox organ swells, drums build a tribal, hypnotic rhythm] [Vocals: Theatrical, rising baritone] I knew without thinking... [Four-Part Harmony enters:] It’s as easy as breathing... [Chorus] [Instrumentation: Full 1970s folk-rock bloom, lush acoustic strumming, deep analog bass] [Vocals: Massive, soaring four-part vocal harmonies, warm and golden] Every time I look at life You’re what I’m grateful for! Every time I think I’ve felt it all I love you more. I never knew a love Could make me feel this whole. You’re more than just my heart, You’re part of my soul... (Part of my soul...) [Verse 2] [Instrumentation: Darker acid-rock shift, trippy blues guitar licks over the acoustic picking] [Vocals: Intimate baritone, shamanic and storytelling] Three hundred and fifteen miles... Turned to waking up with you. Now all our days are magic, Nights are city lights and mountain views. You’ve seen every side of me... And love me as I am. There’s nothing better than... Falling in love with your best friend. [Pre-Chorus 2] [Instrumentation: Vox organ swirls with a dark psychedelic rotary effect] [Vocals: Theatrical, rising baritone] I know what I’m feeling... [Four-Part Harmony enters:] It’s as easy as breathing... [Chorus] [Instrumentation: Lush, driving folk-rock, cymbals washing like waves] [Vocals: Huge four-part Laurel Canyon harmonies] Every time I look at life You’re what I’m grateful for! Every time I think I’ve felt it all I love you more. I never knew a love Could make me feel this whole. You’re more than just my heart, You’re part of my soul... (Part of my soul...) [Bridge - The Psychedelic Breakdown] [Instrumentation: 1960s acid rock shift. Guitars get trippy and delayed, heavy rolling tom-toms] [Hypnotic Vox combo organ takes a theatrical, haunting solo] [Vocals: Lone, echoing baritone floating in the mix] I was searching way too long... ‘Til I finally got it right. Now I see the future... That I’ve dreamed of all my life... [Chorus] [Instrumentation: Maximum warmth, the sun coming out through the clouds, rich acoustic strumming] [Vocals: Soaring, angelic four-part vocal harmonies, blending perfectly] Every time I look at life You’re what I’m grateful for! Every time I think I’ve felt it all I love you more. I never knew a love Could make me feel this whole. You’re more than just my heart, You’re part of my soul... [All voices uniting:] You’re part of my soul... [Outro] [Instrumentation: Drifting back down to just the clean fingerpicked guitar and Vox organ] [Vocals: A cappella four-part harmony fading into the analog tape hiss] Part of my soul... [Warm, resonant acoustic guitar chord rings out] [End]
