[Intro] [Deep, rising cello melodies building tension] [Emotional tenor saxophone accompaniment] [Fast 170 BPM liquid DnB breakbeat starts] [Panning: Cello on the right, Saxophone on the left] [Verse 1] [Male vocals, Pan: Right] You never say what’s hurting, just your silence cuts through, Waiting for me to solve the secret thoughts inside of you. [Choir/Center]: (Silence cuts through, solve the secret too!) [Response] [Female vocals, Pan: Left] [Saxophone riff answer] When I speak, you don’t listen, eyes fixed upon the screen, The weight of all my words is something you have never seen. [Choir/Center]: (Fixed upon the screen, never felt or seen!) [Chorus] [Center: Full Mixed Choir] [Powerful sub-bass and lush string hits] But a bridge needs both sides standing, if one stops, it will fall, We must speak and we must listen, 'til our hearts answer the call. [Verse 2] [Male vocals, Pan: Right] In every single fight, you bring up mistakes from a year ago, The shadows of your past make every new hour dark and low. [Choir/Center]: (Mistakes from a year ago, every hour dark and low!) [Response] [Female vocals, Pan: Left] [Soprano sax fill] Because my trust is broken, and the walls reach to the sky, The jealous thoughts within me live again and never die. [Choir/Center]: (Walls reach to the sky, they never die!) [Chorus] [Center: Full Mixed Choir] [Deep analog funk bassline] Let go of all your yesterdays, and build the present high, Forgiveness is the melody that brings peace by and by. [Bridge] [Drum roll build up] [Interlocking tenor sax and rising cellos] [Male/Right]: The housework is waiting... [Female/Left]: The intimacy’s gone... [Choir/Center]: Share the burden! [Verse 3] [Male vocals, Pan: Right] We argue 'bout the money, where the budget always goes, My freedom’s getting tighter, your control just grows and grows. [Choir/Center]: (Where the budget goes, control just grows!) [Response] [Female vocals, Pan: Left] [Tenor sax answer] Your family is too close, they interfere in all we do, And my needs never seem to fit the plans made up by you. [Choir/Center]: (Interfere in all we do, no room for me and you!) [Outro] [All voices together, Wide stereo] [Complex liquid DnB outro with tribal rolls] Life’s not ten mistakes, but ten chances to be true, Listen to the word, listen to the song, listen to the person in you. [Final emotional Cello and Saxophone duet] [Fade out] [End]
