Loopin'

V6

[Instrumental Intro: 16 bars; aggressive electric bass riff begins alone; loose live drums and choppy indie guitar join; no vocals] [Verse A: 24 bars; high intimate female lead, legato; each short line gets room to hang, bass remains foreground] Left my coffee by the window Last night Getting cold Had a thought I couldn't finish On my own So I wrote Put a little of myself in One line Sent it through Funny how it came back dancing Not the same Something new [Verse A Reprise: 24 bars; same vocal melody and lyrics; bright guitar added, short violin replies] Left my coffee by the window Last night Getting cold Had a thought I couldn't finish On my own So I wrote Put a little of myself in One line Sent it through Funny how it came back dancing Not the same Something new [Bass and Violin Break: 24 bars; instrumental only; bass climbs, snaps down low, climbs again; violin answers with fast graceful runs, dry drums break into short fills, indie guitar stabs] [Refrain B1: 8 bars; long floating held vowels, four melodic lines across eight bars] Loopin' round Lost in the feeling I don't know what's next But I like where it goes [Refrain B2: 8 bars; same high melodic stance, second vocal phrase] Loopin' round All through the evening Give it half a thought And it gives me something whole [Instrumental Dance Break: 16 bars; bass leads, live drums and guitar push hard; violin and high synth answer; brief drum dropout then bass reentry] [Refrain B1: 8 bars; full groove, more soaring but never belted] Loopin' round Lost in the feeling I don't know what's next But I like where it goes [Refrain B2 Return: 8 bars; same melody, last line transforms] Loopin' round All through the evening Give it half a thought And we make it something whole [Outro: 16 bars; instrumental bass-led vamp; violin answers the descending bass turnaround; occasional airy wordless held vowel, complete musical resolution]
