1. Vanishing Wild

[Genre: 70s British Rock (Art Rock, Eclectic) ] [Theme: Global warming, focusing on its effect on animals of the Northern Hemisphere ] [Instrumentation: Layered electric & acoustic guitars, Mellotron, deep bass, dynamic drums, atmospheric synths, occasional brass for dramatic effect ] [Vocal Style: Male vocals, expressive and haunting, shifting between intimate and powerful delivery ] [Melody & Harmony: Melancholic verses with a soaring, urgent chorus ] [Rhythm & Groove: A mix of brooding, slow-burning sections and dramatic, driving grooves ] [Hook & Repetition: Refrain built around "Where will they go?" for impact ] [Mood & Energy: A blend of sorrowful beauty and rising intensity, mirroring the urgency of the message ] [Singalong Factor: Epic chorus with repeatable phrases for audience engagement ] [Intro] (Ethereal Mellotron, slow guitar arpeggios, deep rolling bass, and a distant howling wind effect) [Pause] (Soft, spoken male vocal over sparse chords) Footsteps in the snow… Will they leave a trail tomorrow? [Verse 1] The white wolf runs, the caribou roam, Through shrinking lands they once called home. The frozen rivers start to break, The echoes fade, the ice will shake. [Pre-Chorus] The northern lights still dance above, But the ground below is giving up… [Chorus] (Big, soaring, anthemic with harmony vocals) Where will they go? Where will they hide? The old world melts before our eyes. Where will they go? Where will they run? Chasing the shadows of the vanishing sun. [Verse 2] The polar bear drifts, the salmon runs dry, The eagle circles, but nothing flies. The forest burns, the tundra sighs, And no one listens to their cries. [Pre-Chorus] The northern lights still dance above, But the ground below is giving up… [Chorus] (Big, soaring, anthemic with harmony vocals) Where will they go? Where will they hide? The old world melts before our eyes. Where will they go? Where will they run? Chasing the shadows of the vanishing sun. [Instrumental Break] [Guitar solo builds from mournful bluesy lines to an intense, wailing climax, underpinned by pulsating drums and deep, cinematic bass.] [Bridge][Soft, spoken male vocal over Mellotron and acoustic guitar] Snowflakes fall like ghosts in flight… Drifting, fading into night… No footprints left behind… [Dramatic drum fill leads back into final chorus] [Chorus] [Final, most powerful rendition with full band and layered harmonies] Where will they go? Where will they hide? The old world melts before our eyes. Where will they go? Where will they run? Chasing the shadows of the vanishing sun. [Outro] [Fading arpeggios, distant echoes of a howling wolf, Mellotron swells dissolve into silence…] No footprints left behind… [Dramatic drum fill leads back into final chorus] [Chorus] [Final, most powerful rendition with full band and layered harmonies] Where will they go? Where will they hide? The old world melts before our eyes. Where will they go? Where will they run? Chasing the shadows of the vanishing sun. [interlude: long instrumental] [Outro] [Fading arpeggios, distant echoes of a howling wolf, Mellotron swells dissolve into silence…] [fade to end] [ad lib] [end]
