10 Legacy of Color
[Intro: Instrumental] (electric guitar slow tremolo single notes entering alone, G major, pianissimo, extensive rests, dry close-mic) [Verse 1: Sparse, Whisper vocal] (mezzo-piano dynamics, upright piano soft block chords, tremolo guitar single notes continuing, drums tacet, legato vocal phrasing) アンバー on the rooftops after the light went out a window holding purple it was given nobody lit the lamp yet the street keeps the afterglow [Pre-Chorus: Build-up] (crescendo poco a poco, brushed drum kit entering, glockenspiel single notes ascending, harmonium swelling underneath) the light is gone the light is gone and look at all it left [Chorus: Anthemic, Emotional] (mezzo-forte dynamics, upright piano fuller voicings, double bass pedal tone on G, harmonium sustained, brushed kit steady, vocal doubling) the light goes first, the color stays the light goes first, the color stays whatever burned out over there painted this much of the sky the light goes first, the color stays the light goes first, the color stays I'm made of what was left behind and that was always the brightest part [Verse 2: Sparse, Whisper vocal] (clean delivery continuing, harmonium sustained entering, double bass pedal tone, subtle dynamic swell) the sun went down behind the water tower the sky kept working on its colors orange first, then violet, then a blue so dark it's almost a sound I stood there like I'd been asked to witness [Pre-Chorus: Build-up] (crescendo poco a poco, brushed drum kit entering, glockenspiel single notes ascending, harmonium swelling underneath) the light is gone the light is gone and look at all it left [Chorus: Anthemic, Emotional] (mezzo-forte dynamics, upright piano fuller voicings, double bass pedal tone on G, harmonium sustained, brushed kit steady, vocal doubling) the light goes first, the color stays the light goes first, the color stays whatever burned out over there painted this much of the sky the light goes first, the color stays the light goes first, the color stays I'm made of what was left behind and that was always the brightest part [Bridge: Dramatic twist, Aggressive] (sudden dynamic swell, full texture fortissimo, tremolo guitar swelling, drums thickening, harmony left unresolved on the dominant D major seventh chord) NOBODY WATCHES THE SUN, THEY WATCH WHAT IT LEAVES I USED TO THINK THE LIGHT WAS THE WHOLE POINT BUT THE LIGHT WAS ONLY HOW THE COLOR GOT HERE AND THE COLOR IS WHAT I GET TO KEEP [Hook: Modulation to A major, Climactic crescendo, Anthemic] (modulation, tutti dynamics, upright piano full chords, harmonium and glockenspiel doubling, harmony resolving upward) so keep the orange on the clouds keep the violet on the glass the light goes first, the color stays and the color is what I am so keep the orange on the clouds keep the violet on the glass the light goes first, the color stays and I am what the color kept [Outro: Fade Out] (ritardando, rubato, layers dropping out one at a time, glockenspiel single note decaying into a long silence) orange, then violet, then dark that was the whole inheritance
