Moonlight Electric

V6

[Title: Electric Moonlight] [Intro - Clean highlife guitar, bells, soft whispered female vocals] Light of the moon… Light… light… Oh-eh-oh… ever quivering… [Chorus - Warm Rhodes, sub-bass, shaker, smooth calm female vocal] Moonlight electric, all shimmering, Writhes on the waves, ever quivering; Under its spell the sea's simmering, Heaving and swelling and shivering. [Verse 1 - Talking drum, congas, call and response vocals] Stubborn, the breakers come thundering, Captive (Captive!) and wild (Wild!) in their battering, Hurling at basalt and sundering, Flaring up, foaming and shattering! [Pre-Chorus - Percussion only, handclaps, rising vocal energy] Higher, up moonlight's thin string, Closer to surf, let it sing, Brighter! Don't smother the glow! Sea, take me into your flow! [Chorus - Full afro-pop groove, backing choir response] Moonlight electric, all shimmering, Writhes on the waves, ever quivering; Under its spell the sea's simmering, Heaving and swelling and shivering. [Post-Hook - Syncopated synth lead, vocal chant] Moonlight electric — oh! Moonlight electric — oh! Quiver-i-i-ing… Moonlight electric — oh! [Verse 2 - Dense polyrhythm, intimate dry female vocal, warm bass] Salt on my lips, silver-glimmering, Wrists full of current, a quickening, Path to the moon, gently shimmering, Sea to my palms keeps on beckoning. [Bridge - Minimal highlife guitar, intimate female vocal, choir builds at end] Moon, you are swaying and shivering, Caught in the wave and its quivering. Look, we're ignited and kindling, Swaying with light, never dwindling. [Final Chorus - Full band, energetic choir, dynamic ad-libs] Moonlight electric, all shimmering (Light!) Writhes on the waves, ever quivering (Ah-ah!) Under its spell the sea's simmering, Heaving (Heave!) and swelling and shivering! [Outro - Instruments fade out one by one, guitar solo and whispered female vocal] Light of the moon… Simmering… shivering… Moonlight… electric. [Fade Out] [End]
