[Style: Shimmering 1989 jangle-pop baggy groove, chiming 12-string guitars, melodic bouncing bassline, euphoric male vocal, bright three-part harmonies] [Tempo: 122 BPM, upbeat, uplifting, bright] [Intro] [Sparkling 12-string guitar arpeggios, clean and chiming] [Melodic bassline enters, fluid and high on the neck] [Snare kicks in with rolling hi-hat groove] [Distant reverbed "Whoo!"] [Verse 1] [Sweet, melodic lead vocal, John Squire style bright guitar licks underneath] Morning unrolls like a bolt of fresh calico Streets washed in yellow wherever the buses go Dust off the asphalt is turning to diamond dust Throw off the locks and forget all the creeping rust You got a pocketful of secondhand spark Drawing up constellations in the afternoon dark [Pre-Chorus] [Guitars thicken with warm overdrive, bass runs accelerate] [Harmonies bloom on the ends of every line] Tides are pulling at the hem of your coat Every small whisper turns into a note Rising through the pavement, lifting off your boots Ripping up the tarmac right down to the roots! [Chorus] [Huge dynamic lift, soaring euphoric vocal melody, lush harmonies] Feel it rising up through the floor! That new wave emotion knocking at your door! Catch it in your palms before it blows into the sea— You don't need a map when you’re spinning with me! New wave emotion! Brighter than the sun on the ocean! [Post-Chorus] [Catchy guitar hook, joyful open-chord strums, tambourine drive] [Verse 2] Stare through the glass at the chemist display Colour returns to the corners we threw away Trams on the wires are spitting out violet sparks Singers and strangers are spilling through public parks Nobody questions the shape of the day ahead Living in cinema technicolour instead [Pre-Chorus] [Bass pedals the root note, guitars chime in ringing octaves] Tides are pulling at the hem of your coat Every small whisper turns into a note Rising through the pavement, lifting off your boots Ripping up the tarmac right down to the roots! [Chorus] [Loud, ringing, sunny vocal blast] Feel it rising up through the floor! That new wave emotion knocking at your door! Catch it in your palms before it blows into the sea— You don't need a map when you’re spinning with me! New wave emotion! Brighter than the sun on the ocean! [Bridge] [Music softens into a swirling psychedelic pool] [Leslie-speaker guitar arpeggios float side to side] [Lead vocal sings in gentle falsetto harmonies] And we don't look behind us now The heavy weather broke somehow Sky opened wide, the cobbles turned white Bathed in the flood of an emerald light... [Snare builds with steady crescendo] One... two... three... lift! [Instrumental Break] [Blissed-out, melodic guitar solo weaving with bouncy bassline] [Chiming tambourine, ecstatic indie-dance rhythm] [Verse 3] [Fast, energetic return, guitars strummed hard and bright] Now there’s a current that's running through fingertip Spilling like fountain drops over a smiling lip Every dull avenue looks like an open bay Nothing can hold back the rush of the golden day [Pre-Chorus] [Maximum build, backing vocals soaring behind the lead] Tides are pulling at the hem of your coat Every small whisper turns into a note Rising through the pavement, lifting off your boots Ripping up the tarmac right down to the roots! [Chorus] [Full euphoric explosion, multi-tracked vocal harmonies] Feel it rising up through the floor! That new wave emotion knocking at your door! Catch it in your palms before it blows into the sea— You don't need a map when you’re spinning with me! New wave emotion! Brighter than the sun on the ocean! [Outro] [Guitars and bass lock into an ecstatic repeating loop] New wave emotion, rolling in deep! Waking every dreamer out of heavy sleep! Feel it rise... feel it rise... [Chiming chords ringing out long and clear] [Tambourine tapers off to silence] [End]
