7. SATURDAY MARKET

TITLE: SATURDAY MARKET [Male Vocal – warm, conversational, close-mic] [Female Vocal – soft, natural, understated] [Intro – Fingerpicked acoustic guitar, distant market ambience, soft electric violin] [Ghost Vocoder] weekend... sunlight... different day... [Verse 1 – MALE] Saturday morning Different side of town Looking through old records Trying to lose an hour People moving slowly No rush to be anywhere Coffee carts and conversations Floating through the air I picked up an old album Turned it in my hands Then I heard somebody laughing A voice I didn't plan Turned around And there you were [Pre-Chorus] Funny how some faces Find their way into your life Without you even noticing Until they're standing right in front of you [Chorus – Warm Soul, Bright Weekend Energy] Didn't know the city was this small Didn't know our paths crossed everywhere Different streets Different plans Still somehow you're there Funny how the world feels bigger Until a moment like this Didn't know the city was this small Until today [Ambient Electric Violin Response] [Verse 2 – FEMALE] I almost didn't come Almost stayed at home But the weather felt too good To spend alone I was looking through the book stalls When I saw you by the records Looking exactly like you always do Thinking about something Miles away I smiled before I realized I was already walking over [Pre-Chorus – Female Lead] Funny how familiarity Starts showing up everywhere One day someone's a stranger Then suddenly they're there [Chorus – DUET] Didn't know the city was this small Didn't know our paths crossed everywhere Different streets Different plans Still somehow we're here Funny how the world feels bigger Until a moment like this Didn't know the city was this small Until today [Instrumental – Acoustic Guitar, Electric Violin] [Ambient Electric Violin Lead] [Light Percussion Groove] [Bridge – Beat Drops Away] [MALE] What are the chances? [FEMALE] I was thinking the same thing. [MALE] Didn't know you came here. [FEMALE] Didn't know you did either. [Long Pause] [DUET] Maybe the city's been introducing us For longer than we knew [Ghost Vocoder] longer than we knew... [Final Chorus – Full Warm Harmonies] Didn't know the city was this small Didn't know our paths crossed everywhere Different stories Different roads Meeting in the same air Funny how the smallest moments Can change the way things seem Didn't know the city was this small Or maybe We were always meant to meet [Outro – Acoustic Guitar, Ambient Electric Violin] [MALE] See you Monday? [FEMALE] Definitely. [Ghost Vocoder] different day... same smile... [Ambient Electric Violin Carries Final Melody] [Fade Out]
