Musical & Lyrical Notes for Your Concept: · Flow: The lyrics are written with a natural, conversational rhythm, The lines can be sung in a slightly syncopated way, playing with the beat, which is very characteristic of Neo-Soul, · Vocals: Think layered harmonies in the chorus and ad-libs, A soft, breathy delivery in the verses building to a more powerful, soulful cry in the chorus, · Jazz Influence: The chord progressions can use extended jazz chords (7ths, 9ths, 11ths) to give it that sophisticated, warm feel, male vocals

: "ENVY of You" (Intro) (A slow fade-in with a Fender Rhodes melody, a soft wah-wah guitar, and a simple, head-nodding drum beat.) (Verse 1) The way you move,it's a subtle conversation A silent language,beyond my explanation I watch you breathe,in the pale moonlight You wear your grace,oh so ever bright And I'm just captivated,hypnotized Lost in the depth of your mysterious eyes... (Pre-Chorus) And I try to play it cool,like I'm not affected But inside my soul,it feels connected and... infected... (Chorus) Cuz I getENVY of you A feeling so deep,tell me what I'm to do I can't get enough of you Your love is overdue And this ache is so true... My love is meant for you Yeah,my love is meant for you... (Verse 2) Do you even know the power that you hold? A simple glance and my whole world unfolds I envy the sun that kisses your skin The very air you breathe,that's living within Your gentle hum,your off-key melody Is a symphony that's overpowering me... (Pre-Chorus) And I try to play it cool,but the truth is naked My fragile heart,you got it sacred and... taken... (Chorus) And it's thatENVY of you This feeling so deep,tell me what I'm to do I can't get enough of you Your love is overdue And this ache is so true... My love is meant for you Oh,my love is meant for you... (Bridge) Is it wrong to want something so perfect? To feel so small,yet so direct? This green-eyed monster,it ain't about hate It's just my love,has a heavy weight... A beautiful burden,I can't shake loose This sacred envy,of your soul's use... (Instrumental Break) (A soulful saxophone or guitar solo takes over here. It's smooth, melodic, and full of feeling, riding the slow groove.) (Ad-Libs & Outro) So overdue...(My love) Meant for you...(Yeah, it's all for you) This envy...it's just 'cause you're so divine... All this love...I thought was mine... Is really yours... Has always been yours... ENVY...of you... (Fade out with the Rhodes and a lingering bass note) ---
