Down In The Valley

[lead restrained, lower harmony creeping] I was on top of the summit The time I saw the sun My head above the clouds No longer in the fog [Both voices, drawn out] But noooow… [Pre-Chorus] [harmony-heavy, descending] I’m slidin’ down I’m falling down I’m tumbling [Chorus] [HARMONY STACK – blunt, heavy] Yeahhh I’m hitting the rocks (MMMMH) No no no Ooooo No no [instrumental break: slow, crying guitar lead, bass grinding underneath] [Verse 2] [harmony-forward, almost pleading] Broken and bruised Bleedin’ and dyin’ I got picked up I got picked up [Both, sustained] Oooo By you… (By you…) [Pre-Chorus 2] [Both voices, heavier than before] But noooow… I’m slidin’ down I’m falling down I’m tumbling [Chorus] [FULL HARMONY, darker interval] Yeahhh I’m hitting the rocks (MMMMH) No no no Ooooo No no [Bridge] [half-time drop, stripped and intimate] Down in the fog You patched me up You mend my wounds [lower harmony answers] Still broken (Still broken) [MAXIMUM HARMONY – weary but resolute] I used to be on top But now I’m down In the valley Nooo-nooo In the valley [final refrain, distant harmony] Down in the valley (Down in the valley) Down in the valley (Down in the valley) [instruction: let instruments fade unresolved, no final vocal hit]
