[Intro - [soft pad swell, filtered, warm]] [closed hats enter, light and airy] Mmm... Ahhh... [single piano note repeats, drenched in delay] [kick drops at 16 bars, round and deep] [Build 1 - [the bed is laid]] [rolling bassline, smooth and melodic] [offbeat open hats, soft-edged] [strings enter underneath, minor and warm] [shaker layer adds motion] [16 bars] [Verse 1 - [first sung section, intimate]] There's a tape I keep on playing From a night I can't get back Just a voice and just a piano And the hiss between the tracks Someone played it on the radio Half past three, they never said Now that melody keeps turning Like a light inside my head [Pre-Chorus - [strings swell, tension rising]] And I feel it coming closer now I can't turn away [snare roll, 4 bars] [Chorus A - [the hook opens up]] Say my name into the night! Ahhh! Let it carry, let it fly! Ohhh! I am found, I am free — I am not afraid to fly! [lead melody solo, bright and singing - 16 bars] [Verse 2 - [second sung section, warmer]] Now we're driving past the harbour And the sky is turning gold Nobody's going home yet Nobody's feeling old I don't need to know the ending I don't need to understand I just need the sound to hold me And your hand inside my hand [Bridge A - [the great breakdown]] [drums vanish completely] [piano plays the melody alone, slow and echoing] [strings swell wide, suspended and unresolved] Mmm... Oooh... [sung line, soft and exposed] Say my name... Say my name... [vocal layers three deep, wordless, rising] [32 bars] [Build 2 - [the ascent]] [kick returns alone, one hit per bar, then two, then four] [hats rebuild across 8 bars] [arpeggios climb in ascending steps, filter opening] [strings hold, refusing to land] [snare roll enters at bar 10 and doubles - 16 bars] [Drop 1 - [release]] [lead melody in full voice, octave doubled] [bass and kick at full weight] [vocal hook rides above the leads] [vocal sample: "Fly!"] [Chorus B - [extended, full vocal]] Say my name into the night! Hold it high! I am found, I am free — I am not afraid to fly! Say my name! Ahhh! Yeahhh! [dual harmony lead with pitch-bend - 16 bars] [Bridge B - [second breakdown, weightless]] [everything filters out but pad and voice] [piano drifts, distant and slow] Oooh... Ahhh... Say my name... [24 bars, floating] [Final Build - [the last climb]] [kick and bass return together, heavy] [stacked arpeggios ascending relentlessly] [strings turn from minor into major] [snare roll accelerates into white noise - 16 bars] [Final Drop - [total release]] [main theme triple-layered, counter-melody beneath] [major key wide open, vocals at maximum] Ahhh ahhh ahhh! Say my name into the night! I am not afraid to fly! [16 bars, unrelenting] [Outro - [the voice fades out]] [percussion falls away, melody holds] [piano plays the theme one final time, alone] Mmm... Say my name... [pad sustains, filters slowly closed, into silence]
