Snake in the Grass

V6

[Intro: a polite string quartet, a pretty, lilting melody like music at a garden party, one low, dark cello note held underneath] [Build: pizzicato strings creeping in careful steps, soft rattling hi-hats, the low cello circling closer] [Break: sudden silence, one violin note sliding down] [Drop: slow, heavy half-time beat and deep sliding 808 bass, the pretty melody turning sly and chromatic, unhurried] [Drop: the same slinking groove, the violin sliding between notes, the cello coiling underneath] [Breakdown: drums out, the polite string quartet melody alone again, innocent, as if nothing happened] [Break: one sharp string stab and a heavy bass hit, then silence] [Final Drop: the full beat strikes back, heavier, the sly melody at its fullest] [Outro: the melody settles back to pretty and polite, one last low 808 note slides away] [End]
