Midnight Swamp (Night Sky)

+ Show full styles

[Verse 1: Transparent Sound] The city is wrapped in a heavy black veil, The streetlights are fading, so ghostly and pale. I’m losing the memory of stars up above, Of heights that I scaled and the things that I love. The darkness is sticky, like sand in the glass, It’s holding my shadow, it won't let me pass. I hear only rhythm, the tick of the heart, Where the end of the journey is just a new start. [Pre-Chorus: Dub effects, heavy echo on the saxophone] Falling... (falling...) The sky is calling... (calling...) [Chorus: Solid Roots Reggae groove, wide soundstage, every instrument clearly defined, Full Band] I am drowning in night, like a swamp pulling deep, Forgetting the heavens while the world is asleep. I’m searching for light, for a golden-bright string, To hear how the choir of the universe sings. Let the sax play its blues o'er the silent black sea, While I fight with the void just to set myself free. [Verse 2: Transparent Sound] Higher than towers and higher than trees, The silver is frozen in the midnight breeze. I’m breaking the chains of the dreams I have known, To find my own way and to find my own throne. The bass is my anchor, the beat is my guide, It keeps me from drifting away with the tide. Everything buried so deep in my soul, The saxophone breathes it and makes it all whole. [Bridge: Long, soulful saxophone solo, minimalist drum and bass backing - very "airy" and spacious] [Outro: Fading out with just the bass and a single guitar pluck] The sky above... Finding the light... I'm coming back.
