Running in My Sleep

V6-WILD

[Melodic Liquid Drum & Bass | 178 BPM | B Minor] [Sparse lyrics, extended instrumental drops. Airy, intimate low-register lead, smooth melodic phrases and stretched vowels floating across fast drums. Understated delivery, deeply processed vocal echoes.] [Intro | Immediate Hook | 8 Bars] [Close voice over blurred Bm9. Hollow glass tones, faint granular echoes. Let the final syllables hang.] Running in my sleep Right here beside you Running in my sleep Somewhere you can't see [Verse | 16 Bars] [Bm9–Gmaj7(#11)–Dmaj9/F#–Aadd9. Dry ghost snares, filtered breaks, deep intermittent sub. Connected singing with generous instrumental gaps.] My feet move on your sheets The room stays where it is A field unfolds beneath me Then folds away again [Build | 8 Bars] [Hold Gmaj7(#11), then Aadd9. Hats accelerate in short bursts; vocal tails reverse into the next phrase. Remove the bass. One beat of silence.] I go farther With my eyes closed Your breathing Coming through [Drop 1 | Extended Instrumental | 48 Bars] [Cool, fluid, nocturnal. Rolling DnB breaks with loose ghost notes, clipped kicks and a sharp dry snare. Deep sub beneath a narrow, softly distorted bass. Main motif: hollow glass struck against grainy digital choir, three unevenly spaced notes followed by silence. Keep the groove spacious and the low end heavy.] [Bars 1–8 | Full Groove + Vocal Hook] [Long vocal notes above restless drums. Synth answers only in the gaps.] Running in my sleep Right here beside you [Bars 9–24 | Instrumental] [Develop the three-note motif through octave displacement and chromatic ending notes. Metallic FM ticks answer from alternating sides. A low, formant-shifted vowel becomes a brief bass response every four bars. Tiny reverse swells pull into the snare.] [Bars 25–32 | Sub-and-Breaks Switch] [Strip away pads and the main motif. Exposed chopped breaks, deep sub, breath fragments and dry metallic clicks. Shift kick placement; leave sudden eighth-note gaps. A single glass note hangs above the groove.] [Bars 33–48 | Expanded Return] [Restore the motif one octave higher with smeared choir harmonics underneath. Bass adds syncopated passing notes. Alternate full rolling breaks with short stop-start edits. Last four bars dissolve into stretched vocal grain.] Eyes closed Still beside you [Breakdown | 12 Bars] [Drums vanish. Cmaj7(#11), suspended F#, distant glass resonance. Close, gently pitched whisper.] Your hand against my side A little weight of home The ground keeps moving You don't let go [Rebuild | 8 Bars] [Aadd9 returning to Bm9. Fragmented breaks reconnect. Vocal harmonies slowly widen; a low metallic drone rises. Final bar: exposed voice.] I go farther With my eyes closed I can feel you All the way through [Drop 2 | Extended Instrumental | 64 Bars] [Stranger, darker in texture, emotionally expansive. New bass rhythm and new synth phrase. Bm9–Gmaj7(#11)–Cmaj7(#11)–Aadd9. Keep a four-bar harmonic cycle while the lead repeats a three-bar phrase, shifting its accents against the drums.] [Bars 1–16 | Fractured Launch] [Hard, clean breaks; deep sustained sub. Signature lead becomes a low metallic FM whistle with breathy formant edges, abrupt pitch scoops and short gated tails. It trades phrases with a high granular vocal shard. Wide gaps make each response hit.] Running in my sleep Farther than my feet Could ever take me [Bars 17–32 | Instrumental Mutation] [Move the lead between low and high registers. Freeze its last note into a grainy cloud, then cut it dead. Bass answers with short distorted midrange bursts over steady sub. Shuffle hats around the snare; vary one drum fill every eight bars.] [Bars 33–40 | Half-Time Pocket] [Heavy half-time snare, sparse kicks, exposed sub. Stretch the vocal into a wavering digital choir. Let one dissonant glass interval ring, bend and collapse.] Right here I feel you [Bars 41–56 | Full-Speed Release] [Rolling breaks snap back instantly. Bring the first drop's glass motif beneath the second drop's metallic lead, alternating their entrances. Open luminous pads; retain dry foreground percussion. Vocal fragments become sustained upper harmonies.] [Bars 57–64 | Final Hook] [Full melodic lift, long vocal notes. Synth replies descend chromatically while the harmony returns to Bm9.] Running in my sleep Right here beside you Everywhere I go Your breathing comes through [Outro | 8 Bars] [Drums fall away in fragments. Glass resonance and Bm(add9) remain. Close vocal, quiet breathing, unresolved ninth.] Running in my sleep Right here Beside you
