[LONG INSTRUMENTAL INTRO - dark, slow, hypnotic] [whisper] Love does something. [LONG GROOVE] [spoken, low] Love is not a word. [pause] Not a promise. Not a slogan. [beat cut] Love moves. [BASS RETURNS] [EXTENDED INSTRUMENTAL - oud / ney / sax] [whisper] Love does something. [spoken fragments] It feeds. It listens. It stays awhile. It knows when to leave. [pause] It notices. [LONG TRIP-HOP BREAK] [spoken] Compassion is not an idea. [silence] It has hands. [DROP] [INSTRUMENTAL] Hands that carry. Hands that cook. Hands that build. Hands that reach. [whisper] Hands that let go. [DARK JAZZ BREAK] Love can be gentle. Love can be fierce. Love can say yes. Love can say [beat cut] No. [BASS DROP] [VERY LONG INSTRUMENTAL SECTION] [occasional whisper] Love does something. [spoken, intimate] You don’t have to save everyone. You don’t have to fix everyone. Sometimes love is staying. Sometimes love is leaving. Sometimes love is making room. Sometimes love is closing the door. [pause] And wishing them well anyway. [PERCUSSION BUILD] Love feeds. Love shelters. Love protects. Love tells the truth. Love makes room. [whisper] Love acts. [FULL GROOVE RETURNS] [spoken] If it never reaches your hands... [pause] your feet... your choices... your life... [silence] what exactly is it doing? [DROP] [LONG FINAL DANCE SECTION] [whisper fragments, widely spaced] Love moves. Love listens. Love chooses. Love acts. Love does something. [OUTRO - almost nothing left] Love is compassion in action. [long pause] So... [whisper] do something.
