We Were Thunder in July [NDC TT]

Modern Broadway musical anthem, hybrid orchestral and contemporary production, grand piano foundation, sweeping strings, bold brass accents, deep percussion with cinematic toms and kick, subtle electric guitar layers, dynamic synth undercurrents, dramatic key changes, soaring Broadway ensemble chorus call & response, grounded grainy male lead vocal, warm and raw with spoken-sung phrasing, intimate yet powerful, dry and close in mix, finale lift with full cast harmonies and modern stage energy

[Verse 1]
June came runnin barefoot up the stairs (forgot her underwear)
melted ice on skin, sunlight in our hair (mosquito affair!)
windows wide, the city in our lungs (pumpkin spice!)
sweet tea on the sill, August on our tongues (leaf pile!)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
but under sun I can’t see breath (higher bills!)
promises run long on light (ain’t right!)
the evenings stretched then tightened in
to longer night (no light!)

[Chorus 1]
we were thunder in July, barefoot, bold (barefoot and cold!)
turnin marble floors to gold
sing it high, sing it loud, let it all...
summer taught my heart to fly (to fly high!)
autumn taught me how to fall (leaf pile!, leaf pile!, leaf pile!)

[Verse 2]
buskers packed their cases right on cue (pumpkin spice, fifteen bucks!)
kites came down, the sky a deeper blue (rainy revolution!)
peaches turning softer into jam (pumpkin spice!)
sweaters on the chairs, our leaf-pile escape (leaf pile!)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
the daylight shrank to careful sips (school haul)
the lighthouse in your eyes went small (no call!)
we split the last of summer chips
and read the call (rainy revolution!)

[Chorus 2]
we were thunder in July, barefoot, bold (forgotten mold!)
turnin marble floors to gold
 (sing it high) sing it loud, let it all...
summer taught my heart to fly (to fly high!)
autumn taught me how to fall (leaf pile!, leaf, leaf pile!)

[Bridge]
don’t freeze the film, let the reel play on (VHS!)
seasons turn, turn, turn the song (spice is never wrong!)
carry light when the Wi-Fi’s gone (Wi-Fi! reboot the router)

[Final Chorus]
we were thunder in July, barefoot, bright (pumpkin-lit night!)
turnin empty halls to blazing gold
raise it high, raise it loud, hear us all
summer crowned my heart in fire (in cider, in cider!)
summer showed me how to rise through the fall (pumpkin spice, leaf pile!)
HOW TO FLY! HOW TO FRY! HOW TO FALL!
this is not the end, it’s the start of it all (the start of the pumpkin stall!)

[Outro]
summer loved me to the edge of light (edge of Wi-Fi)
fall will teach me how to walk the night (rainy revolution)
not an ending, just a curtain call
take a bow… (pumpkin spice…) 
leaf pile… (rainy revolution…) and fall…
(rainy revolution…) and fall…

The Lead sings a sincere Broadway-style anthem about the intensity of summer love and the inevitable crash into autumn. The Choir, however, interrupts with absurd everyday outbursts — pumpkin spice (latte), Wi-Fi, hoodies, and leaf piles — turning trivial fall clichés into epic drama. Together, they create a playful contrast between the grand and the banal: love as thunder in July, life as a pumpkin stall in October. --- [Verse 1] June came runnin barefoot up the stairs (forgot her underwear) melted ice on skin, sunlight in our hair (mosquito affair!) windows wide, the city in our lungs (pumpkin spice!) sweet tea on the sill, August on our tongues (leaf pile!)
