BONUS - I Play for Love (Blues)

[Intro – 4 bars | acoustic riff + soft B3 organ pad] mhm… yeah… love in light… [Verse 1 – intimate vocal / light brush drums] I said you had a pretty face, true And I meant every word to you We stood together by the ocean shore I gave my heart — couldn’t give you more I never lied, I never strayed Just watched our love drift away [Pre-Chorus – bass enters / rising pads] I know we broke in black and white But I still see our souls in light [Chorus – full groove + gospel “oohs” behind hook] I don’t play for games or fame I play for love — that’s my name You play for life and that’s all right But I play for love in light [riff repeats + soft “in light … oh love in light” ad-lib] [Verse 2 – pull back band / finger-picked guitar] You say I’m clever, maybe so But you’re the one who let me go No cards to hide, no lies to prove Just truth and time and a love for you And if you think I’ve moved along You’re half right — but not all wrong [Pre-Chorus – light electric fills / snare lift] I don’t need shade to feel all right I found my faith in the light [Chorus – bigger band / layered harmonies] I don’t play for games or fame I play for love — that’s my name You play for life and that’s all right But I play for love in light [short guitar fill + background “in light, in light…”] [Bridge – piano + vocal only / intimate spotlight] Love don’t live in shade or blame I let it go but not the flame You play for life and that’s all right But I play for love in light [Final Chorus – anthemic / choir harmonies + tambourine] I don’t play for games or fame I play for love — that’s my name You play for life and that’s all right But I play for love in light [tag repeat x3 – call & response “love in light / in light”] [Outro – instrumental riff return + fade] vocal ad-lib “in light… oh love in light…”
