Lights don't fade

V5.5

[VERSE] Midnight falling on my skin I feel the rush begin No destination, nowhere to go Just let the feeling take control [PRE-CHORUS] Pull me closer Lose the time We keep moving Through the night [CHORUS — HUSKY FEMALE / LAYERED] Take me where the lights don't fade Hold me in the waves we make Don't let go, don't let go I can feel it in my soul Lead: husky, intimate Layer 1: soft octave underneath Layer 2: whispered doubles on “don't let go” Wide reverb + ping-pong delay on final words VOCAL CHOPS — GLITCHED Take me… me… me… Don't let go… go… go… Lights… lights… Fade… fade… fade… [Use the chops rhythmically between synth stabs and during the build. Gradually increase glitching, pitch variation and delay before the drop.] BREAKDOWN Return to the opening melody with soft pads, filtered synths and atmospheric vocal fragments. Strip back the drums and bass. Slowly rebuild with rising synths, vocal echoes and increasing tension. FINAL CHORUS — BIGGER LAYERS Take me where the lights don't fade Hold me in the waves we make Don't let go, don't let go I can feel it… feel it… feel it… [Add full harmonies, octave layers, wider vocal doubles, stronger synth stabs, deeper bass and bigger atmospheric leads.] ENDING / DROP [Long delay throw → reverb tail → vocal glitch → brief silence → powerful melodic drop]
