Amber On The Water

Slow, sorrowful reggae at 68 BPM, rooted in a minor key with a spacious one-drop groove, Muted offbeat guitar skanks and soft organ bubble sit over a round, deep bass line; rim-click snare, restrained kick, and lightly brushed hi-hats keep the pulse intimate, Close, plaintive vocals carry gentle tape echo and short spring reverb, with subtle harmonies and sparse dub delay creating a suspended, uneasy feel

[Verse 1] The sky just caught on fire Gold on the river bank Your hand in mine gets quiet Like it knows what words can’t say [Pre-Chorus] And the day lets go Slow and slow I watch your eyes Turn the same soft gold [Chorus] Beautiful, isn’t it? Beautiful, isn’t it? Stay right here with me While it disappears Beautiful, isn’t it? Beautiful, isn’t it? I don’t need much more Than you and this [Verse 2] A dog barks down the block Some windows turn to glass The last light paints your face Like it’s trying to last [Pre-Chorus] And the day lets go Slow and slow I hear your laugh In the evening glow [Chorus] Beautiful, isn’t it? Beautiful, isn’t it? Stay right here with me While it disappears Beautiful, isn’t it? Beautiful, isn’t it? I don’t need much more Than you and this [Bridge] If tomorrow comes hard Let it come and see Tonight is a small gold answer You leaning into me [Final Chorus] Beautiful, isn’t it? Beautiful, isn’t it? Stay right here with me While it disappears Beautiful, isn’t it? Beautiful, isn’t it? I don’t need much more Than you and this
