Slow-Burn Magic

[Spoken Intro] (male voice, casual, talking to the crowd — not singing) This next song was written by a good friend of mine. It's called Slow Burn Magic [Crowd] (audience murmur settling, anticipation) [Verse 1] [acoustic guitar enters with melodic lead lines] [kick drum enters on every beat] [snare drum enters on beats 2 and 4] Midnight radio, headlights low Two-lane rhythm, let the dashboard glow Got a silver smile and a worn-out dream Leather seats and a gasoline sheen You slide closer, don’t say a word Your laugh cuts through me, sharp and blurred Every mile pulls me deeper in Like a record spinning, needle thin [Pre-Chorus] [Harmonizing backup vocals] You don’t gotta tell me what you want I can feel it humming in your bones [Chorus] [acoustic guitar plays higher register arpeggios] [acoustic guitars continue rhythmic slapping pattern] You got that slow-burn magic on me Wrapped up tight, don’t set me free One look, now I’m outta control Keep that rhythm rocking my soul Yeah, you turn the night into flame Say my name, say my name [Verse 2] [acoustic guitar enters with melodic lead lines] [kick drum enters on every beat] [snare drum enters on beats 2 and 4] Neon signs in a rearview haze Summer air stuck in a lazy phase You talk in riddles, half-smile grin Like you already know how this ends Moonlight dancing off your skin Got me thinking I’m already in Every move feels smooth and planned Like a trick of fate I don’t understand [Pre-Chorus] [Harmonizing backup vocals] You wave your hand, the lights go low I don’t fight it, I just go [Chorus] [acoustic guitar plays higher register arpeggios] [acoustic guitars continue rhythmic slapping pattern] You got that slow-burn magic on me Wrapped up tight, don’t set me free One touch, now I’m losing control Keep that rhythm rocking my soul Yeah, you turn the dark into flame Say my name, say my name Ooo-hoo, it’s a strange kind of spell Ooo-hoo, and it’s working too well Round and round, I don’t wanna stop Let the groove run hot Guitar Break (clean, bluesy lead—easy bends, plenty of space) [Chorus] [acoustic guitar plays higher register arpeggios] [acoustic guitars continue rhythmic slapping pattern] You got that slow-burn magic on me Radio gold, smooth and easy All night, let the good times roll Keep that rhythm rocking my soul Yeah, the stars all fall in line When your world slips into mine [Harmonizing backup vocals] Just keep on rocking me slow Yeah, don’t let this feeling go
