Keys to Our First Place

102 BPM modern 1990s orchestral pop-soul; laid-back swung drums, acoustic guitar, electric piano, warm bass, cello and a graceful violin hook, Modern cinematic orchestral pop with the warmth of a beautifully recorded live band in an empty hall, Strings and piano are central, elegant woodwinds and restrained brass, natural bass and drums, warm vintage keys, contemporary clear low end and crisp detailed mix, One male solo singer, smooth open tenor, Smooth controlled melodic singing, no shouting or hard belting, any doubles from the same singer only, Memorable tuneful chorus, distinct verse melody, dynamic instrumental interlude, natural complete ending around 3:30, No crowd or applause, ‑shouting, ‑screaming, ‑harsh belting, ‑distorted vocals, ‑gang vocals, ‑choir, ‑duet, ‑guest singers, ‑crowd noise, ‑audience chatter, ‑applause, ‑cheering, ‑whistles, ‑harsh synth leads, ‑heavy distortion, ‑child vocals, ‑female vocals

[Verse 1] The agent left us standing in the hall Two new keys and a scuff along the wall We sat on boxes eating from the carton Argued where the couch would look less awkward You drew a window in the steam And said this little place can hold a bigger dream [Pre-Chorus] No matching plates, no table yet But there's a beginning here I won't forget [Chorus] Keys to our first place Coffee in a borrowed cup Nothing on the walls yet But look at what we're building up Keys to our first place A little door we both come through Home is gonna take some making I'm glad I'm making it with you [Verse 2] We get the curtains slightly wrong One is short but both of them are hanging You learn the sounds the pipes can make I learn which drawer you keep rearranging The neighbors wave across the stairs We start to recognize the little life in here [Pre-Chorus] No matching plates, no table yet But there's a beginning here I won't forget [Chorus] Keys to our first place Coffee in a borrowed cup Nothing on the walls yet But look at what we're building up Keys to our first place A little door we both come through Home is gonna take some making I'm glad I'm making it with you [Bridge - intimate solo vocal, piano and strings] Some days the kitchen will get quiet Some plans will need another try Let's keep a room for being human Inside the life we want to get right [Instrumental interlude - orchestra and rhythm section, no vocals] [Final Chorus] Keys to our first place Coffee in a borrowed cup Nothing on the walls yet But look at what we're building up Keys to our first place A little door we both come through Home is gonna take some making I'm glad I'm making it with you [Outro] Two new keys Our own front door Something worth coming home for
