GHOST 48HRS REMIX - You Don't Get To Bury Me (carlyD# Remix)
[INTRO | 132 BPM | 4 Seconds of EXPOSED REAL BLACKBIRD SONG | No Music] [LOUD, CLEAR NATURAL BLACKBIRD WHISTLING. Multiple distinct melodic bird calls, close and prominent. No instruments or vocals. Garden ambience.] [Crooked Honky-Tonk Piano Enters | Blackbird Continues Singing] [Playful sinister piano riff. Blackbird whistles prominently between piano notes. Garden gate creaks. Metallic shovel scrapes gravel.] [Female Spoken | Dry British Sarcasm] Well... That's another year of my life I'll never get back. [Blackbird Whistles | Shovel Strikes Earth | Bouncy 2-Step Beat Drops] Lovely weather for an exhumation. [VERSE 1 | Bouncy Dark UKG | Skippy 2-Step | Pizzicato Bass | Mischievous Female Singing] I buried my confidence under the roses My dignity's behind the shed My dreams are beneath the peonies And my patience is thoroughly dead My backbone went missing one Monday My standards were last seen in May I planted a whole bloody future And watched you fucking piss it away I dug through the years of excuses Found promises rotten with rain You never once lifted a finger But somehow kept digging at mey [PRE-CHORUS | Bass Pulls Back | Fragile Female Vocal | Piano and Shuffled Percussion] Why am I still crying? Why do I still bloody care? I'm falling apart into pieces And you were never sodding there [CHORUS | Explosive UKG Bass Drop | Punchy 2-Step | Theatrical Brass | Raw Female Belt] Oh well, oh well I'll start again Oh well, oh well I'm not done yet You can't even spell happy How could you ever make me happy? I won't hand you the shovel You don't get to bury me under [POST-CHORUS | Bass Cuts | Blackbird Whistles Clearly | Crooked Clarinet Answers] [Female Spoken | Completely Deadpan] Although, judging by the flowerbeds... You've never been much good with a tool. [Blackbird Gives a Short Melodic Whistle | UKG Beat Returns] [VERSE 2 | Playful UKG Swing | Rubber Bass | Honky-Tonk Piano | Cheeky Female Vocal] I found my self-respect by the compost Still wearing that dress you despised My common sense grew through the gravel Looking terribly pleased to be alive Your apologies made lovely fertiliser Your excuses attracted the flies I dug you a plot with a beautiful view Then remembered I'd wasted enough soil on you There's a patch where I planted my patience Not a single thing grows there at all And my neighbour keeps asking what's buried I say, "Nothing worth mentioning, Paul." [PRE-CHORUS | Beat Softens | Vulnerable Female Singing | Piano and Sub-Bass] Why am I still crying? Why do I still bloody care? I'm falling apart into pieces And you were never sodding there [CHORUS | Huge UKG Drop | Syncopated Bass | Brass Stabs | Powerful Female Belt] Oh well, oh well I'll start again Oh well, oh well I'm not done yet You can't even spell happy How could you ever make me happy? I won't hand you the shovel You don't get to bury me under [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK | Twisted UKG Cabaret | 8 Bars] [Skippy garage drums, wobbling bass, honky-tonk piano, syncopated shovel strikes. Blackbird whistles a clear melodic phrase, answered by playful bass clarinet. Sudden one-beat silence.] [BRIDGE | Emotional Breakdown | Intimate Piano | Subdued 2-Step Pulse | Fragile Female Singing] Under the roots of the old apple tree I found a small piece of the girl I used to be She'd been waiting so long In the cold and the rain Still holding the dreams I'd forgotten to name Somebody tell me it gets better Somebody tell me I'm not wrong I'm so tired, I'm so tired But I'm holding on Holding on [BUILD | Piano Arpeggios | Rising Bass | Shuffled Snare | Blackbird Whistles Softly] So I brushed off the dirt And I carried her home Turns out all this time She'd been growing alone [FINAL CHORUS | Massive UKG Cabaret Drop | Driving 2-Step | Full Brass | Triumphant Raw Female Belt] Oh well, oh well I'll start again Oh well, oh well I'm not done yet You can't even spell happy How could you ever make me happy? I won't hand you the shovel You don't get to bury me under [FINAL CHORUS REPRISE | Bass Intensifies | Rhythmic Shovel Strikes | Fierce Female Singing] Oh well, oh well I'll start again Oh well, oh well I'm not done yet I won't hand you the shovel You don't get to bury me under You don't get to bury me under! [OUTRO | UKG Beat Drops Away | Crooked Piano | Blackbird Returns] [Female Singing | Exhausted but Peaceful] I'm still breathing I'm still here Oh well One more year... [Full Stop | Complete Silence] [Female Spoken | Dry British Deadpan] Besides... You'd only dig it wrong. [One Loud Metallic Shovel Strike] [2 Seconds Silence] [LOUD, CLEAR BLACKBIRD WHISTLES A CHEEKY LITTLE MELODY] [Garden Gate Creaks Shut] [END | Abrupt Silence]
