[TITLE: IF IT MOVES MY HEART] [INTRO — 0:00–0:25] [Fingerpicked acoustic guitar, natural room ambience, close intimate vocal] I made a song last night. No one was in the room. Just an idea that wouldn't leave me alone. [VERSE 1 — 0:25–1:00] [Gentle acoustic guitar, warm bass enters subtly] I found a sound, I changed a note I followed where the feeling goes I tried a thousand different ways To give a little shape to what I couldn't say And when I played it back alone It felt like something of my own But someone asked me who had played And everything I made seemed to fade [CHORUS — 1:00–1:35] [Soft live drums, gentle harmony vocal, acoustic guitar opens up] If it moves my heart, does it matter where it starts? If it makes me stop and listen, if it reaches through the dark, Must I know the hands that made it? Must I know the life behind? If a song can make me feel something, is the feeling not mine? [VERSE 2 — 1:35–2:10] [Fingerpicked guitar, understated bass and brushed percussion] I know the hours musicians spend Learning how to make a sound transcend I know the years behind a song The things it takes to carry on I wouldn't take that work away Or say that all things are the same But there's a question I still hold That no one seems to want to know [CHORUS — 2:10–2:45] [Fuller acoustic strumming, restrained live drums, warm harmonies] If it moves my heart, does it matter where it starts? If it makes me stop and listen, if it reaches through the dark, Must I know the hands that made it? Must I know the life behind? If a song can make me feel something, is the feeling not mine? [BRIDGE — 2:45–3:20] [Drums fade away; only guitar and voice remain] Maybe you hear the person In every note they play. Maybe knowing someone's story Changes what the music says. I understand the difference. I can see the beauty there. But sometimes I just need the sound And the feeling that it bears. No face upon a screen. No name beneath a song. Just something that I felt inside Before I knew where I belonged. [FINAL CHORUS — 3:20–4:00] [Live drums return gently; layered harmonies build naturally] If it moves my heart, does it matter where it starts? If it gives a voice to something I have carried in the dark, I can honour every musician. I can hear the human side. But the moment that the music moves me Is a moment I can't hide. If a song can make me feel something, if it stays with me somehow, I don't need to know its maker To know what I'm feeling now. [OUTRO — 4:00–4:25] [Drums stop; solo fingerpicked guitar and one final sustained chord] Maybe music needs a maker. Maybe music needs a name. But the feeling that it leaves me... That was never yours to claim. [Soft guitar resonance fades into silence]
