Streetlight Symphony - Laureen Rills

[Intro] (Female) (A single violin note builds into a lush orchestral swell) (Female) (Vocalizing) Ah-ah-ah... (Female) Listen... the city is playing its own music tonight. (Female) Every light is a note in the score. [Verso 1] (Female) The pavement is a keyboard and the rain is the hand (Female) Playing a melody that only the lonely understand (Female) I’m standing in the center of a grand design (Female) Where the shadows and the highlights finally align (Female) There’s a cello in the wind and a flute in the trees (Female) Bringing all the memories down to their knees (Female) I’m a witness to the beauty of the urban decay (Female) Watching all the colors of the world fade away (Female) Into a monochrome masterpiece of silver and grey (Female) Waiting for the conductor to lead us astray. [Estribillo] (Female) It’s a streetlight symphony, playing in the dark (Female) Every flicker is a rhythm, every glow is a spark (Female) We’re the instruments of heaven, we’re the ghosts in the park (Female) Leaving our signature, leaving our mark (Female) Oh-oh, streetlight symphony, set my spirit free. [Verso 2] (Female) The architecture is humming a low, steady bass (Female) While the moonlight is drawing a mask on my face (Female) I’m lost in the arrangement of the traffic and the noise (Female) Finding the balance, finding the poise (Female) There’s a harmony in the way the sirens scream (Female) Cutting through the fabric of a digital dream (Female) I’m a solo performer in a stadium of one (Female) Waiting for the rising of the morning sun (Female) But for now, I’ll just listen to the music of the street (Female) Feeling the vibration underneath my feet. [Estribillo] (Female) It’s a streetlight symphony, playing in the dark (Female) Every flicker is a rhythm, every glow is a spark (Female) We’re the instruments of heaven, we’re the ghosts in the park (Female) Leaving our signature, leaving our mark (Female) Oh-oh, streetlight symphony, set my spirit free. [Puente] (Female) (Dramatic orchestral breakdown with heavy electronic percussion) (Female) (Vocalizing high, operatic notes) Ah-ah-ah-ah! (Female) Let the music swell, let the music rise (Female) Look at the reflection in the city’s eyes (Female) We are the song that the night never dies! [Estribillo] (Female) It’s a streetlight symphony, playing in the dark (Female) Every flicker is a rhythm, every glow is a spark (Female) We’re the instruments of heaven, we’re the ghosts in the park (Female) Leaving our signature, leaving our mark (Female) Oh-oh, streetlight symphony, set my spirit free.
