[Intro – instrumental, 8 bars, no vocal] [Verse 1] The lights fall soft across the room A velvet hush before the tune The drummer breathes, the bassline walks The silence leans to hear it talk I take my place, I feel the air A quiet promise everywhere The moment waits on what I say Then swings alive without delay [Chorus] When the band comes in, the night begins to rise Every note draws fire behind your eyes In the glow of sound where the rhythm stands It all comes alive with the Out Of The Blue Big Band There’s a spark that moves through every line Turning every second into time From the first downbeat to the final stand It all finds its voice with the Out Of The Blue Big Band [Verse 2] The brass unfolds in golden streams The saxes colour midnight dreams The chords fall warm beneath my tone A deeper truth I’ve always known The groove holds tight, it pulls me through Each phrase feels born again, brand new No need to chase what’s already there The music answers every prayer [Chorus] When the band comes in, the night begins to rise Every note draws fire behind your eyes In the glow of sound where the rhythm stands It all comes alive with the Out Of The Blue Big Band There’s a spark that moves through every line Turning every second into time From the first downbeat to the final stand It all finds its voice with the Out Of The Blue Big Band [Instrumental Break – Solos] (Baritone sax solo – deep, resonant, low register, prominent) (Tenor sax solo – warm, flowing, mid-register) (Trumpet solo – bright, soaring, lyrical) (Trombone solo – smooth, expressive slides) (Piano solo – short, rhythmic, swinging) (Guitar solo – short, clean, melodic) [Final Chorus] When the band comes in, the night begins to rise Every note draws fire behind your eyes In the pulse of sound where the rhythm stands It all comes alive with the Out Of The Blue Big Band Every dream takes shape in a single line Every breath finds space in perfect time From the first embrace to the final stand It all shines anew with the Out Of The Blue Big Band
