Desire
[Intro] [Sound: A filtered, "underwater" kick drum begins. A rhythmic, metallic shaker joins in—sh-sh-sh-sh. A deep, analog sub-bass starts a 2-note groove. The "It, it, it" vocal sample fades in, heavily chopped and panned.] [Vocal: Stutter-chop] It-it-it... it-it-it... (Mmm) It-it-it... it-it-it... (My desire) [Sound: The filter opens up—the drums become crisp and sharp. A bright piano chord stabs on the off-beat.] [Chorus 1] [Beat: Full House groove. Driving kick, snappy clap on 2 and 4. A syncopated "cowbell" hits every 8 bars.] It, it, it, it, it, it, it's my— It, it, it, it, it, it, it's my— It, it, it, it, it, it, it's my— It, it, it, it, it, it, it's my desire. [Vocal: Smooth, soulful delivery] It's my desire (Mmm) It's my desire (Mmm) [Sound: A soulful synth-lead melody mirrors the vocal line.] [Verse 1] [Beat: The piano stabs continue, but the bassline becomes more melodic and "walky."] The other day we talked all night on the phone I learned so many things that I never known You don't have to worry 'bout what you say to me Keep it to yourself, so secretly How can you say, "Such coincidence"? And you would never say exactly what you meant But I'm glad you know you would agree with me It's my desire, I want you to see, yeah. [Pre-Chorus] [Sound: The kick drum drops out. Just the shakers and a rising "white noise" snare roll. The vocal "It, it, it" starts speeding up.] It, it, it... (Desire) It, it, it... (Babe) It, it, it... (It's my...) [Sound: A heavy crash cymbal hits—The Beat Drops Back In.] [Chorus 2] [Beat: Peak energy. Layered percussion—congas and tamborines added to the House beat.] It's my desire (Ooh, my desire, babe) It's my desire (It's all I want) It's my desire (Mmm) It, it, it's my— (Oh, oh, oh) It, it, it's my— (Mmm) It, it, it's my— (Mmm) [Verse 2: The Extension] [Beat: The groove stays steady, but a deep, "acid" synth bassline starts to growl underneath.] Now the sun is down and the moon is high I see the truth reflecting in your eye No more talking, no more "phone-call" dreams Everything is exactly what it seems I’m glad you know, I’m glad you finally see That this desire... it’s a part of me. (Yeah, it’s a part of me!) [Bridge: The Dub Section] [Sound: The vocals are heavily processed with "dub delay"—words like "Desire" and "Secretly" echo into the distance. The drums are stripped back to just the kick and the sub-bass.] (Desire... ire... ire...) (Secretly... etly... etly...) [Vocal: Scat-singing / Ad-libs] Mmm, mmm... yeah. It’s my— (It's my) It’s my— (It's my) It’s my— (My desire!) [Chorus 3 / Outro] [Sound: The piano stabs return with a "House Diva" style organ layer. The energy is at 100%.] It's my desire (It's my desire!) It's my desire (Oh, babe!) It, it, it's my— (Mmm, mmm) It, it, it's my— (Mmm) [Sound: The drums slowly peel away, leaving only the "It-it-it" chop and the shaker.] (Mmm, mmm) (Mmm) (It's my desire...) [Sound: Final digital "click" and a long reverb tail.]
