As Below As Above
[Chorus - Instant Start] [Explosive Balkan/Romani drop, immediate fast 7/8 rhythm, virtuoso clarinet, group vocal harmonies] [Lead & Band - Maximum energy, sung together] As below, as above! As below, as above! What you send comes back to you, What you keep turns into love! (Opa, Romale, opa!) As below, as above! As below, as above! Caught inside this endless loop, And I cannot get enough! [Interlude - Musician Dialogue] [Beat drops to loose nylon guitar strumming, wooden chair sliding, guitar tuning] [Musician 1 - Spoken, warm Romani voice]: "Te Aven Bahtale! Clarinet, accordion... are we in tune?" [Musician 2]: "Ready brother, count us back into that 7/8 rhythm!" [Nylon guitar tremolo starts fast, accordion enters with a slide] [Verse 1] [Walking upright bass, syncopated congas, nylon guitar strumming] [Lead Vocal - Warm melodic folk delivery] You write it in the dust, I read it in the rain. What falls down from your hand, Climbs back into my vein! Little signs upon the sink, Little marks upon the wall, Every crack upon the floor, Says that I have felt it all! [Pre-Chorus] [Hand percussion builds up, snapping fingers, rising accordion] [Lead Vocal - Rising melodic tension, rhythmic singing] If it starts up in the sky, It will land upon the square! What we try so hard to hide, Still hangs heavy in the air! [Chorus] [Full Ensemble Explosion - High energy, virtuoso clarinet, group singing] [Lead & Band] As below, as above! As below, as above! What you send comes back to you, What you keep turns into love! (Opa, Romale, opa!) As below, as above! As below, as above! Caught inside this endless loop, And I cannot get enough! [Interlude - Live Studio Jam & Musician Dialogue] [Accordion & Clarinet virtuoso call-and-response solo, foot tapping heavily on wooden floor] [Musician 1 - Shouting in background]: "Opa! Devla, devla! Play it faster, phrala!" [Musician 2 - Laughing while playing]: "My fingers are burning, brother!" [Musician 3 - Spoken]: "Don't stop, keep that 7/8 rolling!" [Fast handclaps, clarinet playing a high-speed flourish] [Verse 2] [Bass and rhythm drop to low key, intimate acoustic mood] [Lead Vocal - Soft, emotional singing style] Your name upon my tongue, Like a coin inside my palm. Old truths within the dark, Staying heavy, staying calm. I put out every flame, Yet it stays inside the smoke. What we never dare to say, Is the speech the night once spoke! [Pre-Chorus] [Hand percussion re-enters rapidly, building up tension] [Lead Vocal - Dynamic rising vocal] If it starts up in the sky, It will land upon the square! What we try so hard to hide, Still hangs heavy in the air! [Chorus] [Full Ensemble Peak Energy - Shouts, group harmonies, driving rhythm] [Lead & Band - Sung together with full power] As below, as above! As below, as above! What you send comes back to you, What you keep turns into love! (Opa, Romale, opa!) As below, as above! As below, as above! Caught inside this endless loop, And I cannot get enough! [Outro - Dialogue & Studio Wind-Down] [Tempo slows down organically, nylon guitar tremolo fades out] [Lead Vocal - Gentle fading melody]: As below... as above... Before the night is dead and gone. [Clarinet plays one last long, fading note] [Musician 1 - Spoken softly]: "Te Aven Bahtale, that was the one!" [Musician 2 - Spoken, laughing]: "Pour us another glass of wine, my hands need a break..." [Sound of glass clinking, wooden chairs moving, soft room laughter as instruments are set down] [End]
