KEEP THE LIGHT ON NORVELLE — Album 3 [Intro – Warm Clean Electric Guitar Arpeggios, Gentle Bass Enters, Steady Live Drumbeat] [Verse 1 – Intimate, Conversational British Male Vocal] You rang me up at half past two Said there’s nothing much that I can do But I wondered if you’re still awake I’ve had about as much as I can take I was sitting with the telly low Watching programmes from ten years ago Said come round, the kettle’s on And don’t worry if you stay till dawn [Pre-Chorus – Bassline Rises, Guitars Begin to Build] You don’t have to tell me everything You don’t have to make it sound alright If the world’s a little heavy You can leave it here tonight [Chorus – Big Open Guitars, Soaring Melodic Lead, Warm Band Harmonies] I’ll keep the light on Till you find your way back home When the road gets longer And you feel like you’re alone You don’t need a reason You don’t have to be that strong If you’re looking for somewhere to land I’ll keep the light on [Post-Chorus – Bright Guitar Hook, Wordless Male Harmonies] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh I’ll keep the light on Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh [Verse 2 – More Driving Drums, Melodic Bass, Jangly Rhythm Guitar] We sat outside till nearly four With our backs against the kitchen door You told me things you’d never said Then laughed about the state we’re in And nothing really got resolved There’s still the same old problems tomorrow But you smiled before you left And I reckon that was something, yeah [Pre-Chorus – Building Harmonies] You don’t have to know which way to turn You don’t have to get it right first time If the world keeps moving faster You can always take your time [Chorus – Full Band, Layered Male Backing Vocals] I’ll keep the light on Till you find your way back home When the road gets longer And you feel like you’re alone You don’t need a reason You don’t have to be that strong If you’re looking for somewhere to land I’ll keep the light on [Instrumental – Expressive Melodic Electric Guitar Solo, Warm Overdrive, Driving Live Drums] [Bridge – Drums Drop Out, Gentle Guitar and Exposed Lead Vocal] And when we’re old and out of stories And the photographs have faded on the wall I hope we still remember Who was there when things went wrong [Pause – Single Guitar Chord] ’Cause you were there for me More times than you know [Build – Snare Rolls, Rising Bass, Layered Guitar Harmonies] So if you ever need me You know where to go! [Final Chorus – Explosive Full Band, Soaring Guitar Layers, Big Group Harmonies] I’ll keep the light on Till you find your way back home When the road gets longer And you feel like you’re alone You don’t need a reason You don’t have to be that strong If you’re looking for somewhere to land I’ll keep the light on [Extended Outro – Repeating Guitar Hook, Group Backing Vocals] (Keep the light on!) Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Keep the light on!) Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh [Lead Vocal – Softer] Yeah, I’ll keep the light on [Final Sustained Guitar Chord – Natural Band Ending]
