[INTRO] [Warm analogue chords] [Filtered four-on-the-floor kick] [Soft vinyl texture] [Bright plucked synth] [303 quietly bubbling underneath] [Spoken vocal, smiling] I woke up this morning and the sky had changed its mind. [VERSE 1] There was a man on the corner wearing shoes made out of gold He said he’d lost his destination but he’d found somewhere to go There was a girl beside the bus stop with a flower in her hair She said, “You spend your whole life looking then forget to stop and stare” The traffic lights were blinking like they knew a secret joke And the old man with the newspaper was laughing at the smoke I walked down through the city with the sunlight on my face And for once the world wasn’t running like it had somewhere else to race [PRE-CHORUS] [Beat builds] [Open hi-hats] [303 resonance rising] Maybe we were waiting for a reason to begin Maybe all the doors were open we just never looked within [CHORUS] [Full EDM beat] [Bright synth hook] [Big melodic bass] [303 answering the vocal] Sunshine falling through the wires Sunshine setting little hearts on fire Everybody’s moving but nobody knows why So I’m dancing with the shadows in the middle of the light Sunshine shine it down on me Sunshine finally letting me breathe [POST-CHORUS] [Instrumental EDM groove] [303 playful squelch] [Bright arpeggiator] [Dub delay throws] [Filtered vocal chops] [Four-on-the-floor kick] SUN—SUN—SUNSHINE [VERSE 2] I met a preacher in a taxi who had flowers on his tie He said, “I’ve stopped predicting what tomorrow’s gonna bring” The driver turned the radio and played an old refrain Then everybody in the traffic started singing in the rain There was a boy beside the river throwing stones into the blue He said, “My dad told me the world was broken but I don’t think that’s true” He pointed at the water where the sunlight made it dance And said, “Maybe broken things just need another chance” [PRE-CHORUS] [Percussion builds] [Claps enter] [303 slides upward] Maybe we were waiting for somebody to explain Maybe all we ever needed was a little bit of rain [CHORUS] [Full beat returns] [Huge bright synths] [Warm backing vocals] Sunshine falling through the wires Sunshine setting little hearts on fire Everybody’s moving but nobody knows why So I’m dancing with the shadows in the middle of the light Sunshine shine it down on me Sunshine finally letting me breathe [BREAKDOWN] [Kick disappears] [Dub bass pulse] [Acoustic guitar fragments] [Warm pads] [Spoken vocal] And somewhere above the rooftops the machines began to sing. Not because somebody told them to. Not because they had to. Just because it was a beautiful day. [BUILD] [Heartbeat kick] [303 slowly opens] [Handclaps] [Rising synth] [Dub echoes] [White-noise lift] Three… Two… One… [DROP] [Massive upbeat EDM groove] [Four-on-the-floor] [Fat melodic bass] [Bright analogue synth lead] [303 squelch woven into the rhythm] [Dub percussion] [Chopped vocal] SUNSHINE! [INSTRUMENTAL] [303 and synth lead trade phrases] [Uplifting chord progression] [Groovy bassline] [Breakbeat fills] [Dub delay] [Playful electronic percussion] [FINAL CHORUS] [Biggest section] [Layered male vocals] [Bright harmonies] [Full drums and bass] Sunshine falling through the wires Sunshine setting little hearts on fire Everybody’s moving but nobody knows why So I’m dancing with the shadows in the middle of the light Sunshine shine it down on me Sunshine finally letting me breathe Sunshine after all this time Sunshine maybe everything’s alright [OUTRO] [Beat gradually strips back] [Warm chords] [Soft 303 melody] [Birds and distant city ambience] [Gentle dub echo] I woke up this morning and the sky had changed its mind. [Final 303 note] [Echo into silence]
