Memory in the Ink

Warm indie folk-pop ballad, Fingerpicked acoustic guitar, gentle banjo, warm analog synth pads, soft piano, brushed drums, mellow bass, subtle electronic textures, tasteful delays and ambient swells, Organic and intimate with a cinematic atmosphere, balancing dry humor and heartfelt melancholy, Builds gradually into an uplifting, emotionally rich chorus before fading into an instrumental outro

[Verse] The songwriter sat, upon his stool... Jottin' down, a tune... His son asked him, "what are you doin'?" He said, "Son, im thinkin' of you... And your mother... a writin' somethin'... that one day... you might... remember me to..." The boy chuckled... For he... didn't understand... The songwriter smiled... Never ceasin' his hand... [Instrumental interlude] [Pre-Chorus] The man understood... There's memory in the ink... Ghosts that live, only in lyric... That can give them life again... [Chorus] So sing a song! Every day... For those who've passed on... And for those... Passin' that way... Call back the images... The memories they ingrained... There are spirits in the music... That never... Never shall fade... [Instrumental interlude] [Verse] Years went by... As they tend to do... The boy forgot about that day... But the songwriter... never forgot... The look on his boys face... Knowin' that, one day... That song would be sang... It was a quiet Wednesday mornin'... When the songwriter... Passed away... His service was on Sunday... That day was the day... As the son opened his letter... The tears started to flow... As he silently read the headin'... Of his daddy's note... [Pre-outro] "You remember that day? Me sittin'... on my stool... this here is the song... that I wrote for all of you." The son smiled weakly... As he read the lyrics out... Then he lifted his eyes... Before singin'... His daddy's song... for the crowd... (He sang...) [Outro] You must understand... There's memory in the ink... Ghosts that live, only in lyric... That can give them life again... So sing a song! Every day... For those who've passed on... And for those... Passin' that way... Call back the images... The memories they ingrained... There are spirits in the music... That never... Never shall fade... [Instrumental solo leading to fade out] [End]
