The Lake Isle of Innisfree

[Intro – whispered trio unison | pad + soft fiddle] "I will arise and go now… Innisfree…" "I will arise and go now… Innisfree…" [Verse 1 – Cindy lead | Emma & Nia soft harmony echo | acoustic + fiddle stabs] "I will arise and go now, and build a cabin small, Nine bean-rows in the clearing, by the water’s call. And live alone in silence, where the honeybee sings, Peace will come upon me, in the hush the twilight brings." [Chorus – Full trio | hi-hat groove builds | harmony spread] [Cindy lead] "Peace comes dropping slow…" [Emma harmony] "Peace comes dropping slow…" [Nia harmony] "Peace comes dropping slow…" (All together, layered) "Peace comes dropping slow…" [Verse 2 – Emma lead | Cindy & Nia fragment echoes | acoustic strum + light pad] "Nine bean-rows, a hive for the honeybee, Alone within the bee-loud glade, wild and free. Morning’s veil upon the grass, silver light, I will find my spirit, in the falling night." (Echo fragments: "Honeybee… bee-loud… glade…") [Chorus – Trio | stronger fiddle presence] (Cindy) "Peace comes dropping slow…" (Emma) "Peace comes dropping slow…" (Nia) "Peace comes dropping slow…" (All) "Peace comes dropping slow…" [Bridge – Nia spoken lead, trio whispers behind | percussion drops out, airy pad] (Nia spoken) "I hear lake water lapping, lapping low against the shore…" (Whispers Cindy & Emma: "lapping… low sounds… the shore…") (Nia) "I hear it in the deep heart’s core…" (Whispers: "heart’s core… heart’s core…") [Final Chorus – Trio layered, canon feel | full arrangement, light trance beat] (Cindy) "Peace comes dropping slow…" (Emma, overlapping) "Peace comes dropping slow…" (Nia, delayed echo) "Peace comes dropping slow…" (All together, repeat with layering, fade out) "Peace comes dropping slow… dropping slow…" [Outro – whispered trio | instruments dissolve] "I will arise and go now… Innisfree…" "I will arise and go now… Innisfree…"
