[Intro - small room, soft distant felt piano] [Female - wordless, distant] Ooh Ahh-ahh Ooh-ahh [Interlude - cello enters softly, room ambience] [Verse 1] [Male - close-mic, emotional, leaning in] When was the last time You heard yourself think Without telling the silence What it had to mean? [Female - wordless, distant] Ahh-ahh Ooh [Interlude - piano figure slowly develops] [Verse 2] [Male - close-mic, leaning back] What if the answer isn't louder? [Cello answers] [Male - close-mic, leaning in] What if it doesn't arrive all at once? [Female - wordless] Ooh-ahh-ahh [Interlude - piano and cello, unhurried] [Verse 3] [Male - close-mic, emotional, almost whispered] What if you've been moving so quickly You keep passing the place Where you're supposed to become? [Interlude - piano left hand deepens, cello joins] [Crescendo] [Female - wordless, rising] Ahh Ahh-ahh Ooh-ohh Ahh-ahh-ahh [Breakdown - soft felt piano alone, barely there] [Male - close-mic, intimate] Be still [Silence] [Male - close-mic, intimate] And know [Female - wordless, far away] Ooh [Interlude - long atmospheric passage, cello and room] [Verse 4] [Male - close-mic, leaning in] What if quiet isn't empty? [Cello answers] [Male - close-mic, emotional] What if the space between thoughts Is where the noise loses its name? [Female - wordless] Ahh-ahh Ooh-ahh Ahh [Build-Up - cello rises, piano stays soft underneath] [Verse 5] [Male - close-mic, emotional, building] What have you believed Simply because You've thought it long enough? [Silence] [Male - close-mic, leaning in] And what could become new If you let your mind Become new too? [Female - wordless] Ooh Ahh-ahh-ahh Ooh-ohh [Interlude - piano and cello swell gently] [Chorus] [Male - close-mic, emotional, full voice] I don't need every answer I don't need to see what's next Quiet isn't empty Stillness isn't less [Crescendo] [Male - close-mic, emotional] There's a voice beneath the noise There's a truth beneath the rush [Silence] [Male - close-mic, intimate] Be still And know [Instrumental Break - cello solo over soft piano, no lyrics] [Female - wordless, soaring] Ahh-ahh-ahh Ooh-ohh-ohh Ahh-ahh Ooh-ahh-ahh [Instrumental Break - cello and wordless female trade the melody] [Outro Verse - intimate, music falls away] [Male - close-mic, almost whispered] Who might you become When every thought Doesn't get to tell you Who you are? [Interlude - instrumental afterglow, decrescendo] [Female - wordless, distant] Ooh Ahh [Outro - soft felt piano motif returns, small room] [Male - close-mic, morendo] Be still And know [End]
