Ba-da-ba-da... Good morning. Pow, pow, pow! [Verse 1] [bright nylon acoustic guitar with jangly Jazzmaster layers, mid-tempo bossa nova clave fused with tropicália congas, crisp collegiate harmonies over lo-fi warmth] The coffee's hot, the window's wide. I'm glad to have you on my side. The rain has stopped, the street is dry, There's not a cloud left in the sky. Open up the door, Step out on the floor. [Chorus] [full band drives in with upbeat samba rhythm, thick wall-of-sound four-part harmonies, percussive vocal pow pow pow interjections, Mellotron strings and subtle New Order synth pulse, dreamy jangle shimmer] Pow, pow, pow! Watch the blue turn into gold. Pow, pow, pow! Something new is taking hold. I don't need a reason, I don't need a rhyme, I just need to see you smiling one more time. Ba-da-ba-dop, stay right here, Make the empty disappear! [Verse 2] [bass and drums lock in tighter with xylophone accents and slide guitar, vocals playful and bouncy, staccato consonants pop against the groove, Foxtex four-track hiss and dusty dollar-bin warmth] The paper's on the bottom step. I've got a little extra pep. I used to worry, used to fret, About the things that haven't happened yet. But looking at your face, Everything's in place. [Chorus] [lush layered harmonies build with Chamberlin strings and indie surf reverb, full percussive vocal punches, driving rhythm section, soft rock warmth] Pow, pow, pow! Watch the blue turn into gold. Pow, pow, pow! Something new is taking hold. I don't need a reason, I don't need a rhyme, I just need to see you smiling one more time. Ba-da-ba-dop, stay right here, Make the shadows disappear! [Bridge] [stripped back to soft piano, close-mic'd four voices blending intimately, prominent analog tape saturation and gentle Mellotron boy's choir, dreamy shimmer] (Ooooh...) It's a simple thing to say, But I'm happy it's today. No more looking back at where we've been, Just let the morning in. [voices build in rapid ascending scale with tight harmonies and subtle tropicália percussion] Let it in, let it in, let it in! Pow! [Verse 3] [full joyous energy returns, triumphant four-part harmony wall with jangly Jazzmaster, bright horns optional, congas, xylophone and slide guitar, upbeat driving rhythm section] So take my hand and walk with me. There's so much more for us to see. The world is waking, loud and bright, And everything is gonna be alright. Give it all you got, Right here on the spot! [Outro] [pow pow pow chant under soaring lead with call-and-response, harmonies fade into warm tape saturation, Mellotron strings and dusty dollar-bin reverb tail] (Group:) Pow, pow, pow! (Good morning, sunshine!) (Group:) Pow, pow, pow! (It's a brand new day!) (Group:) Pow, pow, pow! (Don't let it slip away!) Ba-da-ba-dop, ba-da-da-da... [all voices together, one final tight punch with EMT plate reverb and soft New Order synth pulse] POW! [End]
