[Intro] [Slow blues guitar, mournful and sparse] [Verse 1] The harvest failed again this year The well runs shallow, winter's near We count what's left and speak in low Of things we hope but dare not know I hold your hand across the dark And trace your breathing like a prayer The candle's almost gone tonight But something's coming — I can feel it there [Pre-Chorus] [Blues vocal, close and raw] Hold on Just hold on a little longer Something's turning in the deep Hold on [Chorus] [Balkan brass and fiddle erupt] Through the famine and the cold Through the stories left untold Something's breaking through the ground Listen — can you hear the sound Of a life about to start Of a whole new beating heart Everything we feared and bore Was the path to something more [Verse 2] [Blues guitar returns beneath Balkan rhythm] The morning came with fire and rain You cried out once and then again And suddenly the room was full Of something neither of us knew I counted fingers, counted toes Looked at you and lord it shows This small impossible thing we made Has ended every debt we've paid [Pre-Chorus] [Vocal raw and breaking] Hold on We made it through the darkness Something's here that wasn't there Hold on [Chorus] [Full Balkan brass, celebratory] Through the famine and the cold Through the stories left untold Something's breaking through the ground Listen — can you hear the sound Of a life about to start Of a whole new beating heart Everything we feared and bore Was the path to something more [Extended Instrumental] [Delta Blues and Balkan Folk interweaving] [Extended Instrumental] [Groove metal breakdown into punk chaos] [Verse 3] [Punk energy, fast and raw] Okay so nobody told me That a child is basically a gnome Stubborn, loud and highly opinionated About everything in our home Won't eat the green things Won't sleep when asked Won't explain the crayon art On my good shirt But laughs like a fire And runs like a storm And somehow I'd die for this Little disaster I call mine [Pre-Chorus] [Full punk shout] Hold on Just hold on — here we go again Something's about to get broken Hold on! [Chorus] [Maximum punk chaos] Through the tantrums and the noise Through the inexplicable toys Something's stomping through the house Loud enough to wake the mouse Of a life in full cartoon Bath time crisis, bedtime ruin Everything we thought we knew Has been rearranged by you [Bridge] [Half tempo groove metal, unexpectedly tender] You're arguing with the TV screen right now Like it can hear you And I've never loved you more How did something this chaotic Come from something this afraid How did something this magnificent Come out of those dark days [Final Chorus] [Groove metal and punk together, full force] Through the famine and the cold Through the stories left untold Through the tantrums and the noise Through the inexplicable toys Something's here that changed it all Something small that makes us tall Everything we feared and bore Was the path to something more To you To you [Outro] [Groove metal fades to single guitar note — silence] Worth it [End] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A four-square Bingo mix that follows one family across two very different eras of life. Part One (Delta Blues × Dark Ages / Balkan Folk × Transformation) tells of hard times — failed harvests, a shallow well, a long dark winter — and the transformative arrival of a child that changes everything. Part Two (Groove Metal × Gnomes / Punkrock × Awkward Fathers) picks up with the same child now a small force of nature: opinionated, chaotic, impossible and entirely magnificent. Two musical worlds separated by a long instrumental passage, held together by one continuous story. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bingo Board — 2026 [A1] GoGo × Shame [B1] Klezmer × Thirst [C1] Mongolian Throat Singing × Entropy [D1] Instrumental Only × Aerobics [E1] Native American Flute × Democracy [F1] Hopera × Mushroom / Fungi [A2] Rap × Nature [B2] Delta Blues × Dark Ages [C2] Grand Country × Uplifting [D2] Motown × Awakening [E2] Surf Rock × Surrealism [F2] Accordion × Train Hopping [A3] Chap Hop × Muscle Flex [B3] Witch House × Shed Your Burden [C3] Ska × Conflict [D3] Cyberpunk × Transmittable [E3] Groove Metal × Gnomes [F3] Wonky × Ice Cream [A4] Yacht Rock × Love [B4] Screamo × Bubblegum [C4] Fado Phonk × Africa Language [D4] Electronic Dance × 42 [E4] R&B Funk × Banana Split [F4] Skweee × Dating [A5] Lo-fi Indie Pop × Cheating Death [B5] Krautgaze Drone Rock × Heartbreak [C5] Balkan Folk × Transformation [D5] NeoFolk × Hardship [E5] Classical Music × Bird [F5] Alternative Rock × Courage [A6] Harpsichord Symphonic Metal × Faith [B6] Vocal Only / Acapella × Hope [C6] Ballad × Seduction [D6] Psychedelic Newgrass × Philosophy [E6] Yodeling × High Fantasy [F6] Punkrock × Awkward Fathers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ © 2026 Ande Records Lyrics by Ande All rights reserved. https://ande-records.se/
