[Instrumental] [Intro: Bright acoustic piano states a short dotted swing motif in F-sharp major, upright bass gives a soft walking pickup, celesta sparkles on the turnaround] [Verse: Clarinet takes the main hook with a triplet bounce, pizzicato strings mark the offbeats, brushed snare and soft ride cymbal keep a gentle shuffle] [Pre-Chorus: Piano comps syncopated swing chords, muted trumpet answers the clarinet with short two-note phrases, harmony briefly colors into D-sharp minor] [Chorus: Clarinet and accordion play the town motif together, walking bass becomes more active, piano repeats the dotted rhythm with warm woodwind harmony] [Bridge: Muted trumpet leads a small nocturnal variation, piano drops to lighter offbeat chords, celesta echoes the hook like distant shop bells] [Loop Point: Clarinet returns to the opening dotted motif, upright bass walks back to the F-sharp major turnaround, celesta gives one final sparkle before reset]
