Castles in the slash

[Use chromatic synemmenon dorian mode with çıkıcı-İnici seyir for all harmonic elements. Bassline follows strictly by doubling lead instruments in perfect fourths.] [Male voice A: Estefano - male: sicilian actor: canto a distessa (sicilian maqam style) baritone with gamak and meend executed with gutturale siciliano based on canto di tradizione orale. Massive respiratory power, chest dominant, glottal closure, massive laryngeal support. Delivery: smooth legato, measured, clear diction. Huge guy with a huge voice. Sings fluently in all languages cited.] [Male voice B: Kirk - male: american author and journalist: country light lyric tenor with straight tone and country vibrato. Youthful, honest, eager and exuberant. Delivery: smooth legato, measured, clear diction, conversational delivery, like the guy next door, "average dude". Sings fluently in all languages cited.] [Full ensemble *including drums* joins immediately on beat 1] [Vorspiel starts with full intensity - 2 bars, full crescendo] [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 1] [Kirk] Is there anything better than to see Your dreams become reality? Is there any better way To make one happy Than have him meet Someone he respects? [Estefano] Not all dreams Are worth seeing in reality. In fact, many a dream Is nothing but empty fancy, Possibly a deception Or just the reaction To this very day's hardships Generated by the recovering brain? [Pre-chorus] [Kirk] It's not like on the posters, No it's not. * It's not!... It's not like on the big screen. No it's not. * It's not!... [Chorus, together] [Kirk and Estefano sing together in unison] * To know someone what does it mean? * To know the colour of his eyes, * What is the colour of his trunks * Or the exact amount of sugar * He graces his coffee with? [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 2] [Kirk] When all these roles come alive, It's like another reality opens up, Exactly time travel. Whether it be Greece Or ancient Rome Or another planet, It's the bloody jackpot. [Estefano] If these roles really do come alive, Does it mean someone had to strive To bring them to the screen Or does it mean it has no value As long as the image is pleasant And no one sees the ruddy hue Covering the cheeks? [Pre-chorus] [Estefano] It's not like on the posters, No it's not. * It's not!... It's not like on the big screen. No it's not. * It's not!... [Chorus, together] [Kirk and Estefano sing together in unison] * To know soemone how hard it is? * Does it take to buy him trunks, * Or a book might suffice, * Though, admittedly, must be a good one. * Will some more sugar * Spoil his morning coffee? [Instrumental bridge - Ghammaz section with taqsim - 2 bars] [Ghammaz Section - non-lexical vocalizations] * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... [Verse 3] [Kirk] I still want to see Dreams become reality. I don't fear the sting For there is none in fantasy. I fear nothing. [Estefano] Let me tell thee How these roles became reality And perhaps ye'll fear The sting of fantasy, As much as I fear The gaze of the rabble. [Pre-chorus] [Estefano] Will it be like on the posters? Will it be? * Will it be?... Will it be like on the big screen? Will it be? * Will it be?... [Kirk] It's gonna be like on the posters? It's gonna be!... * Definitely!... It's gonna be like on the big screen? It's gonna be!... * Definitely!... [Chorus, together] * To know thee, * I decided it's worth it. * I want to know thee, * The colour of thy trunks * And what they are: * All the silly little habits of thine. * However hard it is, * I will be knowing thee * And how much sugar exactly * You're allowing me * To put into thy coffee [start fade out, slow down] [Vorspiel - 2 bars, fadeout] [Outro] * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯...
