The Honest Version - 01 - Say It Like You Mean It

[Intro] [muffled low-passed four-on-the-floor kick, muted offbeat sawtooth bassline, filtered gliding synth lead, single sustained piano chords] [Verse] [soulful close-mic male tenor, somber solo piano, soft warm pad swell, low-passed kick pulse, brushed hat ticks] Telling me the words I've heard too often Giving me the promises you don't keep Say it like you mean it Say it like you mean it [Build] [rising white-noise riser, snare-roll build, low-passed kick opening brighter, stuttering pitched vocal chops] Say it like you mean it [Chorus] [full-spectrum pounding kick, bouncy offbeat sawtooth bassline, distorted punk guitar stabs, pitched rhythmic vocal chops, full-voiced euphoric tenor, gliding filtered lead] Say it like you mean it Say it like you mean it Say it like you mean it (say-say-say it) [Drop] [full-spectrum pounding kick, bouncy offbeat sawtooth bassline, distorted punk guitar stabs, pitched vocal chops as lead, gliding filtered lead, heavy sidechain pump] [Breakdown] [Spoken Word, intimate close-mic male delivery, somber solo piano, long reverb tails, sustained warm pad] People say sorry like it's nothing. Just a word. I do it too. [Build] [rising white-noise riser, snare-roll build, low-passed kick brightening, stuttering pitched vocal chops, piano chords hammering eighth notes] Say it like you mean it [Chorus] [full-spectrum pounding kick, bouncy offbeat sawtooth bassline, distorted punk guitar stabs, pitched rhythmic vocal chops, full-voiced euphoric tenor, gliding filtered lead] Say it like you mean it Say it like you mean it Say it like you mean it (say-say-say it) [Drop] [full-spectrum pounding kick, bouncy offbeat sawtooth bassline, distorted punk guitar stabs, pitched vocal chops as lead, gliding filtered lead, heavy sidechain pump] [Outro] [bouncy offbeat sawtooth bassline, four-on-the-floor kick, pitched vocal chops fading into long delay tails, returning solo piano chords] (say-say-say it) Say it like you mean it
