Mendelssohn and Michael

[Intro – instrumental] (violins, cello, viola, faint tenor; no piano, distant neighborhood echo) Typing without sound… violins, a cello, a viola… a missing piano. A tenor calls out through the neighborhood. ⸻ [Verse 1 – Michael, quiet tenor, slow tempo] Two thousand twenty-five, September one, El Cerrito night. A driveway, a neighbor— God telling Maggie to write. Not by number, But through a hidden way… An email unblocked, Her memory pierces me today. ⸻ [Chorus A – soft symphony + fluttering strings, trance repetition] Songs of Mendelssohn, Young and bold, Love and heartbreak, Hope retold. A fluttering heart, The waiting ache, The letters unsent, The songs we make. (Repeat chorus once, layering strings + echo) ⸻ [Verse 2 – mezzo-forte, lyrical] Felix at thirteen, Quartets in A minor— Frage, the question, Still burning like fire. Michael at forty-four, Still listening for her voice, In every string, In every choice. ⸻ [Chorus B – alto + soprano, fragile, echoing voices in a shelter] Calling to me— As if God grants one more chance. From Denmark, A photo, a word, Her laughter still dances. Her sound, eternal. ⸻ [Verse 3 – tempo 120 bpm, Berlin house beat under strings] What are the chances, A concert one block away, Pulling me back To the love we gave? Maybe you wished To feel my hand, To hold my heart, To know my plan. But truth was spoken, Over a meal, Your voice a gift from God I never hear. ⸻ [Chorus C – soprano, Australian accent, piercing high note, techno build] And yet I cry— Not for the loss, But for the pause. Eyes closed, heart weeps, Anger, peace, Anxiety released. (Repeat chorus trance-style, add layered beats + echoes) ⸻ [Verse 4 – child-like tenor, angelic choir underneath] What I am, What I sing, Are voices of angels, The choir I bring. Love for God, Love for you, Signs in silence Carried through. ⸻ [Chorus D – full symphony + children’s choir, soaring] My voices, my writing, My prayers, my song— Never for you, For God all along. He never speaks, But still we sing, To heal the pain, To lift the weak. ⸻ [Bridge – duet: Michael (tenor) + Maggie (soprano, country tone), k-pop beat rising] Hold their hearts, As I long for yours. Comfort in silence, Dreams opened doors. In the dark, With others near, I find my place, I lose my fear. ⸻ [Final Chorus – symphony, choir, duet layered, trance build] Beginning new love, New voices rise, Tenderly meeting, No need for disguise. Without words, Our bodies know, Our hearts, our touch, Where only God goes. (Repeat chorus with trance looping, full layering until fade) ⸻ [Outro – strings dissolve into piano, child’s choir humming] There is nothing… except where we come from. Together, with God. Thank
