Show Up Anyway

Electro-grunge production: modern polished grit, club-ready wide stereo, tension-building pre-choruses, stripped bridge, huge final chorus; danceable driving beat; deep pulsing bass, punchy live drums with tight electronic percussion, low-tuned distorted palm-muted guitars, rising synth, banjo, dual electro fiddles trading stereo riffs and soaring harmonies; smoky close grounded female lead growing stronger and more open, with restrained verse answers and wide melodic chorus doubles

[Intro – quiet, close] Morning finds me Room still dark Some days courage Is just a start [Verse 1] No crowd cheering No flashing sign Nobody knows What it took this time Feet on the floor Face in the glass I’ve walked away from me before Not this time [Pre-Chorus] I know what I’m worth Even when I forget So I give myself One thing I can protect [Chorus] I show up anyway On the hard days too I don’t need perfect I just need true One more step One more try I can bend Without leaving myself behind Nobody has to see it Nobody has to stay I know who I answer to I show up anyway [Transition] [Bridge – strip everything back] Maybe strength Isn’t standing tall Maybe it’s getting back up After you fall Maybe worth Was never something to prove Maybe the hardest thing Was choosing me too [Final Build – heartbeat kick, rising synth, banjo/fiddle pulse] So tomorrow comes Let it I’ve been here before And this time I know what I’m getting up for [Final Chorus – full release] I show up anyway With every scar I made With every wrong turn Every price I paid I don’t need saving I don’t need a sign I just need to know I didn’t leave myself behind Let the whole world change Let everything rearrange When the lights go out And the noise fades away I’ll still be here I’ll still choose me I show up anyway [Outro – almost whispered] Morning finds me I’m already there.
