BURNING (IN YOUR NAME)

[Style: Threshold Uke Soul Tempo: 76 BPM Target Length: about 3:08 Delivery: soft, breathy, intimate, wounded, controlled] [0:00–0:16 | Intro — solo uke, vinyl crackle] I still remember… That little silence… Before the storm. Mmm… [0:16–0:46 | Verse 1 — sparse uke + Rhodes] Your shirt still hangs On my chair Don’t smell like you… But I leave it there Rain at 2:03 Tapping soft On the glass Sounded like the night You became my past [0:46–1:02 | Pre-Chorus — soft beat enters] I don’t call… But I want to I don’t sleep… Like I used to Your side’s cold But it still claims Every dream That says your name [1:02–1:34 | Chorus — pads and strings bloom] If I fall tonight Will you catch me slow? Or let me fade Where the cold winds blow? You lit the fire Then left the flame Now I’m still burning In your name [1:34–2:04 | Verse 2 — uke, Rhodes, subtle guitar swell] Tuesday night Cheap red wine Porchlight low Your hand in mine You said, “don’t change” Then you changed Left that promise In the rain I hear your keys In the hall Turn my head Then lose it all [2:04–2:20 | Pre-Chorus 2 — beat narrows] I don’t call… But I want to I don’t heal… Like I’m supposed to Your side’s gone But it still claims Every breath That says your name [2:20–2:52 | Chorus 2 — wider harmony lift] If I fall tonight Will you catch me slow? Or let me fade Where the cold winds blow? You lit the fire Then left the flame Now I’m still burning In your name [2:52–3:04 | Bridge — raw uke + bass] No signal left In my skin Just old echoes Moving in [3:04–3:12 | Outro — solo uke fade] Still burning… Still burning… In your name I still remember…
