Hold Me

{gated reverb snare building,

analog

hats

entering,

no drums yet, lush reverb cathedral wash}

Shadows fall across the quiet room

I trace the lines that lead me back to you

(fading in)

{sparse kick

enters, 16th arp bass,

crystalline female vocal}

Something rising in the air tonight

Brass beginning to unfold

(reverse cymbal) {vibraphone motif,

brass swell, building tension} Hold me in the light that never fades

We are more than all the nights we lost

(oohs

layered) {full drop, prophet-5 lead,

gated strings, granular

pad, warm pad peak}

Echoes of the city in our veins

Still we move like water through the veins

(humming

low)

{16th arp bass, sub 808,

sparse kick, vocal intimacy} Hold me in the light that never fades

We are more than all the nights we lost

(yeah layered high)

{full arrangement again, prophet-5 soaring,

brass hits} All the colors start to blur and bend

Drums falling away

again (drum dropout) {brass swell dominant,

16th arp bass, sparse elements} Hold me in the light that never

fades

We are more than all the nights we lost

(soaring ad-libs)

{tape

stop transition build, full peak arrangement} (fading hums) {no drums,

analog hats

and gated snare tailing,

cathedral wash fade}
