Raindrop Conversations

{rain on windowpane ambience,

soft

vinyl crackle, gentle felt piano

arpeggios, distant low synth pads,

clarinet starts, slow-tempo, key of C minor}

Streaks of gray run down the pane

Tracing circles in the dust

Everything we built out in the rain

Now is turning back to rust

{tender whispered

male vocal, close-mic'd, hesitant phrasing} And the room is far too still

Just the hum

of the avenue below

If I could, you know I will

Let the quiet

wash away the cold (ohhh) {gently building,

muted trumpet counter-melody, soft sub-bass swell} Leaves are swirling in the street

Tail-lights bleed a blurry red

I can hear the rhythm of your feet

Walking paths inside my head

{intimate

vocal, sparse instrumentation, piano chords sustaining}

Just the quiet... (shhh) {clarinet takes over,

slow fade, rain sfx increases,

vinyl hiss to silence}
