Espresso Lounge Groove

{vintage Fender Rhodes

intro, rich

jazz chords, vinyl crackle,

warm upright bass

slides} Rain outside is slicking down the street

We find shelter in this warm retreat

Scent of dark espresso in the air

Old leather and a quiet corner chair (hmmm-mm)

{soft intimate

male vocals} Let the world spin fast outside

In this golden glow we hide

Just the chime of keys and time slowing down

Far away from the noise of the town (yeah)

{soaring warm jazz vocals} Time is dripping slow like candlelight

No need to trace the shadows of the night

Rich dissonance that lingers in the room

A soft reprieve from all the heavy gloom

{intimate spoken-sung hybrid vocal} {expressive Rhodes electric piano solo,

melodic

and

jazzy, subtle bass fills,

brushed

snare} Let the world spin fast outside

In this golden glow we hide

Just the chime of keys and time slowing down

Far away from the noise of the town

(far away) {climax with full vocal harmonies}

Just the rain... And the keys...

(hmmm-mm) {Rhodes chords fading

out, vinyl crackle and

rain sounds

linger, slow ritardando}
