Emotional edm for the one who believed in you.
O piosence
This letter was written by a man who came up to Northgate from the south and joined the town choir, though he could not carry a tune. They put him in the back row, the last bass, next to the first alto. Every Thursday, each time he sang a wrong note, she sang a little louder, so nobody heard it.
Więcej o piosence
Night 6 of the second winter. The choir hall is lit on Thursdays and I stand outside the tall windows. Last night, halfway through the concert, one voice stopped and the voice beside it went on alone. I measured it. It was in tune.
Play it for the person who sang a little louder so you could keep up, at a new school, a new job or in a new city. Tell us your city in the comments, and Lampwright will see your light.
Tekst piosenki
Intro
Zwrotka 1
From the south, new to the snow,
I couldn't carry a tune,
the choir put me in the back row,
the last bass, next to you.
Pre-Chorus
Each time I sang it wrong,
your alto sang out louder,
and nobody ever knew:
Refren
You carried the tune, carried the tune
when I couldn't hit a note,
you carried the tu-u-une,
till I could carry it too.
Drop
(carried the tu-u-une)
Zwrotka 2
You pencilled little arrows
above my notes, up and down,
I hummed them down the lamplit road
all the way across town.
Pre-Chorus
All winter, every Thursday,
you sang louder next to me,
and nobody ever knew:
Refren
You carried the tune, carried the tune
when I couldn't hit a note,
you carried the tu-u-une,
till I could carry it too.
Mostek
Tonight, the concert hall was full,
you stopped singing, gave a nod,
I sang alone by your arrows,
and every note was right.
Build
Refren
You carried the tune, carried the tune
when I couldn't hit a note,
you carried the tu-u-une,
till I could carry it too.
Drop
(carry it too-o-o)
