This Fractured Lullaby

Intro

Verse

oceans sang in silver, forests gleamed with gold,

Dreams made in daylight, no story left untold.

We're born into lullabies, soft as morning light,

Loves like a lantern, burning bold and bright,

Chorus

Lull…lull…lullabay

Fractured lullaby (lullaby)

Lull…lull…lullabay

This Fractured lullaby (lullaby)

Verse

dreams built on promises, carved into the sky,

even stars can shatter when hope begins to die.

Melodies that shimmer in the night,

broken rhythms too fragile for the fight.

Chorus

Lull…lull…lullabay

Fractured lullaby (lullaby)

Lull…lull…lullabay

This Fractured lullaby (lullaby)

[Bridge - very quiet, whispered vocal and electric piano only]

If beauty shatters, does it still glow?

If truth is broken, how would we know?

We're holding fragments, sharp and bright,

Still waiting, searching for the light.

[solo]

Chorus

Lull…lull…lullabay

Fractured lullaby (lullaby)

Lull…lull…lullabay

This Fractured lullaby (lullaby)

Lull…lull…lull

(Lull…lull…lull)

Lull…lull…lull

(Lull-lulla-lullalaby)

This Fractured lullaby (lullaby)

A laid-back rock song . Constant tempo. No tempo change.

ESSENTIAL: Vocal MUST feature a British English accent. A light, breathy, whispered mid-range vocal. Delivery is heartfelt and reverent. Backing singer adds beautiful harmonies and melodic supporting lines.

INSTRUMENTATION:

Hammond Organ leads the song and is high and upfront in the mix, playing beautiful fills and arpeggios in a gospel blues style.

Electric guitar adds melodic, tasteful lead licks with a sustained, slightly distorted tone.

Saxophone contributes raw, honest fills-like a tight pub band that plays with soul but never shows off.

Rhythm section has a jazz feel. Drums are minimal and light, unobtrusive, with a dry, intimate tone. They lie low in the mix. No rattle on the snare. No hi-hat cymbal. Groove is steady and spacious, in strict 4/4 time-no swing or triplet feel.

Bass is warm and clean, fingerstyle with a jazz feel, weaving complex jazzy arpeggio based lines.

The overall sound is jazz club feel, clean and smooth.
