About
A haunting jazz ballad with a male vocalist delivering introspective lyrics over sophisticated chord progressions laced with blue notes and bends. Syncopated rhythms and a signature swing groove drive the double bass and brushed drums, while extended saxophone solos showcase raw improvisation in an intimate, smoke-filled lounge vibe. Polyrhythms and call-and-response patterns blend emotional depth with rhythmic vitality, capturing the ache of lost love.
Lyrics
🎵 🎵 🎵 It tasted like forever 🎵 🎵 Now just smoke and sighs 🎵 🎵 Heartbeats stumbling 🎵 🎵 Pulling off the rhythm 🎵 🎵 Under midnight skies we danced on fragile edges 🎵 🎵 Where the wild ones play your touch, a fleeting fire 🎵 🎵 Burning bright that might have been lost in waves of what we were 🎵 🎵 Oh, the longing pulls me under 🎵 🎵 Like a tide that never turns ever 🎵 🎵 You still haunt me in the silence 🎵 🎵 Wearing, I'm swaying in the glow 🎵 🎵 Beneath these weary eyes 🎵 🎵 🎵 Fingers tracing ghosts upon the glass 🎵 🎵 Reflections twist and bend, memories unravel slowly 🎵 🎵 No beginning, no real end, a sigh escapes the corner 🎵 🎵 Bending low with hidden aches spinning through the tangled hours 🎵 🎵 Now they pull me deep, improvised, in fleeting moments 🎵 🎵 Secrets that we couldn't keep 🎵 🎵 Hard and uneven pulses 🎵 🎵 Chasing shadows through the night yearning for the sun 🎵 🎵 For the spark that vanished 🎵 🎵 Swallowed by the lilos 🎵 🎵 Where your voice once softly calls, free to whisper 🎵 🎵 Before the final curtain falls wraps around me gently 🎵 🎵 But I say in this quiet space God put twice the faith that bound us 🎵 🎵 But I say in this quiet space God put twice the faith that bound us 🎵 🎵 But I say in this quiet space God put twice the faith that bound us 🎵 🎵 Now they said, in the longing 🎵 🎵 Now they said, in the longing 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵 🎵 They're in the longing for the you they used to be 🎵
