Empty Arms in Shadows

Leroy Beaumont

Soul

About

This soulful ballad features emotive vocal runs that soar with raw passion over syncopated bass grooves and punchy horn accents, evoking the classic Stax era warmth. Call-and-response patterns in the chorus build emotional intensity, backed by Hammond organ swells and a tight drum pocket in a live band analog production with tape saturation and natural reverb. The mix centers upfront vocals and a driving low end for deep heartfelt resonance.

Lyrics

intro

Oh, darlin'... mmm, yeah...

verse

Nights stretch long without your touch so warm, Empty arms reachin' for a love that's gone. Shadows dance where we used to sway, Heart heavy, carryin' all this pain today.

pre-chorus

Feelin' lost in the storm inside my chest, Tears fall like rain, puttin' me to the test.

chorus

Soul cryin' out

cryin' out

, for you to stay

to stay

, Love so deep

so deep

, it won't fade away

fade away

. Come hold me close

hold me close

, heal this breakin' heart

breakin' heart

, In your arms

your arms

, we'd never part

never part

.

verse

Memories linger like a sweet, sad song, Whispers of laughter, now they don't belong. Standin' strong but I'm fallin' apart, Need your fire to restart my beatin' heart.

pre-chorus

Risin' up from the ache, searchin' for the light, Holdin' on through the long, endless night.

chorus

Soul cryin' out

cryin' out

, for you to stay

to stay

, Love so deep

so deep

, it won't fade away

fade away

. Come hold me close

hold me close

, heal this breakin' heart

breakin' heart

, In your arms

your arms

, we'd never part

never part

.

bridge

One more chance, let the healin' begin, From the depths, let the spirit within... rise up, oh yeah!

horn solo
Ooh-ooh, yeah... mmm-hmm... take me back...
chorus

Soul cryin' out

cryin' out

, Love so deep

so deep

, it won't fade away

fade away

.

outro

Come hold me...

hold me close

, heal my heart...

oh darlin'

Yeah... mmm, soul forever...
