Rise Up Darlin'

Lilah Bedlow

Soul

About

This soul track pulses with syncopated bass grooves and punchy horn accents that punctuate the raw, emotive vocal runs, evoking the heartfelt energy of classic Stax recordings. Call-and-response patterns in the pre-chorus and chorus build a gospel-infused uplift, layered over warm Hammond organ swells and a driving rhythm section captured in analog tape saturation for live band intimacy. Soaring leads cut through natural room reverb, balancing heartbreak with resilient hope in a dynamic, groove-heavy production.

Lyrics

Oh, darlin', hold on tight We're dancin' through the night Yeah Hold on Hold on I wake up to the empty side of the bed Shadows linger where your laughter used to spread Heart heavy like a stone in the pourin' rain Chasin' memories that bring nothin' but pain Hold on It's not so hard to keep our flame alive But the winds of change cut deep like a knife Now I'm walkin' these streets alone again Searchin' for the strength to begin Feel the ache risin' in my chest, Lord Give me breath to pass this test I'm callin' out Can you hear my cry? Yeah, I hear you, child, don't you lie Soul on fire Soul on fire Burnin' through the dark Tears fallin' like stars Leavin' their mark But I'll rise up Stronger than before Love may break me, but it won't close the door Oh, my soul Keep singin' your song Through the hurt where I belong Yeah, rise up Rise up, baby, rise Rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up rise up in the quiet hours call a voice within lift me high keep going don't say goodbye so right so right letting grace win keep going now the dawn is breaking lighting my way lessons from the fall and turning tonight today heart still tender but it's beating strong found my rhythm in this endless song no more lost in the what might have been embracing the now let it win feel the joy sparking in my veins wash away the old break off chains i'm shouting loud let the heavens ring shout louder let freedom sing soul on fire burning through the dark tears falling like stars leaving their mark but i'll rise up stronger than before love may break me but it won't close the door oh my soul keep singing your song through the hurt where i belong rise up baby rise rise up yeah my soul keeps singing yeah my soul keeps singing yeah my soul keeps singing yeah my soul keeps singing yeah my soul keeps singing yeah my soul keeps singing yeah my soul keeps singing yeah my soul keeps singing yeah my soul keeps singing yeah my soul keeps singing
