Fading Light Blues
Slow trumpet and muted horn intro with minor piano chords underneath, upright bass walking 75 BPM, brushed snare swaying softly. Guitar answers the horn with clean blues bends. The singer begins almost conversational, smoky and rough, then launches into a piercing, raw rasp, wailing and bending notes, pushing the voice to the edge of breaking.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Sun dips low, paints the sky red,
I walk alone, carrying what you said.
Shadows stretch, stretching my mind,
Trying to leave the past behind.
Verse 2
Sidewalks empty, wind whispers low,
Every step reminds me of letting go.
I try to breathe, I try to stay strong,
But fading light carries our song.
Chorus
Fading light blues,
Holding on to you.
Every dusk, every sigh,
Tells me it’s true.
I loved you deep, I loved you right,
Now I walk with fading light blues tonight.
Bridge
If tomorrow brings the sun,
Will it erase what’s done?
Final Chorus
Fading light blues,
I keep moving slow.
Heart in pieces,
But the night won’t go.
Outro
Fading light blues…
