Sound of the Source

[Intro – clean jangly 80s guitar riff, soft reggae drum skank] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – mellow rhythm guitar, gentle snare shuffle] The world woke up to a single breath A hum that moved beyond all death It stretched through every empty place And traced a path through time and space [Pre-Chorus – subtle bassline, rising vocal harmonies] It hummed in every grain of sand A pulse that held the world in hand No eye could see, no ear could miss The spark that lit the endless list [Chorus – bright lead guitar, full reggae drum groove] It’s the hum that started every wave The pulse that dug every grave It ripples on through sun and rain The quiet beat that keeps us sane It’s the spark that lit the very first light The rhythm that makes the dark take flight It moves in every step we take The source that never seems to break [Verse 2 – laid-back guitar strum, soft rimshots] It moved through stars and distant skies It woke the birds and made them rise It stirred the oceans, moved the trees It whispered secrets to the breeze [Pre-Chorus – layered guitar, warm organ pad] It lives in every laugh and tear A constant song we all can hear No wall can block, no storm can drown The quiet hum that holds us down [Chorus – distorted 80s guitar solo tease, fuller vocal layers] It’s the hum that started every wave The pulse that dug every grave It ripples on through sun and rain The quiet beat that keeps us sane It’s the spark that lit the very first light The rhythm that makes the dark take flight It moves in every step we take The source that never seems to break [Interlude – bluesy guitar solo, reggae drum breakdown] (Instrumental Solo) [Bridge – sparse guitar, intimate vocal delivery] It’s in the silence between the notes The quiet hope that helps us cope It’s in the beat that makes us move The quiet truth we all can prove [Chorus – full band, maximum energy, soaring guitar lead] It’s the hum that started every wave The pulse that dug every grave It ripples on through sun and rain The quiet beat that keeps us sane It’s the spark that lit the very first light The rhythm that makes the dark take flight It moves in every step we take The source that never seems to break [Outro – fading guitar strum, soft drum fade-out] The hum still moves through time and space A quiet song we all embrace
