Picking Up the Pieces

Minor blues electric riff starts with wah-wah on guitar, jazz-inflected organ chords underneath, upright bass walking at 76 BPM. Ride cymbal lightly shimmers. The vocal growls from low chest voice, then explodes into a screaming, raspy high, carrying power and emotional weight, voice slightly off-pitch intentionally, full of pain and energy.

Lyrics

Verse 1 I wake alone, the night is gone, I breathe the pain, I try to move on. The memories linger, the heart still aches, I take small steps, whatever it takes. Every morning feels brand new. Chorus Picking up the pieces, one by one, I loved too hard, now I’m not done. Picking up the pieces, I’ll survive, I’ll keep my soul, I’ll stay alive. Verse 2 Photos fade but I keep the view, I learn to smile, I learn what’s true. The nights are hard, the days are long, I hum my story in a song. Every tear will teach me more. Chorus Picking up the pieces, one by one, I loved too hard, now I’m not done. Picking up the pieces, I’ll survive, I’ll keep my soul, I’ll stay alive. Verse 3 Evening comes, the sky turns gold, I hug my heart, I break the mold. The past is gone, the future’s mine, I walk ahead, I’ll be fine. Picking up the pieces, fade away. Chorus / Outro Picking up the pieces, one by one, I loved too hard, now I’m not done. Picking up the pieces… fade tonight.
