M7 Whispers of the River

Lyrics

​[((Intro : Soft, delicate acoustic guitar plucking, blending western chords with a melancholic oriental touch, setting a deep atmospheric mood))] ​[Couplet 1] [((Style : Crystalline voice, contained emotion, intimate and poetic delivery over a gentle guitar arpeggio))] I'm gonna make a change for once in my life It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat This wind is blowing my mind, I see the kids in the street Without enough to eat, who am I to be blind, pretending not to see their needs? ​[Pré-Refrain] [((Style : Voice getting smoother and broken, deep human-centric delivery, acoustic guitar strumming grows slightly warmer and more intense))] A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top, and a one man's soul They follow each other on the wind ya know 'Cause they got nowhere to go, that's why I want you to know ​[Refrain] [((Style : Emotional release, powerful crystalline high notes but strictly contained, beautiful traditional Raï vocal ornamentations on the words, acoustic guitar playing passionate melancholic chords))] I'm starting with the man in the river I'm asking him to change his ways And no message could have been any clearer If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and then make a change [((Vocal effect : Contained emotional sigh, traditional subtle oriental vocal improvisation))] (Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah) ​[Outro] [((Style : Guitar plucking fades out slowly, solo voice finishing on a long, beautiful and broken oriental note, full of soul))]
