Liner Notes

#challenge

This is for the Two Styles Challenge. I like to think of the verses and chorus as #urbanpop, and the bridge as #alleycore, and they meet up for the final chorus, as in any good urban #fantasy.

I have no idea what I did with the mode on the verses. I think it's some kind of weird melodic minor but without the minor tonic? Or just a #downwardkeychange at some point? And then the bridge has its own key that fits in.

Switching between #girlwithpiano, #girlwithukulele, and #flute all without editing makes it interesting to play for sure.

Enjoy a little rush to the office, and an escape into the alley.

Lyrics

The Music of the City
Jemma Kline

Ride along the street,
Cars horns next to me.
Time to go the light is green!
Waltzing down the stairs,
Watch me; I don’t care.
Hope the train’s still there!

Hear the music of the city,
While I’m dancing through the city,
Yes, the rhythm of the city’s in the air!
Hear the music of the city,
While I’m dancing through the city,
Yes, the rhythm of the city’s in the air!

Workday’s done and then,
Headed home again.
Street musician gives a grin.
Late night on a lark,
Shortcut in the dark,
Down an alley, to the park.

Hear the music of the city,
While I’m dancing through the city,
Yes, the rhythm of the city’s in the air!
Hear the music of the city,
While I’m dancing through the city,
Yes, the rhythm of the city’s in the air!

Soft glow, from the windows,
Fiddles, in the air.
Drummers, in a circle,
Beauty, hidden there.
Longing, pulling sweetly,
Join them, with a smile.
My notes, fitting neatly.
Stay there, for a while.

Hear the music of the city,
While I’m dancing through the city,
Yes, the rhythm of the city’s in the air!
Hear the music of the city,
While I’m dancing through the city,
Yes, the rhythm of the city’s in the air!
Hear the music of the city,
While I’m dancing through the city,
Yes, the rhythm of the city’s in the air!
