Sample excerpt
Found the old CD in a drawer last Tuesday, your handwriting still faded on the case. Track four was ours, you played it every Sunday, and I swear I could still smell that place.
Oh baby, rewind it (rewind it), take me back to that summer we made. I don't need forever, just five minutes of the way you loved me back then, babe.
Workshop note — First person, past tense leaning into the present. Nineties R&B lives on the ad-lib: leave short gaps at the end of each line for the harmony stack to answer. At 98 BPM the swing pushes the last syllable slightly late, so pick words that can be stretched, never clipped.
