Sample excerpt
Sunday light comes in crooked through the blinds, you're humming something older than us both. There's a bass line underneath this whole apartment that only shows up when nobody's in a rush.
Stay in it, don't fix it, let it lean, the best chords are the ones that don't resolve. Love ain't a straight line to a promise, it's a groove that keeps agreeing to go on.
Workshop note — Second person, present, unhurried. Neo-soul rewards the unresolved: avoid perfect rhyme and let the phrase land slightly off the beat. At 92 BPM one thought can stretch across four bars.
