Sample excerpt

No plans, no phone, no reason to get dressed, the whole day folded up and put away. Your hand found mine before either of us was awake, which is the closest thing to proof I've ever had.

Take your time, we've got the kind of hours that don't ask what we did with them. Slow is not the absence of the fire, slow is how you keep it burning.

Workshop noteSecond person, present, unhurried. The slow jam is written in long breaths: one sentence per two bars, no consonant clusters. At 64 BPM the singer will stretch the last word for a full measure, so choose it carefully.
