Sample excerpt

Strings come in like the city agreeing with me, first time anything that big has been on my side. I carried this alone through every winter, now it sounds like there were people all along.

Let the violins say what I couldn't, let the drums say I was never soft. Every kid who made it out of nothing knows the sound of nothing letting go.

Workshop noteFirst person, present, cinematic. Street orchestral needs the lyric to stay plain while the arrangement swells: never compete with the strings. At 138 BPM the hook lands on the first beat of the string entrance.
