Couples therapy, but in perfect two-part harmony.

Two voices, one fire: a sung conversation where love argues, gives in, and finds itself wrapped up in the chorus.

Sample excerpt
HE: I said I'd call you Sunday and I called you Thursday night. SHE: You always were impatient, that's the part I liked. HE: I had a whole speech ready, forgot it at hello. SHE: You said my name and honestly that covered it.
BOTH: So here we are, still finishing each other's lines, still arguing about who called who first. Forty years and neither one has won it, and neither one of us wants to.
Workshop note — Two voices alternating, past into present, conversational. The country duet must give each singer a distinct point of view and let them meet only in the chorus. At 94 BPM keep each line to one breath so the trade stays clean.
