The Empty Chair at the Jazz Club

Verse 1 (smoky, jazzy guitar riff · vocal upfront, intimate, slight rasp)
Another night, another velvet booth.
They still pour your gin, you know?
The bartender shakes his head,
he says I’m the only loyal customer left.
I told him loyalty
is just a nice word for stuck.


---

Pre-Chorus (minimal trip-hop drums enter: dusty kick, brushed snare, vinyl hiss, sidechained sub)
I swear I saw your shadow
by the exit sign, flicking ashes.
I almost called your name,
but darling, you don't answer calls
from this side of the grave.


---

Hook (epic but restrained · horns swell without triumph · heavy, non-uplifting sub-bass · late phrasing)
It's just the empty chair at the jazz club,
the only kind of heartbreak I still understand.
The band plays blue, the way you always liked it,
and I'm dancing slow with your ghost again.

(Repeat Hook)


---

Bridge (tempo pulls back · isolated electric piano · spoken word · audible breath)
They say time heals.
But if it did,
I’d have nothing left to drink to.

Funny thing is…
I don’t miss you.
I miss the version of me
that still waited.


---

Hook (drums hit harder · full, mournful brass section · maximum sub-bass presence)
It's just the empty chair at the jazz club,
the only kind of heartbreak I still understand.
The band plays blue, the way you always liked it,
and I'm dancing slow with your ghost again.


---

Outro (fade to silence · distorted vinyl scratch · weary whisper)
…Guess I'll have one more for the road.
Your road.

Scottish born and bred. Just exploring some ideas spinning round in my head and putting them up here. Various styles of music and trying to find my niche !  All the songs are written solely by me. 
Im open to all sorts of music and appreciate the work folk have done. If you don’t like my music ! Move on. Don’t belittle yourself by leaving nasty comments. Im not influenced by idiotic behaviour or narcissistic twats 🥸

I love creating Music. AI makes it possible for me. Hope you enjoy.
