Late Night, Sweating

All Hallows Grieve

O come meraviglioso! O come meraviglioso

ITs a slow flow flop, last song more juice

Things I Only Tell the Dark

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.
