FORM-I:{one small spark}|{4-bar sax ignition}

[sax:{three-note falling hook}][bass+drums:{build in}]

Another crack.

Another day that didn’t ask.

One small spark.

The can was already open.

That’s how a bridge starts.

FORM-V1:{walls go grey}

[groove:{dancehall bounce}][sax:{short answers}][guitar:{skanks}]

The city sheds a little more

every time the light goes cheap.

Walls go grey the way a voice does

when nobody answers it.

They handed us the paint

like it was medicine.

I shook the can.

Drew a sun that looked more like a mistake.

Watched it run

down a crack that didn’t want fixing.

It looked better wrong.

Somewhere a playlist

kept the light on.

FORM-P1:{illegal brightness}

[hats:{open}][cello:{rises}][sax:{stabs}]

Red where the plaster failed.

Blue on a brick that kept its grudge.

The grey doesn’t vanish.

It just has company now.

The street looks awake

in a slightly illegal way.

One click and the street

has another accent.

FORM-C1:{colours run}

[drums:{club bounce}][bass:{elastic}][sax:{falling replies}]

Let the colours run tonight.

Let them miss the lines.

Every crack becomes a place

we didn’t plan to sign.

Concrete doesn’t turn to gold.

It turns to evidence.

We came to mend the stone

and mostly built a bridge

that feels like home

if you squint.

FORM-POST:{rooftop to kerb}

[drums:{half-time}][sax:{three-note hook}]

Rooftop to the kerb.

Paint on the cuffs.

Simple words.

That’s the masterpiece.

The rest is drying.

FORM-TAG:{instrumental sax hook}|{4 bars}

sax:{hook twice}|{second ending bends}

FORM-V2:{worldwide fingerprints}

[drums:{rimshot ghosts}][cello:{pizzicato}][sax:{short tags}]

Morning finds a train

with stars that drip.

A dragon on a tower

that looks more like a question.

Rooftops in a red

that will not match the brochure.

Hands I don’t know

left their fingerprints in the gold.

Hungary. Italy. A rooftop in Australia.

Poland. Spain. France.

Germany with the kettle on.

The street glows

the way a fever does.

Useful.

A little much.

Kilometres?

Haven’t heard of them.

FORM-P2:{not alone}

[drums:{build}][cello:{bowed lift}][sax:{offbeat stabs}]

Corners. Squares.

Somebody laughing

because the blue went feral.

The colour got inside the day

and stayed past visiting hours.

You write your music.

Fine.

You are not doing it alone.

FORM-C2:{bridge returns}

[sax:{bright replies}][drums:{full}][guitar:{skanks}]

Let the colours run tonight.

Let them miss the lines.

Every crack becomes a place

we didn’t plan to sign.

Concrete doesn’t turn to gold.

It turns to evidence.

We came to mend the stone

and mostly built a bridge

that feels like home

if you squint.

FORM-BR:{the wall had plans}|{half-time}

[cello:{bowed lead}][tagelharpa:{D-A drone}][sax:{breath gap}]

We meant to patch the wall.

The wall had other plans.

Somewhere in the blue

that wouldn’t behave

we stopped performing the repair

and started keeping the street company.

Simple words.

Friendship. Love.

The planet can keep its noise.

We build the span

between a comment

and a chorus

and call it close enough.

A thousand hands.

Most of them tired.

Good enough.

And still a bridge.

FORM-GAP:{half-beat sax inhale}

FORM-FEATURE:{tenor sax solo}|{32 bars}|{instrumental only}

stage 1:{bars 1-8}|{hook fragments turn to displaced growls}|{drums answer rests}

stage 2:{bars 9-16}|{bebop sentences lengthen}|{chromatic flurries}|{low honks}

stage 3:{bars 17-24}|{octave vaults}|{altissimo cries}|{flutter tongue}|{drums push}

stage 4:{bars 25-32}|{hook in double-time}|{virtuoso descents}|{long bent note}

ending:{drum stop}|{bent note hangs}|{one-beat gap}|{groove returns}

law:{sax owns feature}|{cello stays below}

FORM-FINAL:{colours fill the night}

[groove:{full}][sax:{high answers}][cello:{low counterline}]

Let the colours fill the night.

Let them argue with the dark.

Every wall a half-finished thought.

Every street a little louder

than it was at noon.

See the city in its gold

that will fade by Thursday.

We came to mend the broken streets

and left a bridge

that sings

while it dries.

FORM-OUTRO:{still wet}

[drums:{strip}][sax+cello:{trade hook}][bass:{D resolve}]

From faded grey

to something still wet.

Simple words.

An urban masterpiece.

Ask the cracks.

They kept the friends.

TERMINATE:{sax falling hook}|{dry rimshot}|{hard full-band stop}
