[Verse 1]
Amp hum like distant thunder, neon frets warm under my thumb
Backline smoke remembers every show where we became undone
Fretboard scars map midnight stories, pick-squeals cut the air
Midnight city bouncing off the chrome — I find you standing there
[Pre‑Chorus 1]
Feel the feed of voltage, small town sparks to full-on glare
Hands on the neck, breathe it in — tonight we’ll tear
[Chorus]
Electric heartbeat — take me now
Fretboard scars and the vow
We burn this city loud
Electric heartbeat — take me now (hook)
[Verse 2]
Strings tasting gasoline and rain, serrated riffs that call your name
Neon signs reflect on puddles, mirror-stage, no one’s to blame
Every barre a promise, every slide a thread of gold
We play until the dawn rewrites the story that we told
[Pre‑Chorus 2]
Voltage climbs; the chorus draws the skyline closer still
Different words this time — we mean to thrill
[Chorus]
Electric heartbeat — take me now
Fretboard scars and the vow
We burn this city loud
Electric heartbeat — take me now (hook)
[Bridge — clean to grit]
Drop to glass-clean tone: whisper-phrased harmonics on the low E
Then build — a phoenix bend, double-tracked cries in harmony
8-bar solo slot: sing a line, then answer it — harmonized in thirds
(Bend, hold, let it cry; then rip the wound and let it surge)
[Solo — 8 bars over bridge progression]
(Lead: B minor pentatonic run, then melodic outside note to land back on the root)
[Chorus — full band, doubled vocals]
Electric heartbeat — take me now
Fretboard scars and the vow
We burn this city loud
Electric heartbeat — take me now (final)
[Outro]
Amp hum fading into morning, neon frets asleep and faint
Fretboard scars keep singing — every note a saint
We walk the silent afterglow; the skyline keeps the sound
Neon fretfire in our blood, the echo holds us bound
[Production & Guitar Notes]
- Tempo: 128 BPM (energetic, driving) — range 120–135 BPM works too.
- Tone: Verse — slight crunch / tight gain, muted palm for rhythmic drive. Chorus — open full distortion, wide stereo double-tracked guitars. Bridge — clean with plate reverb, then build back into dirt for the solo.
- Suggested chord progressions:
• Verse: E5 – G5 – A5 – B5 (power-chord rock groove)
• Pre‑Chorus: C#m7 – B – A – B (lift into chorus)
• Chorus: C#m – A – E – B (anthemic, open voicings)
• Bridge / Solo: Bm – G – D – A (modal shift for contrast)
- Riff idea: Single-note power riff in B minor pentatonic for verses (root on 7th fret low E) — start with a syncopated two-note hook: (B note — sliding D — quick hammer to E) repeat as rhythmic anchor.
- Solo slot: 8 bars over bridge progression — play a melodic run in B minor pentatonic, then take a lyrical bend on the 15th fret, double-track the last 4 bars an octave apart for harmonic wideness.
- Dynamics / Arrangement:
1) Intro / Verse 1: muted rhythm guitar + prominent single-line lead (low-mid frequencies) — intimate but taut.
2) Pre‑Chorus: add second rhythm guitar an
