Lyrics
Description
[Intro]
Slow skank, night bellin' on the pier
Melodica hum, a lantern near (BGV: Irie...)
Bass breathes low, like tide on stone
This heart keeps skankin' on, keepin' us home
[Verse 1]
Market lights swing—paper lanterns glow
Vendor laughs, the mango juice runs slow
You tuck your hair behind your ear, soft grin
Taxi sings the rhythm of the road we're in
A man sells vinyl under neon dust
Children chase a frisbee, barefoot trust
We share a corner bench, coins in hand
A cigarette between us, maps of distant land
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the one-drop heartbeat, steady and long
Organ washes color into the song
(BGV: Oooh—)
[Chorus]
This heart keeps skankin' on
(Call: This heart—) (Answer: skankin' on)
This heart keeps skankin' on
(BGV: Skankin' on, skankin' on)
[Verse 2]
Lighthouse blinking—salt on our skin
Boat horns answering the dusk with a grin
You hum an old tune, cracked like a shell
I trace the scar of time where you dwell
We trade small stories—grandma, ships, and rain
You fold my jacket, handmade like a refrain
Café radio plays a lover's creed
We sway, two shadows learning how to breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the skank fill spaces where words ran thin
Rimshot whispers, rim-of-night grin
(BGV: Yeah-yeah-yeaah)
[Chorus — Variation]
This heart keeps skankin' on
(Call: This heart—) (Answer: skankin' on)
This heart keeps skankin' on (hold)
(BGV: Won't stop now)
[Bridge — stripped]
(Bass solo, dry one-drop, vocal close)
Just you and me and the low warm thrum
I whisper, "Irie—stay where you from"
(BGV echo: Irie—stay...)
(Pause. Bass rides alone two bars)
[Bridge — build]
Now bring the organ back, soft then loud
Guitar skank returns like a gathering cloud
Melodica answers with the lighthouse tune
We lift, we hold—under the same pale moon
[Instrumental Break]
Melodica lead (call), clean guitar reply
Short dub delay—space where memories fly
[Final Chorus — Climax]
This heart keeps skankin' on (lead, doubled)
(Call: This heart—) (Answer: skankin' on)
This heart keeps skankin' on — louder now
(BGV: Skankin' on, oh-oh-oh)
This heart keeps skankin' on — we won't let go
(BGV harmony stacked, call-response rides)
[Outro]
Lanterns dim, but the bass stays warm
We walk slow home through the afterstorm
Your hand in mine—steady and strong
This heart, this night—keeps skankin' on
[Production Notes]
- Tempo: 78 BPM (recommended 72–88 BPM range)
- Pocket: one-drop/rockers with a warm, round bassline
- Guitars: tight offbeat skank (clean, slightly muted)
- Keys: Hammond/organ swells and short fills
- Percussion: light shakers, rimshots, soft congas
- Lead motif: melodica or clean single-note guitar
- Arrangement tips: Bridge stripped to bass + intimate vocal; rebuild with organ and harmonies into final chorus. Add dub delays on melodica and vocals for remix flavor.
