Асютка (edit)

[Intro: solo piano motif, soft cello drone, gentle kick drum enters like a heartbeat — once every two beats] [Verse: male vocal, very close, almost whispered — kick drum pulses softly underneath] I spent my life just drifting like a ghost Far away from any quiet shore or coast. But then you came and pulled me from the sea And showed me who I’m really meant to be. [Chorus: cello swells, piano becomes warmer, kick drum remains steady but quiet] асЮтка, амИрка, алИнка ... The only world I ever want to know. асЮтка, амИрка, алИнка ... You’re the love that helps my spirit grow. [Verse: piano alone, voice softer, kick drum barely audible] I see my son, his future’s burning bright He’s got your heart, he’s guided by your light. And then my girl, a blossom in the sun A brand new life has only just begun. [Chorus: cello holds long notes, kick drum pulses like a calm heartbeat] асЮтка, амИрка, алИнка ... The only world I ever want to know. асЮтка, амИрка, алИнка ... You’re the love that helps my spirit grow. [Bridge: kick drum pauses on first line, returns gently on second] No mountain peak or valley deep and wide Could take away this feeling from inside. You are the pulse, the fire, and the breath A love that’s stronger than the fear of death. [Final Chorus: full warmth — piano, cello, steady heartbeat kick] асЮтка, амИрка, алИнка ... The only world I ever want to know. асЮтка, амИрка, алИнка ... You’re the love that helps my spirit grow. [Outro: piano fades, cello holds last note, kick drum slows... then stops] асЮтка ... амИрка ... алИнка ... My grace... [final heartbeat... silence]
