Echoes & Whispers

⸻

New Song: Echoes & Whispers

Key: D minor

Tempo: ~68 BPM

Feel: quiet legacy, protective love, presence over instruction

Instruments:

• Rhodes (low, warm, steady)

• Soft piano (only answering phrases)

• Violin (long breath swells, never leading)

• Subtle pad (felt, not heard)

• Light bass pulse

• No drums until late — if at all

⸻

Intro (instrumental)

Rhodes alone.

Two chords.

Space does the talking.

Violin enters like a memory you didn’t summon.

⸻

Verse 1

I’ve learned some love doesn’t speak out loud

It settles in the walls somehow

It lingers after lights go dim

Like echoes learning how to listen

Every season leaves a trace

Every silence keeps a face

Nothing ever really leaves

It just waits where hearts can hear

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Not advice

Not control

Just the way my breath stays calm

When I let go

⸻

Chorus

These are echoes, these are whispers

Not meant to pull — just stay

Soft reminders in the distance

Love doesn’t fade

I don’t raise my voice to reach you

I don’t need to explain

If you ever feel alone at night

You’ll hear my name

⸻

Verse 2

Ashley walks with quiet fire

Knows her strength, won’t ask permission

Victoria feels the room before she speaks

Moves with vision

Gabrielle laughs like sunlight breaks

Even when the sky feels thin

Different rhythms, same heartbeat

I hear you in everything

⸻

Pre-Chorus (2)

Not pressure

Not fear

Just presence learning how

To stay near

⸻

Chorus (repeat)

These are echoes, these are whispers

Nothing forced, nothing loud

If the world ever feels too heavy

I’m still around

No directions carved in stone

No expectations to fulfill

Just a truth that follows softly

Wherever you will

⸻

Bridge

(Strip it back — Rhodes + breath only)

If you forget what steady feels like

If the noise gets in your head

Close your eyes — not to escape

But to remember where you’re led

You were never walking alone

Even when you couldn’t see

Some love doesn’t chase or shout

It stays quietly

⸻

Final Chorus

These are echoes, these are whispers

Carried gently through time

Not to shape who you become

Just to remind

If the night ever asks questions

You don’t have to answer fast

Let the silence hold you briefly

I’m already there

⸻

Outro

Violin holds.

Rhodes resolves downward.

End on silence — let the room breathe.
