Dust to Digital" (The Farewell Shuffle)

"Dust to Digital":

🎧 "Dust to Digital" (Shorter Mix) 🌸

Genre: Country Ethno-Techno

(Intro)

(Deep Gong sound initiates a fast, heavy Country-Techno beat. Ethno-Synth melody loops brightly.)

Verse 1

> This old hat knows every sunrise seen through a dirty pane,

> And these boots memorized the shuffle of the whiskey-soaked rain.

> I lived the legend, every loud, screaming night,

> But lately, all that neon glare just feels like blinding light.

> They say a true country girl will die right where she stands,

> But I'm looking for new mountains, in some far-off, tranquil lands.

>

Pre-Chorus

> The fiddles always cried a story that I knew by heart,

> Now the new rhythm in my soul is pulling me apart.

> Time to trade the stage smoke for the scent of sandalwood,

> Gonna leave the gravel life behind, like I always knew I would.

>

Chorus

(The beat drops heavy—massive kick and snare. Synth melody is urgent.)

> I’m hanging up my hat where the highway starts to end,

> I'm trading country gold for a silence that will mend.

> The boots are coming off, no more dancing on the glass,

> From Dust to Digital, let the old world quickly pass.

> This honky-tonk queen is calling her own tune!

>

Bridge / Breakdown

(Country beat softens. Focus on high-pitched Ethno-Techno percussion and Gong sounds. The vocal is raw.)

> That roar is just an echo of what was.

> (Synth hits a clear, resonant Koto note)

> I'm swapping the rodeo for the rice fields, the grit for the gleam,

> Trading one wild world for a brand new, private dream.

>

Chorus

(Return to full power.)

> I’m hanging up my hat where the highway starts to end,

> I'm trading country gold for a silence that will mend.

> The boots are coming off, no more dancing on the glass,

> From Dust to Digital, let the old world quickly pass.

> This honky-tonk queen is calling her own tune!

>

Outro

(Beat fades quickly. Final sound of a soft, slow Gong and a single fading Synth chord.)
