Sixty Seasons

Movement 1 – The Beginning (1940s–50s)

The band was playing softly, the lights were low that night [1940s swing] [big band horns],

Love letters folded tight, beneath the pale moonlight [1950s doo-wop] [shoo-bop harmonies].

Movement 2 – Building (1960s–70s)

A house on Main Street, dreams in every room [1960s folk-pop] [acoustic guitar strum],

Stormy days still came, but love carried us through [1970s soul-rock] [wah guitar + organ swell].

Movement 3 – Family (1980s–90s)

Baby in the hallway, laughter in the air [1980s synth-pop] [sax solo + gated drums],

Photographs and tears, but the love was always there [1990s alt-rock ballad] [distorted guitar swell].

Movement 4 – Reflection (2000s–2010s)

We’re holding on, through the fire, through the night [2000s indie acoustic] [piano + strings],

Empty rooms remain, but the love still shines inside [2010s electro-pop] [ambient synth drone].

Movement 5 – Finale (2020s)

Golden years together, nothing left to fear [2020s orchestral pop] [string orchestra + layered harmonies],

Sixty seasons later, I’m grateful you are here [cinematic grand finale].

Coda (Farewell)

[Full orchestral swell + fragments of swing brass, doo-wop harmonies, jangly guitar, synth arpeggio, and strings layered together].

“Every dance, every song, every tear, every year — our love lives on.” [spoken over orchestra].
