(Study 13)

This piece explores the idea that rhythm isn’t something we create so much as something we enter.

Set against a New Jack Swing groove, the track moves between motion and stillness, voice and space, energy and restraint. At its center is a simple shift:

Even doubt carries rhythm.
Even tension has a pulse.

The question isn’t whether the music is there.
It’s whether we step into it.

Rhythm Somewhere

Intro
Feel the rhythm, let it flow
Eyes closed, ears open
Catch the pulse

Fingers snap slow
Let it ride

Verse 1
Stay in the rhythm
Don’t leave the song
Miss one moment
It’s already gone

Don’t mind your name
Don’t mind your plan
That sound in your chest
Is where it began

Pre-Drop
Even your doubt’s got a rhythm somewhere

Breakdown
Sometimes it’s not sweet, it’s true

Verse 2
The rhythm of life
Don’t ask, just trust
Beat in your bones
Pulling you up

Don’t fight the funk
Step in the groove
Lose what you were
You become

Tap your feet
Feel the heat
Raise your hands
No retreat

Let the music speak
No need to explain
Sing through the noise
Dance in the rain

Silence is gold
But not tonight
There’s a low hum rising
Just under the light

Keep the beat
Play your drum
You don’t chase it
You become

Hook
Eyes closed
Ears open
Hands clapping
Catch the pulse

Stay in the rhythm
Don’t leave the song
Miss one moment
It’s already gone

Don’t fight the funk
Don’t overthink
The groove don’t wait
It pulls you in

Outro
Feel the rhythm
Hear it flow

Feel the rhythm
Hear it flow
