Lucky On The One
Gabriele Gennari
male vocals
funky
Soul
70s funk-soul groove with clavinet front and center
tight rhythm section locked to a dry
funky pocket. Male vocals
playful and gritty
with stacked call-and-response backgrounds on the hook. Wah guitar stabs
live horns punching on turnarounds
bass running syncopated riffs. Chorus hits harder with claps and doubled leads; short breakdown for a drum-and-bass vamp before the final hook.

[Verse 1]
Got my coffee on the counter
Burnt toast
Late again
Boss man blowin' up my phone line
I just let it ring
Left my wallet in the freezer
Keys hangin' in the door
But when the groove hits my shoulder
I don’t care anymore
[Chorus]
I’m lucky on the one
When that backbeat hits
I’m home
Messed up everything else I’ve done
But the rhythm says I’m not alone
I’m lucky on the one
Trip and tumble through my day
But when that kick drum tells me “come”
All my trouble starts to sway
[Verse 2]
Landlord talkin’ ’bout the rent now
Says I’m livin’ on a prayer
Got a plant that never made it
Still I’m waterin’ the air
But my feet keep findin’ corners
Little pockets in the floor
[band drop] When the band leaves just the bassline
I can’t worry anymore
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Snap back
Two and four
Heartbeat hittin’ the same
Bad luck knockin’ on my front door
I just dance
Won’t say its name
Spin around
Tap my heel
Shake the dust from my day
Every time that rhythm turns me
All that heavy floats away
[Chorus]
Got my coffee on the counter
Burnt toast
Late again
Boss man blowin' up my phone line
I just let it ring
Left my wallet in the freezer
Keys hangin' in the door
But when the groove hits my shoulder
I don’t care anymore
[Chorus]
I’m lucky on the one
When that backbeat hits
I’m home
Messed up everything else I’ve done
But the rhythm says I’m not alone
I’m lucky on the one
Trip and tumble through my day
But when that kick drum tells me “come”
All my trouble starts to sway
[Verse 2]
Landlord talkin’ ’bout the rent now
Says I’m livin’ on a prayer
Got a plant that never made it
Still I’m waterin’ the air
But my feet keep findin’ corners
Little pockets in the floor
[band drop] When the band leaves just the bassline
I can’t worry anymore
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Snap back
Two and four
Heartbeat hittin’ the same
Bad luck knockin’ on my front door
I just dance
Won’t say its name
Spin around
Tap my heel
Shake the dust from my day
Every time that rhythm turns me
All that heavy floats away
[Chorus]
