Old Vinyl Soul
Von Clifford Guleng
Soul
octave doubles
glossy
R&B-pop with a laid-back swung pocket
dusty electric piano
muted guitar chops
and a rubbery bass line; verse rides sparse drums and intimate close-mic vocals
pre-chorus opens with stacked harmonies and a filtered lift
chorus hits wider with handclaps
and short delay throws on the hook word. Bridge drops to keys and breathy ad-libs before the final chorus blooms with gang vocals and a reverse-swell turn. Warm
and intimate with a polished top-end.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I found you by the corner store
Two paper cups and a worn-out coat
You said, "Don't ask me what I need"
Then you laughed and took half my toast
Your hands told stories I could read
Faded rings and a scar on your chin
You got that look like rain on glass
Like you know how to lose and win
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't need a map
I know where you go
When the world gets loud
You get low, you get low
[Chorus]
Soul, soul
Hold me close
Soul, soul
You already know
You got that soul
That won't let go
Soul, soul
Stay with me, soul
[Verse 2]
You keep the good stuff in a jar
Under loose change and the old blue bills
You fix the frame, you patch the torn
You make a home from a window sill
I watch you move through busted days
Like you’re dancing through a crowded train
Head up high with a pocket full
Of the little things that never fade
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't need a map
I know where you go
When the world gets loud
You get low, you get low
[Chorus]
Soul, soul
Hold me close
Soul, soul
You already know
You got that soul
That won't let go
Soul, soul
Stay with me, soul
[Bridge]
When the rent comes due
When the floorboards shake
You don't break in two
You just bend, then you stay
And I want that glow
I want that road
I want your hand
On my heart like home
[Final Chorus]
Soul, soul
Hold me close
Soul, soul
You already know
You got that soul
That won't let go
Soul, soul
Stay with me, soul
Soul, soul
Hold me close
Soul, soul
You already know
You got that soul
That won't let go
Soul, soul
Stay with me, soul
I found you by the corner store
Two paper cups and a worn-out coat
You said, "Don't ask me what I need"
Then you laughed and took half my toast
Your hands told stories I could read
Faded rings and a scar on your chin
You got that look like rain on glass
Like you know how to lose and win
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't need a map
I know where you go
When the world gets loud
You get low, you get low
[Chorus]
Soul, soul
Hold me close
Soul, soul
You already know
You got that soul
That won't let go
Soul, soul
Stay with me, soul
[Verse 2]
You keep the good stuff in a jar
Under loose change and the old blue bills
You fix the frame, you patch the torn
You make a home from a window sill
I watch you move through busted days
Like you’re dancing through a crowded train
Head up high with a pocket full
Of the little things that never fade
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't need a map
I know where you go
When the world gets loud
You get low, you get low
[Chorus]
Soul, soul
Hold me close
Soul, soul
You already know
You got that soul
That won't let go
Soul, soul
Stay with me, soul
[Bridge]
When the rent comes due
When the floorboards shake
You don't break in two
You just bend, then you stay
And I want that glow
I want that road
I want your hand
On my heart like home
[Final Chorus]
Soul, soul
Hold me close
Soul, soul
You already know
You got that soul
That won't let go
Soul, soul
Stay with me, soul
Soul, soul
Hold me close
Soul, soul
You already know
You got that soul
That won't let go
Soul, soul
Stay with me, soul
