Feux arrière rouges

Paroles de « Feux arrière rouges »

Intro: full band, cold open

[Theme A: bell-synth lead, round walking bass, gated snare on 2 and 4 — motif stated plain, four bars, no accompaniment above it]

[Theme A restated: octave shimmer added on the bell, light arpeggio entering in the right channel only]

[Reduction: bell drops out, round bass and brushed drum machine alone, long pad underneath holding one chord]

[Re-entry: bell melody returns an octave lower, slow phaser on the pad, hi-hats in sixteenths]

[Theme A variation: counter-melody on analog saw above the bell, bass walks the same four steps, tom fills at the turnaround]

Break: drums out, pad swells alone, single bell notes with long tape delay trailing off — tape wobbles, pitch sags a semitone and recovers

[Theme B: new melody on warm polysynth, chord movement rising, bass holding a pedal note underneath]

[Theme B development: fretless bass slides added, clean electric guitar doubling the top line, shaker entering late]

[Theme B peak: polysynth and guitar in unison at the top of the rise, snare reverb opened wide, held one bar longer than expected]

[Transition: filter closes on everything, reverse cymbal, one bar of silence on the downbeat]

[Final statement: Theme A doubled an octave up, bell and saw in unison, full drums, bass at full round tone]

[Final statement extension: counter-melody stacking over the theme, cymbal wash, sub-bass reinforcement — no new melodic material, only density]

[Descent: sub-bass out, then saw, then drums thinning to kick and hat, pad left wide open]

Outro: layers peeling away one by one, bell last, tape slowing, two red taillights receding to a point
