I even have a song to go with Carly.... I had it done and fed it to AI because it's style of notation is great even if I write it all.
Style: Caribbean Funk / Reggae Groove
Tempo/Feel: Midtempo, syncopated skank, dirty funky rhythm section with clavinet stabs + wah guitar
Intro:
| Gm7 | C9 | Gm7 | D7 |
Verse 1 (Paul Simon style):
Gm7 – Early morning / C9 – Sun climbing high
Gm7 – Steam on the pavement / D7 – Rhythm never die
Gm7 – Street full of colors / C9 – Vendors cryin’ loud
Gm7 – Carly in the alley / D7 – Mixin’ with the crowd
Pre-Chorus:
Cm7 – Hear that conga / F9 – Bouncin’ down the line
Gm7 – No, Carly baby, (spoken) RUSH (ROOS)
D7 – got to make it on time
Chorus (Island folk reggae):
Gm7 – Churn it, honey / C9 – spin like your feet is on fire
Gm7 – Move it, darling / D7 – bass gonna take you higher
Gm7 – Churn it, honey / C9 – sweat like the tropical rain
Gm7 – Spin like fire / D7 – roll like sugarcane
Verse 2 (Paul Simon style):
Gm7 – Taxi man shouting / C9 – steelpan starts to play
Gm7 – Carly’s in a hurry / D7 – got no time to stay
Gm7 – Backstreet hustlers / C9 – drumming out the beat
Gm7 – Wind blowin’ four-time / D7 – sandal rub the street
Pre-Chorus 2:
Cm7 – Hear that riddim / F9 – jumping out the wire
Gm7 – No, Carly baby, (spoken) RUSH (ROOS)
D7 – spinning up through de fire
Chorus (repeat)
Bridge:
Am7 – Moonlight comin’ down / Dm7 – saxophone cryin’ blue
Gm7 – Island heartbeat / C9 – always pullin’ on you
Outro Chorus (fade w/ad libs)
