Gospel Drop (Brass and Bass Gospel) (A)

Gospel Drop (Brass and Bass Gospel) (A) — Arjuna Sound / CongoTunes Playlist: Revival Gospel — Brass & Bass LYRICS: [Intro - Hammond organ swells alone in the dark, a single held note, the festival crowd hushed, four-on-the-floor kick starts ticking under it] (Lord... we ready... let the house move...) Put your hands up if you been carried this far... [Verse 1 - half-spoken gospel preacher cadence over a deep rolling bass-house pulse, brass holding back, building tension] I was down in the valley with my pockets turned out Nothing left in my hands but a holler and a shout The world said quit, the world said lay down and die But somethin' deep inside me wouldn't let the fire go dry I been broke, I been beat, I been low to the floor But every time I'm finished, Jah open one more door So I lift up my head and I lift up my sound 'Cause the bass about to roll and the glory comin' down [Pre-Chorus - the organ climbs, the choir hums under it, the kick doubles, hands clapping on the upbeat, tension stacking] Can you feel it rising, rising, rising in the room (rising!) Can you feel the whole house shaking off the gloom (oh!) Hold it... hold it... let the choir take a breath — Now LET IT GO! [Chorus - THE DROP: full gospel choir explodes, screaming brass stabs on every beat, nitrous bass slams in, four-on-the-floor full throttle, ecstatic] DROP! — Hallelujah, let it drop! (drop it down!) Glory in the bassline and it ain't gonna stop (no!) Brass for the King and the choir gonna shout This is how the spirit comes pourin' on out! DROP! — Praise Him in the low end, praise Him in the high Praise Him on the dancefloor reachin' for the sky Lord, the house is Your temple and the temple gonna rock — Gospel in the bassline, let the GOSPEL DROP! [Verse 2 - back to the preacher cadence, bass rolling, brass teasing little stabs] Tell your neighbour, tell your brother, tell the back of the room There's a healing in the riddim gonna chase away the doom I don't need no fancy church and I don't need no gold Just a bassline and a choir and a story being told 'Bout a Man who took my burden, 'bout a Love that paid my debt 'Bout the lowest of the low that the Lord ain't forget So when the brass start screaming and the organ start to moan That's a poor man's hallelujah callin' Heaven on the phone [Pre-Chorus] Can you feel it rising, rising, rising in the room (rising!) Can you feel the whole house shaking off the gloom (oh!) Hold it... hold it... let the choir take a breath — Now LET IT GO! [Chorus - THE DROP again, fuller, brass section wailing, choir at full force] DROP! — Hallelujah, let it drop! (drop it down!) Glory in the bassline and it ain't gonna stop (no!) Brass for the King and the choir gonna shout This is how the spirit comes pourin' on out! DROP! — Praise Him in the low end, praise Him in the high Praise Him on the dancefloor reachin' for the sky Lord, the house is Your temple and the temple gonna rock — Gospel in the bassline, let the GOSPEL DROP! [Bridge - everything strips to organ and a single choir voice, holy and quiet, the calm before the biggest drop, congregation answering soft] (He lifted me... He lifted me...) When I had nothing, He was everything I owned When I walked the valley, I was never walked alone Now the brass is in my chest and the bass is in my bone — choir, take me HOME! [Chorus - FINAL DROP, biggest of all, brass and choir and nitrous bass all at once, the room a flood] DROP! — Hallelujah, let it drop! (drop it down!) Glory in the bassline and it ain't gonna stop (no!) Brass for the King and the choir gonna shout This is how the spirit comes pourin' on out! DROP! — Praise Him in the low end, praise Him in the high Praise Him on the dancefloor reachin' for the sky Lord, the house is Your temple and the temple gonna rock — Gospel in the bassline, let the GOSPEL DROP! [Outro - the choir holds one shining chord, the brass fades, the bass rolls out warm, the organ has the last word] Let it drop... let it drop... all glory to the Most High... (the poor gonna dance... the lost gonna shout... Hallelujah... amen.)
