The Unturned Key - Flora Bellamy (Official Audio)

hand on the unturned key, the engine humming low, one more minute before the door 🌺 Warm tropical-house at 114 BPM with plucked synths, soft mallets and finger-snaps, for sitting in the car in the driveway after a long drive. Listen to the full catalog:    / @florabellamy   for the engine still idling... you pulled into the driveway and your hand is still resting on the key, the engine humming in the dark. the long drive back from a difficult visit is over, and you are not ready to get out of the car yet. you know the empty house is waiting, and the silence feels heavier than the drive did. cutting the switch means sitting alone, so you let the motor run a little longer. rain taps on the glass while the dashboard light glows and nobody needs you to move yet. one more minute of stalling is all you have in you before the front door, and the key stays where it is. two people sharing a quiet car, a woolen coat, a hand resting close, nothing left to say. a radio tune from long ago plays low while the dash-clock counts another minute. a tender, reluctant calm, the kind that comes when you want to keep the hours a little longer. put it on for the last stretch of the drive home, or for the minutes parked before you go inside. if you like mellow tropical house and soft melodic pop, you will feel at home in this driveway. plucked synths, soft mallets and finger-snaps hold you gently while the engine idles. just let it idle slow, nowhere else to go. is there a place you park a little longer, just to keep the night from falling? who are you holding the quiet with while the headlights shine on the brick and stone? Lyrics With the unturned key in the silent ignition Holding the line on a heavy decision The motor hums in the driveway lane Against the glass tap the drops of rain Dashboard light glows in the dark ahead Not another word left unsaid We rode the miles through the coastal space Now we are parked in the usual place The headlights shine on the brick and stone And cutting the switch means sitting alone The metal switch is cold beneath my hand We linger at the borders of our land Just leave it bare With the unturned key in the silent ignition Holding the line on a heavy decision The engine idles while the dark gets deep Keeping the hours that we want to keep Oh, the unturned key keeps the night from falling While the empty hall is outside calling Your fingers rest on the woolen coat With every breath in a quiet throat The dash-clock counts another minute past We knew this quiet wouldn't always last Just idling here in the glowing street Where two uncertain shadows meet The radio plays a tune from long ago With nowhere else we really need to go Just let it stay With the unturned key in the silent ignition Holding the line on a heavy decision The engine idles while the dark gets deep Keeping the hours that we want to keep Oh, the unturned key keeps the night from falling While the empty hall is outside calling We can stay right here in the amber glow Before we open up the door and go The night is warm and the air is still Resting right here on the sloping hill With the unturned key in the silent ignition Holding the line on a heavy decision The engine idles while the dark gets deep Keeping the hours that we want to keep Oh, the unturned key keeps the night from falling While the empty hall is outside calling Just let it idle slow Nowhere else to go Flora Bellamy is a virtual artist.
