Shifting The Vent - Marlowe Sayre (Official Audio)

a hand on the louvers, heavy warm air drifting past, and soft light across the floor 💨 Airy tropical-house at 114 bpm with plucked synths, soft mallets and a warm rolling bass, made for a still, sun-baked afternoon. Listen to the full catalog:    / @marlowesayremusic   for the unspoken afternoon... you are standing over the floor vent, fingers on the grate, and neither of you has said the thing yet. the light is dissolving across the hardwood floor and the room has gone still. it feels like holding your breath in a warm room, wanting to speak and staying quiet. a little copper silence hanging in the air, and nobody rushing to break it. two people trading quiet over what is left, while the coffee goes cold by the window seat. nobody has to answer when the heat comes down. for anyone watching someone's patience slowly start to end and saying nothing. put it on by a window in the afternoon light and let the quiet stay a while. the soft plucks and round kick keep a gentle pulse under the dry, heavy air. if you like airy melodic pop with a tropical-house glow, this sits right beside it. have you ever stayed just a moment too long with your hand on something, waiting to be brave? do you leave the door open, or walk away with a small metal click behind you? a close, soft voice floats over open air with no harsh edges and no big drop. Lyrics You are shifting the vent as the room gets still We watch the light dissolve across the hardwood floor Your fingers resting on the heavy silver grate While neither of us moves toward the bedroom door The air is holding onto every weighted breath We trade a quiet silence over what is left A little strip of metal where the current bends I watch the way your patience slowly starts to end You tap the little lever as the pressure turns The afternoon is dry enough to leave a burn We let the metal rattle while the ceiling spins This is the narrow place where nothing else begins You are shifting the vent and you do not speak With bitter coffee cooling by the window seat A little copper silence hanging in the air While both of us are frozen in the quiet glare Oh, keep shifting the vent The copper louvers click beneath your steady palm We tried our hardest to keep everything so calm The heavy air is moving in a steady stream We wake up slowly from an inconclusive dream You tap the little lever as the pressure turns The afternoon is dry enough to leave a burn We let the metal rattle while the ceiling spins This is the narrow place where nothing else begins You are shifting the vent and you do not speak With bitter coffee cooling by the window seat A little copper silence hanging in the air While both of us are frozen in the quiet glare Oh, keep shifting the vent Nobody has to answer when the heat comes down We keep our balance on the edge of breaking ground The afternoon is turning in a golden wheel We touch the metal just to see if it is real You are shifting the vent and you do not speak With bitter coffee cooling by the window seat A little copper silence hanging in the air While both of us are frozen in the quiet glare Oh, keep shifting the vent Just a little metal click against the floor Before we walk away and leave the open door Marlowe Sayre is a virtual artist.
