He and she (v.2)

Intro (4 bars)

(Guitar: slow blues riff in the sequence Em–Am–B7–Em, played by brute force and soft strokes on the strings,Bass: emphasizes the root notes by adding octave strokes, Percussion: light strokes on the snare drum and cymbals using brushes, Keyboards: soft arpeggios on the background.)

Part "He"

(Male vocals: deep, rich timbre, with a slight hoarseness,Guitar: rhythm chords with accents on weak parts,Bass: smooth transitions between notes that emphasize harmony, Percussion: restrained playing, emphasis on snare drum, Keyboards: background chords that do not overlap the vocals.)

I don't need a dreamer by my side.,

No pink glasses, no reason to hide.

You see the real me, the road, the storm.,

Don't ask me to change, don't pretend to be unhappy.

Just stand with me, back to back, you and me,

Even when the miles stretch all the way to the sky.

Part "She"

(Female vocals: emotional, with notes of strength and confidence, Instruments: similar to the "He" part, but with the addition of a harmonica in some lines, Dynamics: slightly richer sound compared to the "He" part.)

I'm not looking for a tamed man in a cage.,

I don't count the nights, I don't turn the page.

I want a man with fire, with a soul that I can trust.,

with respect, not with comfort — that's how it should be.

If you're sincere with me, I'll be sincere with you.,

That's the only promise I'm keeping here.

Transition (8 bars) 

(guitar solo-using bands, vibrato and legato, chord progression: Em–G–Am–D, bass and drums: maintain the rhythm without interrupting the solo, Keyboards: Minimal chords to create an atmosphere.)

Part «Both»

(Vocals: duet — the voices intertwine, creating an effect of unity.Guitar: powerful chords on strong parts, accents on the chorus. Bass: more active playing with moves between chords. Percussion: switching to sticks, clearer accents. Keyboards and harmonica: add depth and saturation.)

We'll put it all aside, leave the past behind.,

Let's walk the hard way, hand in hand, side by side.

Back to back we'll face the storm,

Let's protect each other, let's keep each other warm.

We will never break, we will never bend, we will never fall apart.,

We are one whole, two halves of one strong heart.

Part "He" 

(Vocals and instruments: similar to the first part of "He", but with a little more dynamics. Guitar: Adds additional notes to chords.)

The road calls, sometimes I have to go,

But my heart knows the way back, I want you to know.

No empty promises, just the hard truth.:

My back is your refuge, your word is my proof.

Part "She" 

(Vocals and instruments: similar to the first part of "She", with an increased emotional pitch. Harmonica: more active participation.)

I won't bind you with a silent plea.,

Your wild soul is the reason you were created for me.

When you come back, I'll be standing right here.,

Strong and unwavering, and I will have nothing to fear.

[Transition: guitar solo, 4 bars]

Part "Both" (finale)

(Vocals: a duet with maximum emotional impact. Guitar: powerful chords, accents on key strings. Bass: active moves that emphasize dynamics. Percussion: energetic playing, accents on all parts. Keyboards and harmonica: create the final chord.)

We made a choice a long time ago.,

The same path, the same journey, we have nowhere to go.

But we are moving forward together, through darkness and light.,

Through every battle, every long night before bedtime.

We are one, not two, that's our credo.,

Shoulder to shoulder, now and whenever necessary.

Outro

(Guitar: A fading riff from the Intro.  Bass and keyboards: smooth fading. Percussion: the last beats on the cymbals, fading into silence.)
