Track Insight / Lyrics
Dust motes dance in fading light,
Old Detroit breathes through the long night.
A piano waits, a silent plea,
Lost melodies for you and me.
He knew the streets, each cracked concrete line,
Forty years drivin', watchin' the city shine.
Saw factories rise and fortunes fall,
Heard every heartbreak echo through the hall.
Brick and ivory, a soulful sound,
Motown whispers on hallowed ground.
Keys worn smooth by a thousand hands,
Detroit's heartbeat across the lands.
This warehouse held dreams, a vibrant beat,
Where singers soared and danced on their feet.
Smokey haze and the rumble low,
A golden era, a long ago glow.
Brick and ivory, a soulful sound,
Motown whispers on hallowed ground.
Keys worn smooth by a thousand hands,
Detroit's heartbeat across the lands.
Now silence hangs, a heavy weight,
The paint peels off, sealed by fate.
But the piano remembers every chord,
Every story lovingly adored.
Brick and ivory, a soulful sound,
Motown whispers on hallowed ground.
Keys worn smooth by a thousand hands,
Detroit's heartbeat across the lands.
The driver says, "This town ain't dead,
Just sleepin' now, inside its head."
"The rhythm's deep, it won't be denied,
It lives in the music, deep inside."
He touches the keys, a gentle grace,
A melody stirs in this forgotten place.
A whisper of hope, a fragile art,
A broken city, a mending heart.
Brick and ivory, a soulful sound,
Motown whispers on hallowed ground.
Keys worn smooth by a thousand hands,
Detroit's heartbeat across the lands!
Dust settles slow, the music fades,
Detroit remembers, through the long parades.
Brick and ivory, forever true,
A city's soul, shining anew.
