Midnight Bonfire

(The sound of logs crackling and popping in a large fire fills the stereo field. A raw, un-amplified acoustic guitar strum starts playing a driving, upbeat chord progression at 145 BPM. A crowd is heard cheering and laughing in the background.)

Yeah, pull the trucks up in a circle!Drop the tailgates down.

We’re bringing the biggest fire in the county tonight.

No drama, no rumors, just good energy.

Throw another log on the flames…And let the bass burn!

One. Two. Three. Let’s go!

(A crisp, fast-rolling trap 808 hi-hat enters, ticking over a booming, rhythmic kick drum. The acoustic guitar gets louder, layered with a bright, energetic country banjo pluck.)

Out past the grid lines, deep in the dark,

Striking a match, waiting for the spark.

Pallets piled high, climbing up to the sky,

Lighting up the night as the embers fly high.

Cold drinks chilling in the bed of the truck,

If you came to party, then you’re in real luck.

The flames are roaring, casting shadows on the trees,

Feel the heat rising on the late summer breeze.

(The rhythm shifts into a heavy, bouncy half-time trap groove. The banjo drops out, replaced by a deep, sliding 808 sub-bass that bends underneath the vocal flow.)

Look around the circle, yeah the circle is tight,

Only positive vibes in the middle of the night.

We left the small-town talk back down on Main,

Dancing in the dust, forgetting the pain.

Firelight reflecting on a hundred smiling faces,

This is the magic of the rural wide-open spaces.

From the backyard creek to the bonfire smoke,

We turn a little spark into a festival choke!

(The acoustic elements completely filter out into an echoing, electronic space. A rapid-fire, high-voltage marching snare drum builds velocity alongside an accelerating siren riser. The vocal switches to a hyper-energetic delivery.)

Yeah, the sparks are flying higher, the horizon is bright,

We’re burning down the darkness with the festival light!

Can you feel the sub swelling? Watch the whole ground shake,

For the heritage and pride in every step we take!

Throw it in the fire!

Watch the flames rise!

ONE! TWO! THREE! CHOP THE BLOCK!

(The track violently explodes into a fire-hot, aggressive Festival Dubstep drop. Crushing, metallic bass growls rip through the mix, modulating with intense speed. A hyper-distorted electric guitar melody tears over a punishing 4x4 kick drum pattern.)

(Bass growls explode: YOI-YOI-YOI, CHUG-CHUG)

MIDNIGHT BONFIRE!

(Heavy 808 sub-bass slides downward)

Let the fire burn!

(4x4 kicks pounding relentlessly)

ROSSVILLE ROOTS!

(Metallic bass modulations shake the floor)

Now it’s our turn!

Go! Fight! Win!

Let the drop begin!

(The electronic walls drop away completely on the downbeat. The atmosphere transforms into a massive, echoing stadium announcer reverb. A crisp marching band drumline rolls rapidly. The vocals cut through an intense megaphone filter.)

From the sparks in the yard to the stadium lights,

The red and the black is burning hot tonight!

Spell it out loud so they know who we are,

From the country roads to the city afar!

Give me a D!

Give me an A!

Give me a W-G-S!

(A massive electronic sweep reaches its absolute peak velocity)

D.A.W.G.S let's go!

That's my home!

(The final drop hits with even more aggressive festival energy. The Dubstep groove shifts into a rapid-fire triplet kick drum pattern with a screeching country fiddle melody playing on absolute overdrive over the wall of mechanical bass growls.)

(Bass stabs explode)

MIDNIGHT BONFIRE!

(Sub-bass modulations shaking the low frequencies)

WE DON'T BEND!

(Screeching country fiddle over heavy festival bass)

ROSSVILLE ROOTS!

(4x4 kicks pounding)

FIGHT TILL THE END!

(The heavy walls of bass instantly cut to absolute silence on the downbeat. The soft sound of logs crackling and popping from the intro fades back in. A lonely acoustic guitar chord is plucked softly, decaying into pure silence. The vocal is dry and intimate.)

Man, that fire is huge.

Keep that energy alive, y'all.

MISSY LAND... we out.

(The sound of the crackling fire fades out completely into total silence.)
