Whispers Through the Vinyl

Think Smokey Robinson meets Paul Davis, with a time-travel twist.
Key: A minor
Tempo: Slow groove (around 72 BPM)
Chords: Am – F – C – G (main progression)

Verse 1

Am
Found it in a dusty crate
F
Hidden past the closing gate
C
Needle drops, the air stands still
G
Like the past has a voice, and always will
Am
Crackling warmth, the record spins
F
Ghosts of love, and violins
C
A voice I swear I’ve heard before
G
Calling from a distant shore
Chorus

F
Whispers through the vinyl
C
Soft and sentimental
G
Time fades, but love survives
Am
In grooves that never lie

F
Every note, a secret sign
C
From another place and time
G
You’re still here, in every line
Am
Whispers through the vinyl

Verse 2

Am
Late at night, I close my eyes
F
Let the needle hypnotize
C
I feel you dancing in the sound
G
Your heartbeat in the background
Am
A melody too sweet to fake
F
Like rain that falls on a quiet lake
C
You left your soul in every track
G
And somehow… you’re coming back
(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Dm
Can a song rewind the years?
Am
Bring back laughter, chase the tears?
F
I’m lost inside your echo’s light
G
Spinning through the starless night
Final Chorus (softer, more intimate)

F
Whispers through the vinyl
C
Tender and eternal
G
Your love’s a lullaby
Am
I keep replaying in my mind
F
Even as the world moves on
C
Your harmony is never gone
G
In that song, we still belong
Am
Whispers through the vinyl
