All songs / David Alan Graham
Last call and the long walk to whatever's next.
Lights came on, band packed up
Last few stragglers givin' up
Chairs on tables, boots on floors
Same old scene behind closed doors
Bride's sash hangin' by the bar
Somebody left one earring off
Half a tab and a broken straw
Man, what a night we saw
Funny how it all burns fast
One big blur, then it's in the past
Closing time shutdown
Breakin' down the night somehow
Countin' tips and countin' stories
Laughin' while we wipe it down
Neon dim and speakers off
Last call gone, crowd gone now
Funny how the wildest nights
End in a shutdown
Bartender countin' out the cash
Talkin' 'bout who crashed and laughed
College kids still out front loud
Tryna stretch the night out somehow
Regulars gone, game long done
Same old place, but the rush is gone
Just the echoes and the work right now
And what's left of that crowd
Whole room full just hours ago
Now it's quiet, movin' slow
Closing time shutdown
Breakin' down the night somehow
Countin' tips and countin' stories
Laughin' while we wipe it down
Neon dim and speakers off
Last call gone, crowd gone now
Funny how the wildest nights
End in a shutdown
Same lights, same floor, same room
But every night burns different too
Different faces, same old song
Then the magic's gone by dawn
Closing time shutdown
Breakin' down the night somehow
Countin' tips and countin' stories
Holdin' on to one more round
Neon dim and speakers off
Sunlight creepin' in right now
Funny how the wildest nights
Always end in a shutdown
Lights came on, band packed up
Last few stragglers givin' up
Chairs on tables, boots on floors
Same old scene behind closed doors
Bride's sash hangin' by the bar
Somebody left one earring off
Half a tab and a broken straw
Man, what a night we saw
Funny how it all burns fast
One big blur, then it's in the past
Closing time shutdown
Breakin' down the night somehow
Countin' tips and countin' stories
Laughin' while we wipe it down
Neon dim and speakers off
Last call gone, crowd gone now
Funny how the wildest nights
End in a shutdown
Bartender countin' out the cash
Talkin' 'bout who crashed and laughed
College kids still out front loud
Tryna stretch the night out somehow
Regulars gone, game long done
Same old place, but the rush is gone
Just the echoes and the work right now
And what's left of that crowd
Whole room full just hours ago
Now it's quiet, movin' slow
Closing time shutdown
Breakin' down the night somehow
Countin' tips and countin' stories
Laughin' while we wipe it down
Neon dim and speakers off
Last call gone, crowd gone now
Funny how the wildest nights
End in a shutdown
Same lights, same floor, same room
But every night burns different too
Different faces, same old song
Then the magic's gone by dawn
Closing time shutdown
Breakin' down the night somehow
Countin' tips and countin' stories
Holdin' on to one more round
Neon dim and speakers off
Sunlight creepin' in right now
Funny how the wildest nights
Always end in a shutdown
This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
