Prompt
Original 6/8 gospel-soul ballad, quarter = 78 (dotted quarter 52), Ab major lifting a whole step to Bb major for the final chorus. A flute hook (Eb-F-Ab, falling back through G-F) is teased on piano in the intro, turned upside down in the verses, climbed as a rising sequence in the pre-chorus, stated twice in every chorus, stretched over a chromatic Emaj9 in the bridge and played softly in the outro. A choir echoes it in the late choruses. Gospel piano in 6/8 (arpeggios in verse 1, full broken chords later, chromatic passing chords a half step above), tonewheel organ swells, finger bass with chromatic approaches and 16th pickups. Chords: Dbmaj9, C7#9, Fm11-Bb13, Gm7b5-C7b9, Ddim7 passing, Dbm6-Gb13 (minor iv), Ab13sus-Ab7b9, B13 tritone sub, F13sus-F7#9 pivot, and an Ebm6-Ab13 "amen" ending. Cross-stick verses, late snare and tambourine backbeat in the choruses, ghost notes, 16th snare-roll builds, a bridge breakdown, a strings-and-choir final chorus, and a ritardando outro.
