A recorded reading of “Red Flags, White Wine”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
We toast to lessons we won’t learn; warnings flutter like a parade. Your grin is midnight traffic— I drift through caution, half-awake. Call it pairing cheap with pleasant, a tasting note of borrowed sense; the fridge hums, cellar-cool. Red flags, white wine— the coaster curls; cork dust freckles the napkin. Next time I’ll bring water, and maybe keep the glass. Tonight we underline the moment— a tannin ring, one stain laughing.
Instructional lyrics
[Intro 8b analog pad vinyl crackle] [Tag 2b reverb tail] [Verse 1 lofi drums palm-mute gtr] We toast, we don't learn Warnings wave down the street Your grin is midnight lanes I drift slow through the heat Cheap sweet, we call it fine Fridge hums, fake cellar chill [Pre rise filter sweep] Coaster curls at the edge Cork dust freckle the cloth [Break 2b stop] [Chorus bigger double vox] Red flags, white wine I ignore the sign I cross the line Red flags, white wine [Verse 2 lofi drums palm-mute gtr] You laugh, the stem rings We underline this night Tannin leaves one brown moon On the table, in the light I say I will bring water Maybe keep my glass clean [Pre rise sub swell] Phone face down like a coin Heads I stay, tails I leave [Break 2b stop] [Chorus bigger call & response] Red flags, white wine I ignore the sign I cross the line Red flags, white wine [Bridge strip to vox+pad] Next time I bring water This time I pour blind [Chorus bigger stacked chorus] Red flags, white wine I ignore the sign I cross the line Red flags, white wine [Chorus x2] [Tag 2b reverb tail] [Outro 4b hall plate]
