[Intro, Spoken Word]
Thump, thump
(Drip, drop)
Enough to make a heart stop
[Instrumental Intro]
[Atmospheric Piano, Saxophone, Sustained Electric Guitar, Deep Bass, Distant Drums; Cold, Expansive Soundscape]
[Verse 1]
You melt my heart
Right from the very start
A little warmth
A little spark
A little change
Can leave a mark
[Pre-Chorus]
Falling rain
Melting snow
Where the warm winds
Choose to blow
Something frozen
Starts to move
Something solid
Finds its groove
[Refrain]
You melt my heart
(Right from the very start)
When it rains
(It pours)
Oh, the strains
(No one ignores)
You melt my heart
(In the flow)
… you know…
(It will depart)
[Verse 2]
Six thousand two hundred
And five gigatons gone
Hold on, hold on
… for how long?
(Same ole song)
[Pre-Chorus]
Foehn winds blow
Warm and dry
Down the mountains
From the sky
[Refrain]
You melt my heart
(Right from the very start)
When it rains
(It pours)
Oh, the strains
(No one ignores)
You melt my heart
(In the flow)
… you know…
(It will depart)
[Instrumental Break]
[Saxophone Solo, Electric Guitar Swells, Hammond Organ, Rolling Drums; Rising Intensity]
[Bridge]
When the foehn blows
And the river flows
The ice sheet feels
What the atmosphere knows
Warm air!
(Warm air!)
Moist air!
(Moist air!)
Meeting over Greenland
Changes everything there
And those combined events
Have become more frequent
In the twenty-first century
[Instrumental, Whistling]
[Spoken]
Foehn
(Keeps blowin’)
Melt is felt.
[Rap Vocal Break]
Melt!
(Felt!)
Heart’s
(Part)
Right from the very start!
Reign!
(Pain!)
Pour!
(Poor)
At the door!
Flow!
(Whoa, oh know)
Watch it go
(Go, go, go)
Gigatons!
(Gigatons!)
Gone!
(Rise!)
Changing shores
Before our eyes!
[Breakdown]
[Music Drops to Piano and Sparse Guitar]
You melt my heart…
And I wonder…
How much can a heart take?
[Pause]
For goodness sake
[Pause]
How much can we take…
[Build]
[Deep Bass Enters; Drums Gradually Rise]
When it rains…
(It pours.)
[Final Refrain]
You melt my heart
(Right from the very start)
When it rains
(It pours)
Oh, the strains
(No one ignores)
You melt my heart
(In the flow)
… you know…
(It will depart)
[Climactic Instrumental]
[Full Band: Saxophone, Electric Guitar, Hammond Organ, Piano, Bass, Drums and Atmospheric Synth; Expansive, Emotional Finale]
[Spoken Over Whistle Instrumental]
Oh, I fear…
(It does not simply disappear.)
See the sea…
(Getting near)
… changing forms
(Our new norms)
… the energy…
(What a tragedy)
[Final Hit]
YOU MELT MY HEART!
[Outro]
[Soft Piano, Wind and Distant Water]
When it rains…
It pours.
(Poor, poor, poor)
Till no more.
About the Song
GEUS estimates that Greenland lost approximately 6,205 Gt between 1986/87 and 2025/26, contributing approximately 17.4 mm to global mean sea level.
Near low-elevation outlet glaciers, researchers found that 80–100% of extreme melt occurred during foehn conditions, while 50–75% occurred during atmospheric-river conditions. The researchers also found that these combined AR-foehn events have become more frequent during the 21st century.
