[Intro, Spoken Word]
\nThump, thump
\n(Drip, drop)
\nEnough to make a heart stop<\/p>\n
[Instrumental Intro]
\n[Atmospheric Piano, Saxophone, Sustained Electric Guitar, Deep Bass, Distant Drums; Cold, Expansive Soundscape]<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nYou melt my heart
\nRight from the very start
\nA little warmth
\nA little spark
\nA little change
\nCan leave a mark<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nFalling rain
\nMelting snow
\nWhere the warm winds
\nChoose to blow<\/p>\n
Something frozen
\nStarts to move
\nSomething solid
\nFinds its groove<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nYou melt my heart
\n(Right from the very start)<\/p>\n
When it rains
\n(It pours)
\nOh, the strains
\n(No one ignores)<\/p>\n
You melt my heart
\n(In the flow)
\n… you know…
\n(It will depart)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nSix thousand two hundred
\nAnd five gigatons gone
\nHold on, hold on
\n… for how long?
\n(Same ole song)<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nFoehn winds blow
\nWarm and dry
\nDown the mountains
\nFrom the sky<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nYou melt my heart
\n(Right from the very start)<\/p>\n
When it rains
\n(It pours)
\nOh, the strains
\n(No one ignores)<\/p>\n
You melt my heart
\n(In the flow)
\n… you know…
\n(It will depart)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental Break]
\n[Saxophone Solo, Electric Guitar Swells, Hammond Organ, Rolling Drums; Rising Intensity]<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nWhen the foehn blows
\nAnd the river flows
\nThe ice sheet feels
\nWhat the atmosphere knows<\/p>\n
Warm air!
\n(Warm air!)<\/p>\n
Moist air!
\n(Moist air!)<\/p>\n
Meeting over Greenland
\nChanges everything there<\/p>\n
And those combined events
\nHave become more frequent
\nIn the twenty-first century<\/p>\n
[Instrumental, Whistling]<\/p>\n
[Spoken]
\nFoehn
\n(Keeps blowin’)<\/p>\n
Melt is felt.<\/p>\n
[Rap Vocal Break]
\nMelt!
\n(Felt!)<\/p>\n
Heart’s
\n(Part)<\/p>\n
Right from the very start!<\/p>\n
Reign!
\n(Pain!)<\/p>\n
Pour!
\n(Poor)<\/p>\n
At the door!<\/p>\n
Flow!
\n(Whoa, oh know)<\/p>\n
Watch it go
\n(Go, go, go)<\/p>\n
Gigatons!
\n(Gigatons!)<\/p>\n
Gone!
\n(Rise!)<\/p>\n
Changing shores
\nBefore our eyes!<\/p>\n
[Breakdown]
\n[Music Drops to Piano and Sparse Guitar]<\/p>\n
You melt my heart…<\/p>\n
And I wonder…<\/p>\n
How much can a heart take?<\/p>\n
[Pause]<\/p>\n
For goodness sake<\/p>\n
[Pause]<\/p>\n
How much can we take…<\/p>\n
[Build]
\n[Deep Bass Enters; Drums Gradually Rise]<\/p>\n
When it rains…<\/p>\n
(It pours.)<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nYou melt my heart
\n(Right from the very start)<\/p>\n
When it rains
\n(It pours)
\nOh, the strains
\n(No one ignores)<\/p>\n
You melt my heart
\n(In the flow)
\n… you know…
\n(It will depart)<\/p>\n
[Climactic Instrumental]
\n[Full Band: Saxophone, Electric Guitar, Hammond Organ, Piano, Bass, Drums and Atmospheric Synth; Expansive, Emotional Finale]<\/p>\n
[Spoken Over Whistle Instrumental]
\nOh, I fear…
\n(It does not simply disappear.)
\nSee the sea…
\n(Getting near)
\n… changing forms
\n(Our new norms)
\n… the energy…
\n(What a tragedy)<\/p>\n
[Final Hit]<\/p>\n
YOU MELT MY HEART!<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Soft Piano, Wind and Distant Water]<\/p>\n
When it rains…<\/p>\n
It pours.
\n(Poor, poor, poor)
\nTill no more.<\/p>\n
About the Song
\nGEUS estimates that Greenland lost approximately 6,205 Gt between 1986\/87 and 2025\/26, contributing approximately 17.4 mm to global mean sea level.<\/p>\n
Near low-elevation outlet glaciers, researchers found that 80\u2013100% of extreme melt occurred during foehn conditions, while 50\u201375% occurred during atmospheric-river conditions. The researchers also found that these combined AR-foehn events have become more frequent during the 21st century. <\/p>\n
