This beginning of this track has an 60's era feel to it (old transistor radio). It starts with a lovey-dovey passage in the vein of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles, with just acoustic guitar and vocals. The hi-def quality kicks in with the full rock band and it transforms into a modern rock version of the passage. It has strong salsa and latin percussion, which gives it a slight Mexican sound. It will work well with heat/ fire, high-energy, dramatic, epic, speed and action-filled footage. Energetic guitars with a thumping bass line somewhere between pop and indie rock. The lyrics in the chorus describe a girl so seductive and hot that she paralyzes anyone she puts her eyes on. It's about "emotions amplifying" when she's around and feeling so head-over-heels infatuated and over-powered by a crush that it makes you want to cash in your chips. Game over. Sold. The lyrics in the verse talk about being original, one of a kind, and expressing the things that you need in a perfect relationship, i.e. "If you want to be lover darling... you've got to drop the expectations". Available as a vocal version and an instrumental verison. [Tempo: Medium, Fast / 126 BPM]

A tragic Romeo & Juliet style ending to this melodramatic tale of "Alex" and "Sarah".
