The song "Annie", off of Kelley Ahlstrom's EP goes all out in terms of vocals arrangement. The ballad starts off slow and calm. But by the time it reaches the end, the intensity builds to extreme levels.
lyrics
It was all bound to fall apart
the moment I opened my heart
So take from me whatever you will
and I’ll, I’ll try to grow stronger
But I stop to pick up my shedding skin
your broken promises soaked in
oh, annie don’t run slow
Annie won’t you come home
Annie won’t you come home
Annie won’t you come home
Left flowers in your bedroom
just the way you like it
maybe you’ll see them soon
Annie won’t you come home
Annie won’t you come home
Annie won’t you come home
been waiting for a while now
just to find an empty house
maybe you’ll fill it soon
Do you remember a dare
you told me?
Don’t live in your fears
so I wait for another day
I won’t give up isn’t that what you’d say
But I stop to pick up my shedding skin
your broken promises soaked in
oh, annie don’t run slow
Annie won’t you come home
Annie won’t you come home
Annie won’t you come home
Left flowers in your bedroom
just the way you like it
maybe you’ll see them soon
Annie won’t you come home
Annie won’t you come home
Annie won’t you come home
been waiting for a while now
just to find an empty house
maybe you’ll fill it soon
I, I will fight
I’ll be strong
I’ll be strong
I, I will survive
I know you’re gone
I know you’re gone
Annie won’t you come home
Annie won’t you come home
Annie won’t you come home
Left flowers in your bedroom
just the way you like it
maybe you’ll see them soon
Annie won’t you come home
Annie won’t you come home
Annie won’t you come home
been waiting for a while now
just to find an empty house
maybe you’ll fill it soon
