1. The Drums (The 2-Step Pattern) The drum beat is fast, running at about 134 BPM. Instead of a steady house beat, it uses a skipping UK Garage / 2-Step pattern: • Kick Drum: Hits hard on the first beat, but skips the second, creating a bouncy, syncopated rhythm. • Snare/Clap: Hits sharply on the "2" and "4" beats to keep the groove anchored. • Hi-Hats: Shuffling, sharp, and very fast. They use a lot of "swing" to give the track its signature British electronic dance music momentum. 2. The Bassline • Sub-Bass: A deep, rolling, and heavy sub-bass that follows the chord progression. It’s smooth and warm, filling out the bottom of the track so the fast drums don't sound too empty. 3. The Chords & Melody • The Chords: A simple, melancholic, 4-chord loop played on a clean, soft electric guitar or a vintage keyboard synth. It sounds very intimate and cozy, contrasting with the fast tempo of the drums. • The Lead Synth: A high-pitched, plucky, or whistling synth melody that pops up in the bac

Lyrics
Intro)
You know what I feel like, hell yeahhh
Mary Joanna, Mary Joanna, Mary Joanna
Good for me and you, Mary Joanna
(Chorus)
(makes you really high) Mary Joanna
(makes you feel fly) Mary Joanna's good for me and you, Mary Joanna (chilling with your homies)
Mary Joanna (gives you the munchies) Mary Joanna's good for me and you (get it from your neighbour even from a stranger) Mary Joanna's good for me and you (make it in your brownies ain’t no frownies) Mary Joanna's good for me and you
(Verse 2)
Thick smoke rising, static in the brain
Deep in the couch, numb to the pain
Heavy eyelids, red eyes, vision gets blurry
Time slowing down, no reason to hurry
Spark up the herb, let the room fill with green
Living in a slow-motion, psychedelic dream
Roll it in a paper, light it up, let it burn
Pass it down the line, yeah it’s everybody's turn
Floating on a wave, completely out of space
Mary Joanna puts a smile on my face
