Cinematic indie ballad, 84 BPM, A minor, passionate and tender. Male vocals: breathy, close-mic in verses — clean, no oriental influence. Chorus: oriental style — melismatic, long sustained vowels, warm vibrato, confident, not fragile. Optional wordless vocalise (a-a-a, o-o-o). Female backing echo in bridge. Instruments: piano, acoustic guitar, bass, strings, pads, light drums. Chorus adds duduk, saz, oud as warm color. Verses sparse; pre-chorus builds with strings and kick; chorus wider and fuller; bridge stripped to piano and voice; final chorus sustained. Mood: longing, passion, hope — not despair. No auto-tune. Tape saturation.
