Dark indie ballad / cinematic alternative Tempo: 72 BPM Key: D minor Vocal: Male. Restrained, cold, almost clinical in verses — like reading a report. Pre-chorus — tension rising, voice thinning. Chorus — full, aching, but not screaming. Bridge — broken, almost spoken, with a crack on the last line. No rasp. No belt. Cold fire. Instruments: Soft piano (slightly out of tune), deep sub-bass, sparse electronic drums (muted kick, dry snare), distant strings in chorus, vinyl crackle. Solo — 8 bars, distorted guitar with long bends, crying, not technical. Production: Cold, spacious. Reverb: large hall on chorus, dry on verses. Tape saturation. Silence between notes as part of the arrangement. Mood: Loneliness inside closeness. A formula that doesn't solve. Not anger — verdict. Structure: intro → verse 1 → pre-chorus → chorus → verse 2 → chorus → solo → bridge → final chorus → outro
