Cinematic spoken word and pop ballad hybrid. Male voice, warm baritone, storytelling delivery in the spoken intro (no melody, speech-like, clear diction); then clear emotional singing in verse/chorus. Key: Am. BPM: 86 (with a slight lift to 94 in the chorus). Instruments: minimal fingerpicked acoustic guitar and soft piano in the intro/spoken section; subtle upright bass and light brushes on drums for the verse; swelling strings and wider stereo in the chorus without overpowering the vocal. Mood: intimate, vulnerable, cathartic, tender. Structure: Intro → Spoken → Instrumental Bridge → Verse 1 → Pre-Chorus → Chorus → Verse 2 → Bridge → Chorus (bigger impact) → Outro. Keep the spoken section clear and foregrounded; the chorus should feel like a release. No vocal runs or melisma — the melody should support the lyrics, not overshadow them.
