Dark pop-rock ballad with spoken word intro. Male voice, warm baritone, storytelling delivery in the spoken section (no melody, clear diction, like a confession in a dim room). Emotional singing in verse/chorus: powerful but restrained, no screaming, vocal texture should feel raw and real. Key: D minor. BPM: 96 (driving, steady, with a slight lift to 104 in the chorus). Instruments: heavy but clean electric guitar with subtle overdrive, deep bass with long sustain, punchy drums with tight snare and dry cymbals, atmospheric synth pads in the background for depth, minimal piano for texture. Mood: dark, intimate, cathartic, emotionally charged. 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, not a wall of sound.
