In A minor key, moderate groove ~78 BPM, warm live-band feel. Soft female lead vocal, no harsh highs, smooth and warm tone, every word distinct but gentle. One acoustic guitar dominant: fingerpicking with natural woody tone, light body resonance. Very subtle bass, just enough to outline the harmony. Minimal drums: dry kick and crisp snare only, no cymbals or brushes. No synthetic textures, no piercing highs. Short acoustic fills between verses. Male lyrical baritone, natural voice, warm tone, slight breathiness, clear diction, storytelling delivery. Verses intimate and close-mic’d, chorus full and resonant. Vocal-forward mix, lead vocal always upfront and present, no robotic autotune.
