Melancholic Russian chanson ballad, male vocals. Nylon-string guitar fingerpicked intimate and dry; soft accordion swells underline the downbeats, upright-style bass and gentle brush kit in a slow sway. Verses are half-spoken, close-mic, almost whispered; chorus opens into longer melodic lines with light “aaah” backing pads widening the image. Second chorus brings in subtle string swells and a slight sense of lift in the groove, then the arrangement strips back to solo guitar and voice for the final line, hanging in the air., slow, vocal, chanson, soft, warm, male vocals, accordion, gentle, ballad
