Adult contemporary power ballad with sweeping 6/8 pulse, dramatic piano arpeggios, soaring guitar lines, expressive saxophone countermelodies, and a steady cinematic drum lift; verse stays intimate with close-mic vocal and sparse keys, pre-chorus opens with rising strings and breathy doubles, chorus blooms with full drums, sax hook, and stacked harmonies. Delay throws on key phrases, warm tape sheen, emotional wide mix.
