Cinematic piano ballad with slow 6/8 pulse, tender arpeggios and distant low percussion; verse stays intimate with solo felt piano and dry room tone, pre-chorus opens with rising strings and breathy doubled vocal, chorus lifts with full piano chords and warm choir pads. Lead vocal is close-mic and fragile in verses, then wider with soft doubles on the hook. Add reverse piano swells, a single impact hit before the final chorus, and a bright-but-wounded cinematic mix.
